JOSHUA SAMPSON Webboard User Reg: 02-22-2010 Posts: 5 Loc: Offline	WOW. I just wanted to announce how glad I am to be here. I am so angry at the GermanShepherds.com website. That site has some Downright mean and unfriendly people on it. I literally decided I am not going there anymore. I tried to post some pics of my Female GSD who is 5 weeks pregnant. My intent was to show some progressive pics in the timeline that would detail the Gestational process. Two of their forum members latched onto my posting and began to defame me for breeding my dog!! They were Harassing, rude, unwelcome, and literally made it such a bad experience for me that I decided to mothball my account and leave it alone. I hope I have a much better experience here!

I tried a couple breed specific sites also -and bailed as you did. There were some knowledgeable people of course -but you kind of had to wade through a lot of postings that just made you roll your eyes if you know what I mean...Leerburg is a cut above -WAAY above -in my opinion, and frankly I don't have time or need for other forums other than here and my rescue blog... WELCOME!

Yup! PS Don't forget to link us to pics rather than embedding them here. Photobucket is a good choice.

There are rarely any conversations, just "I'm reporting my dog has won XYZ" or "my 15 yr old dog has died", "here's a dog in a high kill shelter", that is 95% of the posts. http://s922.photobucket.com/albums/ad67/Grasvaly/

Aaron Myracle Webboard User Reg: 06-06-2008 Posts: 5062 Loc: WA, USA Offline	GermanShepherds.com is pretty much like here. If you're breeding irresponsibly, you're going to get flack for it. As it should be. The breed has suffered enough.

But, Welcome! No, understatement of the century would be: "Gee, those SL GSDs are a little more angulated than the breed used to be." Another would be: "Gee, it might be a good idea to have dogs titled and health tested before breeding." Or: "I wonder if it's a good idea to have hip/elbows checked before a bitch is bred."

Especially when you were just trying to post some pics of my pregnant girl on the internet for people to see Smokey and Duke
