Which do you tend to prefer, breed-specific groups/ forums, or general groups/forums, and why?

THIS FORUM!!! LOL

No really!! This is the ONE that I am on ALL THE TIME.....I mean I go on the others and bug people about Just DOING IT...and how they are wrong about Border Collies being CRRRAZZZZY.....but THIS ONE.....THIS ONE Im friends with ya'll and I like most of ya'll quite well!

I tend to prefer general forums more than breed specific ones as well. All three of my breeds of choice (Boxers, Great Danes, and Pembroke Welsh Corgis) have too many heated topics involved such as tail docking and ear cropping and those debated turn nasty, quick.
I also find that for Boxer and Dane forums in particular, they are obsessed with dog showing, and really place non show dogs and non show members as second rank citizens. It's REALLY annoying. I would NOT be welcome on a particular dane forum because of my pack of "mismarked" dogs.
Plus, nutrition is my main interest with canines, and I cringe at the advice on other forums.

DFC is my home on the web! That's for sure.
PLUS, y'all don't SUCK so that helps.

THIS as well!!!! I cant go to the BC forum very often....as people mostly either feed CRAP or "raw"...meaning a little bit of meat/bone and a TON of veggies and fruit!!!GAAAAAAA!!! (HOWEVER...when we have the stack down perfectly I AM going to post my boys in the "this is what a healthy BC looks like" thread on one of them!LOL)

PLUS, y'all don't SUCK so that helps.

And this....that would be my main reason for sticking around here!HAHAHA

I don't mind the Bull Terrier Yahoo groups forum, but it is a monitored group, so if you ask a question it has to be approved first. They all mostly feed raw, no veggies, and they don't talk too much about showing, but this group is so much more diverse, fun and homey.

The baseline for most, if not all breeds are the same. I'm not locked into a specific breed, I just love dogs and we have 3 different types, an old english bulldog, an american bulldog and a beagle/cocker. Generic forums are, to me, far more useful. There are occasions where I can imagine a breed specific forum is good but normally you have people in a generic forum who can point you to a thread on a breed specific forum if necessary.

Unless your the only active member with your breed!!

(Naa....I didnt mind being the only BC Mommi...I rather like it in fact!LOL But now that Deb is here off and on its fun too!)

The Bull Terrier groups that i'm a part of, and the specific BT forums are very... Elitist... such as bloodline quality, body shape, "head shape" gets a lot of heated debates going.... people like myself that prefer the more terrier body shape and demeanor get flamed because it's not the SHOW look... even though we have no intentions on showing.

I chose the general forum, mainly because this is the only dog forum I frequent haha I really like it hear, and I love reading about the other breeds (though it is hazardous... I am now dying to have a great dane haha)

You must stop going there and causing trouble, David! Lol I never enjoyed those two groups that I found, too much show talk!
