hi my dalmation is also agressive to other dogs, she is almost 3 years old and we have had her about 7months now. when we first got her she was only aggressive on the lead and played fine with other dogs off the lead, we sorted this out after approx 2 months of introducing her to other dogs whilst on the lead at nose touching distance (with other dog owners permision), and she was fine for a good while, but then whilst out for a walk and on the lead she got attacked by another dog and now she is worse than ever, being aggressive on and off the lead now.
last owners only toilet trained her. kept her in a small back yard with no walks. gave no socialization. gave her little to no attention ( she is a huge attention seeker with us).
so now whwn out for a walk, if i have her off the lead and see another dog i have to catch her and keep her away from the other dog or she will lunge at it.
she is also affraid of large stoky men too.
i have another post up too as she is having a phantom pregnancy ( the second one ), she was just starting one when we got her too

If her aggression is linked with her seasons, I'd have her spayed. You say you've had her for 7 months - is she a rescue? On your other thread you mention breeding from her.
Please don't! Her temperament is entirely wrong for breeding from, not to mention the specialist health tests needed. Only KC registered dogs, who've been independently assessed as being close to the breed standard (physically
and temperamentally) who've passed specific tests to minimise the risk of passing on hereditary conditions, should be bred from.

i'd already decided not to breed from her.
and no her agression is not based around her seasons.
as i said in my post we had her from a family who should not of had her in the first place.
when i collected pasha from them they openly told me that they could not be bothered walking her from day one and she had never met another dog n the 2 and a half years they had her apart from the ex husbands dog once, and she ended up pregnant by him at age 2.
and never met anther dog after that.
she had nervous agression on lead when we first got her but she was fine off the lead.
we over came that.
then whilst on the lead a few months on, she was attaked by another dog.
this set her back to how she was when we got her, but she also become aggressive off lead too, which she wasnt before.
also when we first got her she was affraid of big men, and still is, she tryes to hide from them and shakes, so dont know what happened to her before we had her.
so from what i know af her through living with her and from what last owners told me, the aggression is becouse of bad times she has been through and not becouse of who she is.
also before every ting came to light she was tested to see if she should be breed from, and the answer was, yes she could, but due to the aggression that soon appered i decided not too and she will be getting spayed soon
