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.

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

Originally developed for luring ducks out of hiding and into range of waiting riflemen, the “small cager dog” has also appeared in famous paintings by Rembrandt. A small dog in the spaniel group, the Kooikerhondje is a cheerful and good-natured breed that is often seen to be well-behaved even without training. They are rapidly gaining popularity in the United States thanks to their affable personality.
