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.

Not my dog, but I would pet the heck out of it if it were.

You mean you groom the heck out of it, right? That sort of coat probably matts if you look at it too hard.

All the joy of looking at it and none of the work. Not my dog, but I saw it and thought others would like it too.

My issue with my dogs was shedding. I only really needed to brush them during shedding season, but bah gawd. A husky seems to shed a complete version of itself every year even when they are indoor dogs and don't grow a full winter coat.
