There is no right and wrong in this situation, just matters of opinion.

All we know is the dog is chained to a kennel, its allowed of the chain a few times a day and spends its nights on the chain in the kennel
If you are OK with that fine, I am not.

As I have said before, my dogs are not chained and nor do they live outdoors. My preference.

A text from Clo received a minute ago.
"The kennel is raised and placed on the side of a building so is sheltered"

Its beyond me why anyone would chain their dogs up for long periods at a time.

Why would a dog like that want to share every aspect of some boring human beings life??? And before you get your knickers in a twist the boring human being I was referring to was Kirsty!
As much as you love your dogs it's pretty clear to me you humanise them way too much and know nothing about working dogs and their drives!
