Dog forums

[KenyiGirl]

what other dog forums do you guys visit? Are there any that you absolutely would not recomend?

 

[Bahamutt99]

I think different people get different things from different forums. Me personally, this is the only all-breed forum I'm on. I used to be on the Dog Fancy board many years ago, but don't know enough about the modern-day incarnation -- if there even is one -- to say whether I'd recommend it or not. Personally, the one all-breed forum that I wouldn't recommend is the Petfinder forum. I was on there for a while and had to leave. Too many extreme viewpoints -- neuter everything, outlaw tethering, the dog sports and registries are evil, etc -- and you don't know who the moderating team is so there's no accountability when people get their posts pulled for no reason. My first account there got banned because I made a post informing people of their rights when animal control comes knocking on the door. Now that's scary.

I visit dogforum.org, the victoria stilwell forum, ours dogs online, gocorgi.com, and mod dogforums.com. I love all the forums I visit.

I used to visit the dog.com forum (formerly i-dog) for a long time, but then they changed and sold out and got all cold and corporate, so I left.

I'm mainly on this one and dogforums, though this one is a lot 'smaller' feeling. I don't know if it is, but dogforums gets crazy sometimes. It's funny though, viewpoints are very different between the two on certain issues. I post pictures on the forum formerly known as idog and talk to a few people on there too.


Also, I lurk the BC boards a bit, and post occasionally on mighty might (a small breed sports dog forum)

Chaz has always been my favorite.

ETA: Baha, you got me curious about the Petfinder forums now, LOL!

 

[iwantmypup]

I am mainly on Chaz and Dogforums.com.

I visit a few others but those are my main forums.

I go to a breed specific forum also that I love but it moves way too quick for me... What I like here is that if I cant get on one day I can still catch up pretty quick but with that forum it is impossible. There are also smaller "cliques" there... not in a bad way its just that there are way too many people to know them all so people form smaller groups of friends. I usually just go there now to ask specific questions that people here cant answer.

 

[Squishy22]

Chaz is my number one for sure. No other forum is as quite as active as this one, and I love that about chaz. Most are a little... dead.

I've been a part of a couple pit bull forums. I pretty much got bored with them for some reason. Once in a great while I will lurk and something will catch my attention and I will make a post.

I've been lurking on a couple chihuahua forums as well.

 

[DogstarAcademy]

I'm on dogforums but I get cranky with it occasionally (as anyone who talks to me on my instant messagers knows- all boards are cliquey to some extent but when the mods play along, it's obnoxious.)

I post occasionally on mighty mites (primarily about Lizzie), and I'm on Corgi-L and a few LJ-based dog communities. I'm also on i-dog/dog.com, which I still kinda like, despite the awful new interface. And furkids.net, which is pretty dead (and has developed into a pretty stagnant site) is still fun for nostalgic reasons.

Yeah, it's a curiosity, all right.

 

[Tankstar]

Pro dog grooming forum and here are my main ones.

I am also on dogforums, dog.com,

Im registerd to others, but dont even visit them as they are pretty much dead.

 

[planet molosser]

Sorry nothing better than Chaz and I own my own Forum I come here for answers and normal people.

 

[kaponte]

I tend to visit globalpaw.com but love, like some say here, the "small-yet-big" atmosphere of chaz.

 

[Danegirl2208]

Chaz and pets-n-people.net are really the only all-breed/pet forums I post regularly on.

I post on a couple pit bull forums as well, and "for the love of danes" (a dane forum- obviously)

 

[lizzybeth727]

Chaz is the only one I'm on at the time, I really think it's healthiest to have only one obsession.

Before I came here, though, I also was on seefido.com, which I would not recommend. Very few of the "regulars" there agree with clicker training or really ANY positive reinforcement training, and they get very upset when you suggest it. I got banned from that forum but continued lurking for a while until I decided it was not worth the stress.

 

[PWCorgi]

Chaz is my main place!

I also visit Cool2BCorgi daily and MightyMites every once in a while.

 

[Island dog]

I'm also on dogforums and pop back and forth. Wonder how many of us are on both? My posts tend to get deleted on dogforums and a number of people have left negative remarks saying I was rude. I know that is absolutely impossible as I'm a Canadian and we simply cannot be rude - it's in the genes eh?

 

[Laurelin]

Come on now... you have a doodle and thus must be pure evil there as far as they're concerned.

 

[Punkygirl0101]

I post a lot on Globalpaw, its died down quite a bit though, not a lot of veteran members left.

I used to post several times a day on PetsHub (An all animal forum) but that forum is a baron wasteland now, only about 10 members, probably not even. And a few of those members don't like me cause I don't sugarcoat everything. But I still post there occasionally.

I am also a member of a dachshund forum, but I mainly lurk and post pics there.

And Goosemoose.com, my favorite rat forum and the only one I am on actually.

I have registered with a bunch of other forums, introduced myself and that was it! Don't have time to post on those, just stick with Chaz, Goosemoose, and Globalpaw.

I enjoy watching dogs in action, especially good work of a hunting dog, or a team work of several dogs. Therefore, I often visit forums about hunting breeds. Some of them are very interesting. Dogs used for physically demanding work are very happy and they share their enthusiasm with their owners; not just consumptive hunting, but rahter a dog watching during hunting. For example, hare hunting with sighthounds or coyote hunting with staghounds and longdogs. I like jargon of hunters and their discussions of the dogs and their performance. I know there are forums dedicated to herding, sledding or livestock guarding dogs. I like the latter ones very much. They work independently and learn on the job. A livestock protecting dog team is capable of organizing their work by themselves; they are very intelligent and remarkably fit and healthy dogs.

I am also on dogforums.. but I think Im going to hang out here for a bit..

Dogstar is right, very very clicky.
