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.

i still would prefer this to what my disgusting little runt did on new years eve...on a walk in the woods in the late afternoon...he found himself a roe deer cadaver...really rotten and gooey...which he rolled himself in and made sure to cover the whole body with the mess...and he was so proud

We once had a German Shepherd mix. She loved disgusting smells. The more repulsing, the better. She was a fox shit radar and we were too slow most of the time..

...with long fur too make it easier to clean out...

Have you ever seen those pigs with curly hair? We were already wondering if one of them was her father.. the thick undercoat was horrible to wash and off course she didn't like getting baths 🙃

Oogh, hope you called home and told them to lock the dog door before you came back

i am not sure the smell ever will come out...but 2 hours washing...that day...and he is a fairly large dog weighing in at 45 kg and is not that happy around the bathtub...imagine the struggle...
