This is not a sleepy pose. This is getting ready to go crazy.
What breed is that? It looks almost exactly like my dog!
She's a mix and a rescue that was found stray near Cumberland MD. She has a personality and a lot of the look of an Australian shepherd but those are a pretty wide ranging category too.
Makes sense, mine is a sheltie but is constantly mistaken for an Aussie
Love that fluffy belly
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.
