Official FAQ's for rec.pets.dogs.*

  ("Official" simply means that the faqs are crossposted to news.answers
  and automatically archived at rtfm.mit.edu.)

  There are a number of monthly posted FAQ files that deal with dogs in

  These faqs are written by different readers of RPD who have experience
  with the breed in question. While in many cases (not all!) I post
  them. you should direct any questions to the authors of the FAQ rather
  than automatically to me.

  You are encouraged to volunteer to write new breed faqs, please
  contact me at [email protected] for details. I am happy to help you
  archive the faqs properly; however, you may decide to do it yourself
  or keep them offical; whatever. Please do let me know about it,
  though, so I can list it here.
