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.

From The 12 Dutch Dog Breeds, article by Nicole Cosgrove on Hepperdotcom.

Closely related to the German Spitz breeds, the Keeshond features a plush double-layered coat of silver and black fur. Sometimes known as the Dutch Barge Dog, they were the symbol of a patriotic group in the Netherlands around the time of the French Revolution. Recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1930, the Keeshond is a very healthy breed that displays keen intelligence but can be difficult to train effectively.

I'm a samoyed dad myself, but I've always loved keeshond - there's a keeshond at my dog's daycare and whenever they're out together, they look like great alternate color fluffy buddies.

You should post pics to [email protected]. Fluffy pets are awesome.

We have a stabyhoun! (#10 on that list)

Hopefully Lemmy will grow enough to get a staby community going. We're a very proud and vocal bunch.

Maybe you can start a community. That's what a kooikjerhond owner did. I started the dog-a-day to bring more awareness to that specific community. Edit: Kooikerhondje - I never get it right on the first try.

unfortunately I can't find this on kbin using the urls I normally hack together for lemmy instances or in the search. I subscribed to dogs though

[–] blueskiesoc 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you're talking about subscribing to lemmy.world's keeshond page, I couldn't figure it out either.

Here's the stuff from lemmy.world, but damned if I can figure out how to do it on kbin. I have a kbin account too and poked around and came up with nothing.
