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.
Bully XLs killed loads of folk in the UK, often unprovoked. It got to the point where the breed got banned. While ownership plays a part, they were disproportionately represented in fatal incidents.
The amount of owners who were shock because their dog was a kind spirit that wouldn't hurt a sole, then one day snapped and kid was dead.
Once again, this is a pit bull. You can tell because of the way it is. Notice that it looks like a velvet hippo with a dumb frog face and is on a couch. 100% pit bull.
