RULES:
1. you can make your own COMMON barkdogs, but please do not make adoptables without permission from me.
2. Don't buy/hoard barkdogs only to sell them later and never use them or commission art of them. You can sell a barkdog regardless if you or I made it, but at least use them for something.
3. Barkdogs are plants, meaning they reproduce asexually. Please do not draw nsfw art of your barkdog.

not a rule, but a fun fact: a family of barkdogs is a forest
