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.

Here’s my potato mutt. Her name is Xion!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Is she named after the Kingdom Hearts character? She's absolutely adorable

[–] flames5123 4 points 3 days ago

You got it! Her best friend’s name was Roxas so we only saw it fitting to name her Xion.

Thanks! She knows how cute she is and uses her cuteness to get whatever she wants.

[–] ickplant 3 points 3 days ago

She is adorable!

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 days ago

She's p sure she's built for guarding and herding the cats

He's pretty angry indeed (that I'm taking a picture instead of snuggling him)

I give my dog a treat. She drops some on the ground. I point at it and say "What's this?" She sniffs every part of the ground around my hand. I pick up the piece of treat and hold it under her nose. "What's this?!" She frantically sniffs around my wrist. She never finds the leftover treat bits.

Potate.

[–] ickplant 4 points 3 days ago

Aww, sweet girl, she is treat-challenged.

I have a potato.

He loves to do trust falls. You have to be ready to catch this potato at a moments notice.

[–] Linnce 7 points 3 days ago (4 children)

Mine loves to lay down like that too

A small yellow haired dog stretched out on a couch, looking really comfy

We've had this little goober for exactly a week, and I would fucking die for her.

Fat cat laying on it's side/back with paws in the air

A potato is a potato, regardless of animal type.

He loves belly rubs, clamours for attention just like a dog. He's basically a dog.

Legitimately looks like a potato with a cute face.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Puggle? The smartest potato that will enter your life. So adorable

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

He's a Chug (chihuahua x pug). He's a very sweet boy, but not all that smart!

Mine was made to bite my mother-in-law and my daughter's boyfriend. I wish I didn't like those people because then it might have been kind of cool
