We're on our second. My husband had a Dal as a kid, and so when we had a chance to rescue a mature one about ten years ago, it seemed right. Well, the Dal we rescued was entirely different from the one who had raised him as a boy. She was big, imperious and seemed to believe she was about the size of a tea-cup toy poodle. She had loads of personality, though, and was impossible not to love -- maybe even worship. When she passed away, I managed to find my husband another little girl Dal -- this one is even worse!!!!! She seems to think she's a Chihuahua! I am black & blue from her attempts to jump in my lap. But again, she's so packed with personality, it's tough to be cross with her. She's our little princess and the apple of daddy's eye. We've taken in a couple dozen rescue dogs over the years and recently took in our first rescue cat. The Dals have been particularly sweet for us as my husband considers himself to have been raised by a Dal -- one his family got just after his dad died. We do think they're overbred -- and for sure they don't look like the Dals of our younger days -- but we can't help but love them. ..JoyfulC.. You take an optimistic approach on Dalmatians!

You are right in talking about the re-infestation. The general rule of thumb is to retreat every three weeks until fleas are gone for up to two months or longer. Then it is only necessary to treat occasionally. Foggers have been reported to be ineffective and dangerous by both the FDA and the CDC.
