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).
-
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.
-
No personal attacks based on training style or tools.
Discussion of balanced training including proper use of aversives is allowed here. -
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.
-
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.
-
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.

Jobs are not the same as races. Your job is a choice and if it was a bad one you could choose a better one.
I'm hopeful that isn't true. I'm also hopeful that people will stop killing our planet and stop eating animals, too. I don't think 'no more breeders' is harder than those goals.
I'm sorry, activists intentionally spreading misinformation to benefit backyard breeders now has something to do with race?
This is appalling.
Sorry I didn't take the time to quote.
You said:
Which is why I said that dog breeders are a profession, not something immutable like race.
I'm happy to level blanket generalizations at cops, too, in case you were wondering.
