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.

whelp.
you know who the favorite is.
Well guess I gotta buy 5 dogs!
You have to buy Dogs?
How else would you get one?
Adopting Street Dogs? I guess.
If you haven't dropped the /s, I would suggest "at a shelter", for instance.
Those cost as much or more than the breeders now. Still recommended, but not cheap or free. I just look at it as a donation for them to keep saving lives. Our most recent was found on the side of the road in a pillow case.
She's doing much better now. 
You can get them for free where I live
Every pet I have owned has been a rescue and they each cost me around $60-$200, including various amounts of vet things like vaccinations
I still had to pay a fee when I adopted mine. It wasn't much, but I still considered it "buying" my dog.
Rip your wallet.
Agh, hit right in the allergies.
Step one, take antihistamines and wait for them to work.
Step two, enter the fur pit.
I need this.
A 3 dog night & a 5 dog day.
They knew the risks.
Amateur hour.
Needs to be at least a dozen dogs to really count.
WTB victimhood.
