    Does anyone here know where I can find Dalmatian breeders? Or does anyone know anyone selling puppies, etc?

    no, but I do know that 1 in 3 are deaf in at least 1 ear so make sure your puppy has had it's hearing checked by a vet.

    10%-12% are affected by hearing loss, yup, hopefully I'll get a BAER test done if I get one.

    Thanks for letting me know anyway :)

    No, according to experiments done in 2003, 21.9% are completely deaf and 8% are deaf in one ear.

    I don't know much about them personally - this site might help. I can vouch for the Dalmation being a bit aggressive with other dogs.

    My dogs encountered a few different Dalmations on their travels and all reacted aggressively to the playful advances of the dobies - and I can't think of any other dogs that did. :rolleyes:
