Dogs
All about dogs - dog breeds, dog training and behavior, news affecting dog owners or handlers, puppy pics, etc.
Rules (Will be refined later on).
-
Don't be a dick. This should cover most things, just keep in mind that everyone started somewhere and try to be helpful rather than rude or judgmental.
-
No personal attacks based on training style or tools.
Discussion of balanced training including proper use of aversives is allowed here. -
All breeds and mixes are welcome. You can criticize backyard breeding practices but don't pile on people because they own a specific breed or prefer purebreds or mixed breeds.
-
Do not support backyard breeders or puppy mills. Please do not link to or suggest buying from high volume breeders or those with an obvious lack of standards and testing.
-
Do not help or support fake service animals. Please do not encourage people to buy fake service dog vest or ESA letters to get around rental or other restrictions & do not give advice on how to misrepresent a dog as a service or support animal.

Your very first line, followed by the block of text with no paragraph breaks, make it sound like you're telling everyone your dog has rabies (the actual disease, not the vaccine for rabies).
Just a FYI, but might explain your downvotes if people didn't read further than "rabies".
I did my part and auto-downvote walls of text.
thanks. I tend to write casually so will write in context which is really bad for the internet as folks do tend to read or even only see some of the pieces. Im pretty sure this has caused a bunch of back and forths I have had where I keep on saying you are taking this one part and not looking at the whole converstaion. I love the federation but I have seen how often I can only see a subset of various areas. Ended up making a bunch of duplicate posts to one magazine because I could not see the posts I just had made. Later I saw them when logged out.
