Group Purpose: To provide a forum for discussion of topics strictly relevant to practical canine reproduction and the care of young puppies / litters.

Upon initiating your membership, you will receive a letter that provides detailed guidelines on how to proceed on this forum. We respectfully request that you periodically familiarize yourself with the content of this letter. This letter will also be posted in our group File section and may be viewed at any time. You will be expected to adhere to list rules as set forth in this document.

Highlights Of Membership Letter:
* Please be respectful in all list communications.
* Do not take it upon yourself to attempt to put another list member “in line”.
* Posting an “Off Topic” e-mail with an apology for doing so and asking to be addressed privately is unacceptable. For “Off Topic” canine discussion, visit our sister list, Canine Central.
* All posts must be sufficiently trimmed.
* Ensure subject lines contain pertinent data to the content of each post.
* Each post to the list is to include signature, providing poster’s name, chosen breed and area of residence.
* Before responding to a post, please give an honest attempt to reading all previous posted dialogue shared on any particular thread to decrease redundant replies.
* Do Not solicit ANYTHING on this forum without express permission from list owners / moderators.
* The list moderators of this forum are volunteering their time, to “keep the peace” on this list. Please do not shoot the messenger.
* Member advice does not substitute licensed veterinarian’s care. Please consult a veterinarian when in doubt of how to proceed with your canine(s). Addressing the urgent care issues with this forum should not be the priority. No list member, moderator or owner can be held responsible, in any way, for the care you elect to provide your canine(s), nor its ultimate outcome.
