The Puppy Pride Flag is similar to the 7 stripe design created by Jeff Hull (Grungepup Jeff) but has the same number of Black, Blue and White Stripes as the Leather Pride Flag created by Tony DeBlase that is a symbol for the leather community, which encompass those who are into leather, Levi's, SM, BD, uniform, cowboys, rubber, and other fetishes. The Stripes are set on a 30 degree diagonal reminiscent of the boy flag designed by Keith Pollanen to indicate a new direction. The White Stripe is wider than the other stripes to represent the broadness of the puppy community. The blood Red Bone in the center of the flag indicates the unconditional, non-judgmental heart of the puppy.
What is puppy play?
From a Pup named Flip And his above website helps with his view one that I respect and appreciate. Please take the time to read and follow him. I host The San Diego Eagle's Puppy Night. I often get asked to explain or give an introduction to puppy play at least twice a night when I host. Which I love to meet and speak with new members and fellow brothers that are simply interested in seeing what all the barking is about. When starting my journey as a new stray dog running around sniffing for a bone. I started by hust meeting and talking to feloow members of the community I still am learning and growing as everyone is in the community right now. There seems to be a changing and opening of minds around the pact. So I found myself coming in at the perfect time. While researching and getting to know what Puppy Play is and what it in-tailed. ( WOOF!! WOOF!! ) So here is a few great sites I have come to follow and believe in is a honorable code of conduct.
- First off Puppy play is NOT about bestiality. Human puppy play does not involve real pups/dogs in sexual activities and it does not mean someone desires to perform sexual activities with real biological pups/dogs
- Puppy play originally began as a way to humiliate or punish a boy by making them look and act like a dog but many found they identified more with being a pet than they did as a boy or slave. The punishment turned out to be more fun than humiliation. So began the puppy movement. Today it is growing in leaps and bounds as more and more people find their true nature as a pet.
- It is different for everyone that takes on the role of a puppy or a dog. It sometimes involves a trainer/master/handler/owner where a pup is trained, disciplined or simply acts like a spoiled pet and sometimes it may only involve playing with other pups/dogs or playing alone. Some pups completely relinquish all human characteristics, becoming a true "pet" while others retain varying degrees of their human characteristics.
- For some it's completely non-sexual, there is no erotic or sexual interaction at all, simply relying on someone to feed and reward or discipline them is only an exciting variation of Dominance and submission (D/s). For others, they are always a human, capable sexual behavior with other pups or humans. Puppy play has strong naturally occurring elements of D/s, ownership and control, as well as other traditional BDSM aspects
- Puppy play depends on what the people involved are hoping to accomplish, it can be nothing more than role-play fun or an escape from reality using an alternate personality.
- A puppy or dog is a human pet. It can be a male or female who identifies closely with real biological pups/dogs and lets go their human inhibitions and stress to embrace their animal instinct. They live in the moment, their entire existence revolves around getting a pat on the head, being told they are a good puppy, exploring anything and everything that looks interesting or fun, even if it's sniffing someone in public. A pup/dog may take on the persona of a biological canine to varying degrees from being on all fours chasing balls and barking instead of talking to only taking on the personality of a pup/dog but retaining their human abilities.
- For many it's just a type of role playing but for others it's a part of their inner spirit, it's who they are whether in pup gear or not.
