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.

Icelandic sheepdogs would be a hard breed to rescue I imagine. Not popular over here at all.
Sounds like the perfect dog for the average suburban American that never walks or steps foot near a farm. Give me 2, preferably from an ethical, organic, free-range, non-GMO, grain-free, non-allergenic breeder. The only way to get a suitable well-behaved sheep dog for my 1-bedroom luxury apartment is by furthering the cruelty of those in shelters. It simply must be done that way, to fulfill my satisfaction. /s
First link on Google has two Icelandic Sheepdogs ready for adoption. That link is not even one of the big nationwide rescue sites:
