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.

Probably thinks you can't take care of yourself when super pupper isn't around. It's like when a grandma force feeds you when you go to visit.

German shepherds love to carry random stuff, I know one that brings huge rocks inside the house.

My family always had German shepherds growing up. One of them that we had when I was a little kid used to bring big rocks in the house all the time. She chewed on them like bones. I don't know how she still had teeth when she got old.

Adorable! My Luna Bear does this. Usually a toy, but sometimes a sock or bottle. We think she is part Golden Lab and part German Shepherd

Same with my Molly. Border collie/beagle mix, when she spots anyone come inside she runs to grab either a toy or a shoe and growls while dancing around.

I love it. If you don't pay immediate attention to Luna she will start talking. I can't even describe the noises she makes

Will this gift be the one that convinces you not to leave me next time? Are the gifts not good enough or am I not good enough for you?

If mine brings you one of her toys she wants food. My wife calls them trading tokens when she does that.
