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.

Also, this is what Mark Zuckerberg would look like if he was a real person. Then there's that lizard on the left...

Cropped ears = asshole owner/breeder.

So sad that they still crop their ears. Poor guy.

[–] moody@lemmings.world 8 points 15 hours ago

Also their tail, typically. It's pretty barbaric.

"Hurry up and take the pic before I pass out, you realize how much energy it takes to hold this giant noggin up? I need a nap"

Haha, what a giant. When he lays his head on you, you're going nowhere.

And now imagine he starts drooling while he's up there :D

My friend has two Cane Corsos and they both bite 😂. Beautiful dogs and very loyal, but don't bring unacquainted kids/adults around them, also don't crop their ears, it's fucked up.

That's not a horse, thats a dog.

Nah, mastiffs are more bear than horse. Great Danes are horses.

Man, I wish I had a dog that I could tackle without breaking it.

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 5 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Don't worry, he only eats 3 toddlers a day.

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 6 points 20 hours ago

That seems low.

You have a Frank Miller era Batman in your house.

My niece got an immense dog Mila, she is the sweetest dog I have ever met. She’s very fond of massages and scratches and will put up a face like pictured waiting for the pets to commence.

The drool and slobbers though…damn.
