For someone 13? No dog. Its your parents responsibility. They pay for it and legally own it. You are likely living in their house so their rules. Its not just your dog and how in the world will you have time and energy to take care of a dog with school and other activites??? Neither of these breeds are low energy or dogs for a young kid to be a primary care taker of. Affectionate is basically all dogs. You need to ask the rest of your family and then vastly expand your criteria based on shedding/grooming, activity level, your lifestyle/house/yard, and your previous dog training/owning experience.

They do not like to just sit around all day with nothing to do. They are playful, happy-go-lucky, sensitive and loyal. The Dalmatian needs a lot of leadership along with human companionship in order to be happy. For this reason they do not make good yard dogs. The Dalmatian enjoys playing with children, but if they do not receive enough mental and physical exercise they may become too rambunctious for toddlers. They get along well with other pets, but without proper human to dog alpha communication where the human clearly tells the dog that he is not in charge and fighting is an unwanted behavior, they may become aggressive with strange dogs. Without enough exercise and mental stimulation, they will become high-strung, and can be timid without enough socialization. Quite intelligent, but can be willful if they sense their owners are in the slightest bit meek or passive, and or if the owner is not properly communicating with the dog. Generally does well with firm, consistent training. The Dalmatian is trainable to a high degree of obedience. They can be trained for defense and are good watchdogs. Dalmatians often have large litters, sometimes up to 15 pups. Fifty percent of people who adopt a Dalmatian puppy do not keep them past the first year. Young Dalmatians are very energetic, and need a lot of leadership and exercise. If you do not give them what they instinctually need, daily walks where the dog is made to heel beside or behind the human, never in front of the person holding the lead, and very stern, but not harsh leadership they will make a wonderful pet and will calm down after a few years. People who keep them long enough to get past their active stage tend to be very pleased. If you are thinking about adopting a Dalmatian puppy be sure you have the time, are authority driven and have the energy for them. If you cannot provide this for them they will become very high strung, hard to manage and destructive. If you are a very active person who has the time, and knows what it means to be a pack leader then a Dalmatian may be right for you. lol i know it is long Dalmatian::

Dalmatians will cost more to take care of because of their size and vulnerability to illnesses. Dalmatians are very loyal and loving and stuff like that, but they don't live for a very long time. They are prone to many illnesses such as cancer, arthritis, and hip displasia, which can be costly to treat. Vizslas don't have any medical problems in particular. Dalmatians can be high-energy dogs, so be prepared for that, vizslas have an average energy level. Dalmatian are also not the sharpest tools on the shed, because many of them are inbred.
