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.

He's either violating the laws of physics or he has a clone that lives on the other side of town.

My dog Charlie this morning for reference purposes:

Being a failed clone that was rejected from a science lab does explain why he is extremely stupid.

Yo that’s clearly Charlie’s long lost brother.

Could be from the same breeder? I've heard people tell me their dog met it's long lost sibling in the same city since people tend to buy dogs from local breeders.

He's a mutt, so definitely not from a breeder, but they could be siblings.

Awwww Charlie is the sweetest cloud of quantum probabilities in the world ❤️ I am sending pets and scritches!

Considering the possibility of quantum entanglement, you will have to do it with some very long arms, but I know he will appreciate it nonetheless. And then start scratching at you if you stop. Ever.

the greatest warrior of the modern age

No, that would be his housemate.

She recently graduated from murdering small animals to trying to murder an old lady. She had a dog with her, but was talking with a neighbor and not paying attention as we walked by. My dog lunged at hers, her dog lunged back and pulled her down into the street and onto her back. She blamed her own dog, but we all know where the real blame lies.

Where the real blame lies:

After what you told me, I'll see that face every time I close my eyes.
