Instead of trying to pick a breed, go to the local rescue or humane office and meet the dogs who need the love you have to give. You'll find one that feels right to you.
Meanwhile go to google and search for
Shitzu breed traits
Scottish Terrier breed traits
Dalmation breed traits
This kind of search gives you websites that will tell you about the personalities of these breeds and will help you evaluate them in the way you NEED to evaluate them. It's like a marriage... if you marry only for looks, you may well get divorced. If you marry for personality and interests, you're much more likely to stay together
Same with your dog... you need to know personality, interests and activity level...

I'd go with the Scottish Terrier. They're small and cute dogs. Not too interbred, so they don't have the problems with their bones and mouths that the Shih Tzus have. And the Scottish Terrier will live for up to 20 years, whereas the Dalmation will only last about 12 years.

You might think of getting a rescue dog, if you don't want to pay the outrageous prices of a pure-bred from a breeder.

Shitzu are the most overrated dog out here. It sounds like you picking your breeds based on looks..please research all breeds based on temperement and activity level!

no on the dalmatian. Beautiful dog AWFUL with kids. Do I know this from experience? No. But I have heard over the years that they are awful with children. This of course is hearsay and requires research from you.
Scotties are good with kids.
