Dogs

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.

This is so ancient that chihuahua probably passed away of old age

False! That Chihuahua is immortal.

Yeah... I'm usually on team "dogs are perfect and eternal" but my experiences have prejudiced me that chihuahuas are some kind of fake dog

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Other people's Chihuahuas are awful little demons. I hated Chihuahuas most of my life. Then my wife adopted one. They're something special, man. They're the cutest, funniest, most loving little creatures with their people. They're just too nervous to be their authentic selves around strangers, and most people don't do the required socialization that all dogs need with small dogs.

Honestly that's close enough to who I am as a person to be deeply uncomfortable

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Sounds like you found your spirit animal.

Tell nobody

Or I will bite you

Yes, lesser demons are technically still demons and thus immortal.
