12. Dalmadoodle

The Dalmadoodle, or Dalmapoo, mixes Dalmatian and Poodle. These spotted, intelligent dogs are protective and loyal. They may bark at strangers but become loving, affectionate family members with proper training. Growing in popularity as unique family pets, their appearance ranges from prominent Dalmatian spots to curly Poodle coats. Typically weighing 40-70 pounds and standing 15-25 inches tall, these energetic dogs need regular exercise and mental challenges. Their intelligence facilitates training, though they can be stubborn, requiring positive reinforcement. Dalmadoodles suit active families and excel in dog sports.
