Lots of work trying to keep small plants alive during the winter. We collect about 8-10,000 seeds each year and plant about 1200 seedlings in the ground each year. I sprout them on about April 1st and plant the resulting plants in the ground about May 10th. I have planted many randomly collected seeds over the years and the percentage of nice plants(by my definition of nice that may be different from yours) is very low compared to seeds collected from controlled pollination. But having said that, I am absolutely sure you will enjoy your seedlings.

These seeds will of course produce plants that will flower. Because dahlias are octaploid,, they have a tremendous amount of genetic diversity and therefore do not "breed true". In other words, the plants will not necessarily look like the one that produced the seeds. Most dahlia growers propagate plants from the tuberous roots called tubers. Since these tubers have the same genetic make up as the plant that produced them, the plants will be identical. These cultivars are named and sold as tubers. Usually, the breeder of these cultivars has grown many hundreds of plants over several generations to produce one of the named varieties. The named varieties are nearly always much better than the plants grown from random seeds as is demonstrated here.
