I asked this question elsewhere and the answer was inconclusive, but since you are a professional deer I figured you may be able to shed some light on the situation.

Here goes:

Ok, so i myself being on the outside of the furry community have an odd and specific question.
Apologies in advance if i mess up terminology
Is the deer coded/dog coded relationship like a thing? If so what are the stereotypes?
I've been told I have deer energy, and my bf is very much puppy.

So, uh, I'll be honest, this is the first time parsing the pun has ever come up in the several years I've been using "professional deer" as a tagline: it should probably actually be "deer professional," insofar as I'm a member of a professional regulatory body and unrelatedly a deer, but that sounds less funny? 😅

That said, it's a bit of a thing, in my experience? Deer as "forest puppy" and what have you, not that I'm especially puppy myself (compared, e.g., to my shark girlfriend @bishoparrow who is very much rubber sea puppy.) As I used to keep pinned to my Twitter, my fursona is a deer mostly because I, too, am a big shy hungry dumbass with occasional moments of ethereal grace. (Plus I just enjoy the obvious transfem coding of antlers on a doe.)

Anyway, just have fun with it? Fursona characteristics should be fun, not prescriptive!
