Here is a brief list of the great email groups out there that focus on natural care for dogs. If you know of any others that I should include please email me.

advBARF - This list is for people who have fed their dogs a BARF (bones and raw food, biologically appropriate raw food)diet for at least six months.   Billinghurst, Shultze, and Lonsdale diets are typically used, but not a requirement.   The intent is for this list to be fairly low volume with a high information density.

BARF-world - Do you want to learn about Bones And Raw Food? Discuss the BARF diet with Dr. Ian Billinghurst B.V.Sc.[Hons], B.Sc.Agr., Dip.Ed. and list members. This is a world-wide BARF email list for feeding dogs and cats the diet they evolved to eat over millions of years of genetic adaptation.

BeyondBehaviour - Beyond the insights of classical behaviourism, is there "more?"   Do dogs pick up on out thoughts in ways we can't currenlty quantify and explain? This list will explore the mysteries that lie beyond the parameters of behaviourism. drawing on cutting edge research such as Rupert Sheldrake's, and with respect to personal experience, I propose we look at the limitations of behaviourism and how our understanding of the human/canine bond can be enriched once we open to that which can't be reduced to theory.

CarnivoreFeed-Supplier - Carnivore feed suppliers provides a list of what they have to offer people who feed their carnivores a natural raw diet. Pet owners list their needs.
