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.

What?!? Impossible. Spider with balls.

Someone didn't assemble him correctly

Dög in Swedish means "sufficed" or "good enough", so while the assembly might not be correct, it's good enough.

I was wondering if it will mean something in some other language. Mission accomplished!

Nice! One learns something new every day.

For the linguistics nerds, "dög" is past tense of "duga."
Det får duga - It will have to do.
Det duger - It is good enough.
Det dög - It was sufficient.

Definitely beats Hungarian dög (carrion/carcass).

This is what happens if you use WinRar without a licence :)

Sometimes you just need a little air cooling and aren't too picky about how you get it.

Please spay and neuter your pets.

I've never had a dog but I would assume it's not so relevant with them since they go out only on a leash, right?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Some assembly required.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Where the heck is its head? 😳

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

There is no head… only balls. (Just kidding, it’s under the front legs if you look carefully)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What? How? What happened to his neck? O_o
