All about dogs - dog breeds, dog training and behavior, news affecting dog owners or handlers, puppy pics, etc.

Rules (Will be refined later on).

  1. 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.

  2. No personal attacks based on training style or tools.
    Discussion of balanced training including proper use of aversives is allowed here.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

Cute! We had an eskie. Best, smartest, funniest dog ever! He would growl if you winked at him. But that fur was everywhere!

Only in the sense that some people call pets that live together siblings heh.

My mom's friend had Eddie (big one on the left) first, and then after him reaching adulthood with undiminished puppy energy, she got Murphy so he'd have someone to play with.

It totally worked! They love playing together and he's much less rambunctious outside of playtime lol.

PS: I took the pic while walking Eddie and Murphy's good friend, my mom's Walther:

Very cute! I was wondering if they were both from the same litter and named the same time cuz of the Eddie Murphy reference(if their names are even a reference to stand up comedian)

Cutter puppers regardless!

I don't know if Eddie was originally a reference to Eddie Murphy, but naming the puppy Murphy was 100% 😁
