I have a lab Dalmatian, and after about 10 years, he has calmed down. He
is a large yappy dog. This could be the Dalmatian influence.
He has always been great with kids, lots of fun, but quite challenging,
because he is not as easily trainable as some dogs. I think this is a sign
of intelligence, he sneaks around and does what he wants, but he only does
forbidden things when he thinks I am not looking; for example, stand at the
counter and pick out what he would like to eat, or open doors with his nose.
He has a fondness for garbage despite the Tabasco, pepper, and all the
tricks that are suppose to discourage him. He has ruined our new carpet,
doors, shoes, furniture, but he is still around, and I am glad.
