12. Dalmadoodle

The Dalmadoodle, or Dalmapoo, merges Dalmatian dash with Poodle wit. Spotted and clever, it guards and bonds closely. Wary bark at strangers shifts to warmth with training. Coats may show bold spots or curly waves. Medium to large, it needs brisk exercise and brain games. Smart yet stubborn streaks yield to upbeat, reward based methods.
