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.

That's adorable! Does he rest his snoot on his ball regularly? I'd feed him waay too many treats

He's a big "no take only throw" kinda boy. But he sits like this and makes you feel bad for not throwing.

I think that for these type of dogs, the 'game' is not letting you get the ball. That face is saying "go on... Go on, try and take it!"

Effective emotional manipulation indeed

Aww I love him! Those ears! The smile!

Gorgeous! I might be biased because he looks like my dog but with slightly different colouring.

A good photo too, looks like you caught him in a moment of calm, but I can imagine the chaos once the ball is thrown.
