Back then, when the film was released, the major concern was deafness, not temperament
Dalmatians can be deaf or one-side-hearing. Normaly all puppies are hearing tested, at least breeders within the breeding club HAS to do that...
When a new owner wants a Dalmatian, it's impossible to buy a deaf puppy, at least within the breeding clubs overhere in Europe.
I'm not sure how this was in the USA back then. In the USA it is allowed to breed from dogs which is not allowed to breed from in Europe.
For instance, in Europe a blue eye is a breeding fault, that's in the Breeding Standard. It's no problem though, just an exterior issue, the dog can see very well with it.
For us it's not allowed to breed with dogs with one or two blue eyes.
In the USA they breed Dalmatians with blue eyes...
