A community about dogs.

Breeds, tips and tricks about training and behaviour, news affecting dog owners, canine photography, dog-related art and any questions related to dog ownership.

Rules

  1. Posts must be related to dogs or dog ownership and must not be void of content.
  2. This is a neutral space. No bigotry or personal attacks. Criticism should be polite and constructive.
  3. No automated content. This includes AI generated imagery, post body, articles, comments or automated accounts.
  4. No advertising or self-promotion.
  5. Illegal or unethical practices are frowned upon, and any comments or posts suggesting them will be removed. This includes, but is not limited to, backyard breeding, ear and tail cropping, fake service animals, negative reinforcement, alpha/pack/dominance theory, and eugenics.
  6. No judging or attacking community members who care for dogs with cropped ears, docked tails, or those from puppy mills or questionable sources. While we discourage these practices (per Rule 5), all dogs deserve loving homes and compassionate care regardless of their background or physical alterations.
  7. No breed discrimination, all breeds welcome. Our stance matches the ASPCA's official stance and is not up for debate.
  8. Citing your sources when making a claim is encouraged. Misinformation will be removed.

Meet Soweto, a 72kg Khanghal (anatolian sheppard). Been with him since day one of his life. What a wonderful friend I have the chance to have!

Please enjoy the time you have left him. I had to send my friend over the rainbow about a month ago. God I miss my big goofy girl.

I've two dogs and I've never lost one before. When this time comes, I'm not sure I'll be strong enough. I worry about that sometimes.

Remember one thing. If you have to have one put sleep remember that you are helping them pass one with grace. They don't suffer anymore than they have to.
