FWIW, a purebred dalmation will be placed very quickly at the Humane
Society. The other heeler type probably has a good chance if he's a
nice dog.

I forgot to mention learning more about their breeding yesterday. The
females mother was a purebred dalmation, the father a heeler. The second dog
is part chow - small, brown, cute as a button, and terribly sweet.
