Largely Americans and Canadians on here and probably less concerned with "the polite thing to do" -- that's not a condemnation of anyone, it's just the way it is. My husband is British (a Scot, but he lived in Buckinghamshire when we met 10 years ago) and he and I talk all the time about all the differences ... particularly in language. The internet may use "English" primarily as communication, but that doesn't mean everyone's defnition for words is the same ... EVEN across the States.
So welcome -- no one minded at all that you jumped right in -- in fact, it IS the way it is done and no one thought less of you at all. You have a beautiful dog. You'll soon get to know all of ours. Take care -- and again, Welcome!!
