Before you register: Choosing a username

We strive to keep this forum free from spam. In the process, a proportion of those who attempt to register as members of this forum are rejected.

We welcome all genuine dog owners, or those interested in dogs, to our forum. To help ensure your registration is confirmed, please choose your username carefully.

If you register with your business/website as your username, your registration will probably be rejected. You may not use your email address as a username. You can put a link to your website in your signature line, but usernames may not be used for promotional purposes.

If you want to be anonymous that's fine, but please consider registering with your actual name as your username. You are far less likely to be rejected if you do so.

Thanks for reading, and we look forward to meeting you
