Forum Rules

This forum is a place where people who love Shih Tzu can gather together to chat and discuss the breed, share experiences and offer advice.

Please remember that this is not a medical site and any advice offered is not in any way meant to replace the diagnosis or treatment provided by a vet. If you are ever in any way worried about the health of your animal you should seek the advice of a vet immediately.

Our number 1 rule here is RESPECT!

• Please refrain from posting judgmental or hurtful topics or replies.
  
• Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and ways of doing things.
  
• Try not to post anything you would not like to read about yourself.
  
• This forum is for people who want to discuss the breed which owns and loves them.
  
• Let's keep it a friendly place where newcomers to the breed can get the advice they need without feeling uncomfortable.

2. Language

• Please refrain from using abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene,
  threatening, offensive, and racist comments.
  
• We reserve the right to deny access to this forum to anyone who violates these rules.

• If for any reason you find you may not agree with someone or something, please use constructive criticism.
  
• Even though we respect the right to difference of opinions we ask that you, please, refrain from personal attacks.
  
• However, if any member is found to be harassing or threatening other members within a thread or through our private messaging service then we reserve the right to restrict access to the forum to that member. Membership will be revoked and IP and email addresses banned.

6. Copyright and Other Issues

• Whilst Google is a wonderful thing, it is not permitted to copy and paste other peoples' advice and opinions as your own.
  
• Anyone found plagiarising in this way will be denied
  access to the forum.
  
• Before cross posting from another forum, permission from the original
  poster should be sought.
  
• Equally, it is common courtesy to credit posts here if you are sharing that information elsewhere.
  
• It is also considered bad form to copy someone's post here and paste it as your own elsewhere without acknowledgement.
