Promotional content to attract clients, gain exposure, or conduct market research is prohibited. This includes advertising or linking to your business, website, blog, app, products, professional services, social media, etc. Buying, selling, adopting, or re-homing puppies through the sub is prohibited. Surveys require mod approval. There will be no advertising of dogs for stud - male or female. - Education first!
The purpose of this sub is to educate! Links to reputable websites are welcome and encouraged! Please verify sources and accuracy of information before providing links. - Keep it clean!
Simple. Keep it clean. We want this to be a sub you wouldn't mind a kid running across. Please tag NSFW and link photos for topics that may be disturbing to some viewers. No Profanity or cursing in comments or posts. That includes using asterisks ****** to disguise the words. - Breeding Ethics
This sub recommends the responsible breeding practices listed at https://www.reddit.com/r/dogs/wiki/identifying_a_responsible_breeder/ . It is permissible to discuss whether a particular breeder is meeting the criteria described. Care should be taken to minimize personally identifiable information when discussing. It is not permissible to brigade, harass, threaten, etc... breeders that you feel are not meeting the guidelines. - Whelping and Puppy Care
Once the dog is pregnant and near whelping, the time to argue for gravid spay is over. Comments must provide appropriate advice for whelping/neonate/infant/pediatric puppy care. Comments that simply advocate post weaning spay and do not address the reason for OPs post will be deleted. - Hobbyists are welcome!
HOBBYISTS ARE WELCOME This means that John and Jane Doe with their Pomski that they want to breed for "x reason" are welcome to post here for advice and education. There will be no cruelty or rudeness in addressing hobbyist breeder in comments. Unsure is a breeder is a hobbyist vs BYB, err on the side of hobbyist. The mod team reserves the right to designate breeders as BYB or puppymills. - Policy on BYBs and Puppy Mills
Minimal tolerance policy on BYBs! Those willing to be educated are welcome. Those who are not willing, are not welcome. Puppy Mills are not welcome. Zero Tolerance for verified mills. Please report any suspected BYBs or Puppy Mills to the Moderator team for review. ONLY the moderators may label another contributor and ONLY after careful, unbiased review of the facts. Anyone who is reported will have their chance to defend themselves. Those found to be in violation will be permanently banned. - Professionals LOOK HERE!
If you are a Veterinary or Canine Professional and would like to be recognized as a Verified Professional please message our moderator team. You will need to provide verifiable proof of your profession, and you will be given an appropriate tag to denote your contribution to the Canine Community as a whole. - Moderator Discretion
It is not possible to create rules to cover all circumstances, the mod team may remove any posts or comments for any reason. - No fund-raising
Do not post GoFund Me's or similar attempts to fund-raise.
What the written rules don't show
- Unpublished minimums. Many communities remove posts from new or low-karma accounts through AutoModerator settings that are not on the rules page, often before a moderator sees them.
- Reddit's own filters. Reddit's site-wide spam filters can remove posts from accounts that mostly share links to their own site, in any community.
- The community's norms. Many communities see themselves as peers, not an audience: post where you already take part, and make the post worth reading without the link.
