All about dogs - dog breeds, dog training and behavior, news affecting dog owners or handlers, puppy pics, etc.

Rules (Will be refined later on).

  1. 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.

  2. No personal attacks based on training style or tools.
    Discussion of balanced training including proper use of aversives is allowed here.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

All dogs are lap dogs! My Great Dane was the best couch cuddler.

Never ceases to amaze me how huge they are! Just look at your hand in comparison to that noggin!

I love how he is sitting!

He was a lapdog! Big dogs just have to be more creative about it than small ones.

I have a lapdog over twice that size. He get his head an shoulders onto my lap and we're both happy.

He's up on that chair just like any little dog would be! Mission accomplished.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Jake looks like the perfect lap buddy.
