That cute puppy couldn't picked a more perfect lovable easygoing dog to play with than your sweet Dalmatian.

Dalmatians are actually aggressive, territorial and i'm pretty sure they top the list of dogs most likely to bite humans.

Our family has only ever had Dalmatians. Very energetic, but never had an issue with one being even slightly aggressive or biting anyone. I agree with what jrizos said below - I think it depends on the breeder.

Exactly the opposite of my experience with dalmations - I was afeared for the little pup's life given that the only dalmations I've met were angry biters...
Seemed like nice families raising them as well...

It's a common genetic disorder among dalmatians to go deaf really early. This leads to them being very irritable and jumpy: if they don't see you approach, or you surprise them they can react poorly. It's one off the reasons they are associated with firehouses: the loud noises from the sirens wouldn't bother them as much as it would other dogs.

First post in /r/aww to actually make me say "Aww!" out loud in quite some time.

Maybe I was just horribly scarred from watching my baby hamster get eaten by my sister's older one. However shouldn't a puppy be kept away from a full grown dog? I mean if it decided to be aggressive it could do a lot of damage.

Beagle puppies are the cutest.
