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.

Thanks.
I think if I ever get a dog, this would be it. But I say that every other day about all kind of dogs.
That's what a dog does to you
I think it's worth thinking about why this dog looks perfect to you. Is it the size? The cuddleability? The cleverness? There's many breeds out there and you're sure to find one that meets your expectations. The most important thing is to be sure that you have the time to take care of it. Walks at least 2x per day and playtime regardless of how rough your workday was. That can be rough for some people and a no brainer for others.
Oh I‘m very aware of this and that’s the reason we have no dog yet. If we ever get one we will make sure that we habe eough resources for it.
That kind of consideration means you'll be a great dog parent. Don't be too scared going into it - it seems like you'll figure it out just fine.
