I have owned a dalmation- simply put they can be VERY smart, but due to their popularity in the U.S. they often suffer from inbreeding issues that can produce a dog with defects ranging from skittishness to stupidity to very aggressive tendencies, as well as the deafness problem (though that can hit any of the breed) in any event they are almost always rather high maint. and not a great choice for a "kid dog".... and to those who have had great experiences with the breed and kids, yes it is possible, all dogs are individuals, etc.. hell, the most loving and friendly dog I know is a staffordshire terrier......
