Egad, can we all say "DOLTS"? Why don't these people take this lovely dog to obedience class and see if she wouldn't become a better member of the family? This sort of human behavior just gripes my butt. My mom placed one of the Border Terriers she bred with a Dentist and his family and they finally sent him back because he managed to dig through the bottom of his crate and into their floor -- they were only home about an hour a day except to sleep because they were all so involved in other things. He also became somewhat aggressive and the final action with him was to put him down despite the begging my eldest daughter and I did on his behalf. He stayed with my daughter for a week or two and was quite the gentleman. I couldn't believe my mom had him put down despite what the two of us said. We were both working at PetsMart at the time and had much more experience with this type of situation, but she and her co-owner decided it would damage their reputations too much and they would not be considered responsible if they placed him again and something happened. A perfectly nice dog dead because people that shouldn't even have had a dog ruined his life.

The same could be said for these Dalmi rescue people. They should be willing to take the "accidents" as long as they know one of the parents was a Dalmation. Lab Rescue has the right idea. I better stop, 'cause this kind of situation makes me so mad, I could spit nails.
