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.

People even loved their puppies back then:)

Was it found between the ashes or was it made in Pompeii and left the city before the event?

Found in the ruins. The ash actually buried and preserved a great deal of Pompeii, which is why it was such a monumental archeological find. Even buildings and paintings on walls, and graffiti, have survived!

I just read about the House of The Faun, where it was unearthed. Very interesting.

Yeah, the ash preservation. I remember seeing documentaries as a kid and being haunted by it.
