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.

whelp.
you know who the favorite is.
Well guess I gotta buy 5 dogs!
Rip your wallet.
You have to buy Dogs?
How else would you get one?
Adopting Street Dogs? I guess.
If you haven't dropped the /s, I would suggest "at a shelter", for instance.
Those cost as much or more than the breeders now. Still recommended, but not cheap or free. I just look at it as a donation for them to keep saving lives. Our most recent was found on the side of the road in a pillow case.
She's doing much better now. 
You can get them for free where I live
Every pet I have owned has been a rescue and they each cost me around $60-$200, including various amounts of vet things like vaccinations
I still had to pay a fee when I adopted mine. It wasn't much, but I still considered it "buying" my dog.
Agh, hit right in the allergies.
Step one, take antihistamines and wait for them to work.
Step two, enter the fur pit.
I need this.
A 3 dog night & a 5 dog day.
They knew the risks.
WTB victimhood.
Amateur hour.
Needs to be at least a dozen dogs to really count.
