12. Dalmadoodle
The Dalmadoodle, or Dalmapoo, is a designer cross of a Dalmatian and a Poodle. These spotted, witty dogs are protective and devoted. They might bark at unknowns but are warm and loving with family when trained well. Dalmadoodles are gaining traction as distinctive family pets. Their appearance differs, with some sporting Dalmatian spots and others a curly Poodle coat. They typically weigh 40 to 70 pounds and stand 15 to 25 inches tall. Energetic, they need regular activity and mental tasks. Their intelligence aids training, though stubbornness requires positive reinforcement. Perfect for active families, they excel in dog sports.
