A community about dogs.

Breeds, tips and tricks about training and behaviour, news affecting dog owners, canine photography, dog-related art and any questions related to dog ownership.

Rules

  1. Posts must be related to dogs or dog ownership and must not be void of content.
  2. This is a neutral space. No bigotry or personal attacks. Criticism should be polite and constructive.
  3. No automated content. This includes AI generated imagery, post body, articles, comments or automated accounts.
  4. No advertising or self-promotion.
  5. Illegal or unethical practices are frowned upon, and any comments or posts suggesting them will be removed. This includes, but is not limited to, backyard breeding, ear and tail cropping, fake service animals, negative reinforcement, alpha/pack/dominance theory, and eugenics.
  6. No judging or attacking community members who care for dogs with cropped ears, docked tails, or those from puppy mills or questionable sources. While we discourage these practices (per Rule 5), all dogs deserve loving homes and compassionate care regardless of their background or physical alterations.
  7. No breed discrimination, all breeds welcome. Our stance matches the ASPCA's official stance and is not up for debate.
  8. Citing your sources when making a claim is encouraged. Misinformation will be removed.

Ignorant ass. I'm calling out idiocy when I see it from now on. You're blocked for me dawg.

Yeah, that's a block for me too. Anyone that susceptible to easily disproven propaganda has nothing meaningful to contribute.

Remember when it was rottweilers everyone was bitching about? Still got rottweilers all over the place but nobody says anything now that we got a new breed to kick around.

I remember before rottweilers, when it was dobermans

They just pick whatever breed is most popular with POC and demonize it.

I do remember people using DMX's album covers where he had his rottie a lot in the propaganda.

It's Trump levels of stupid, too. Some people just really want to hate and fear things.

Lemme guess, this was about pitbulls? Seems the new mod is a defender of murder"puppies" since they warned me about providing facts when talking about them.

https://www.dogsbite.org/dog-bite-statistics-quick-statistics.php

"The probability of a bite resulting in a complex wound was 4.4 times higher for pit bulls compared with the other top-biting breeds ... and the odds of an off-property attack by a pit bull was 2.7 times greater."

"The most commonly identified breed was the pit bull ... Pit bulls were also the most commonly identified breed involved in major injuries."

"Unlike all other breeds, pit bull terriers were relatively more likely to attack an unknown individual (+31%), and without provocation (+48%)."
