Please read the article I linked in 87. There are reasons frequent chaining is a bad idea and chained dogs are frequently involved in bites. As I said some breeds are less likely to bite, but chained dogs are more likely to bite. It seems to be a cause. If you have a dog, find another way to keep it from wandering.
Lol, I'll just rely on my own judgment, having owned dogs for many years.
Nobody chains teacups as a rule....you tend to just chain hunters and guards and dogfighters
I have a very big and very strong ABD...southern standard style...not a classic wrinkleface...and I've seen folks chain them...with logging chain...and they can still pull a steel stake out of a table rock given time and effort
I don't like chaining dogs but sometimes you have to. I have chained mine with heavy gauge wire but he doesn't fight so much cause he knows he will get free when the bushog man is gone or when company that brought their foofoo dog over leave.
My dog is a family dog and lives inside mostly at nite and in weather extremes but I have 4 acres with invisible fence...not everyone can afford that hence chains
some breeders of large catch breeds chain too because the dogs will destroy a wire kennel
i don't like permanent chaining of any dog but sometimes it's just the option folks have...dogs win the lottery too in life by chance same as humans...my breeder knew that when i bought his pup...10 acres...invis fence...origen food...kids....a wife that adores big male dogs...inside the house life....big pickup to ride in....you get to keep your “hackysack”...he looked down at that puppy and told him to behave cause you just got lucky in life....he coulda just have easily been sold to a hunting kennel...which he may have enjoyed coursing and killing catch but it woulda been much more spartan
dogs are still just dogs...i love em...mine’s upstairs chilling on the leather chair-ottoman but I got 5 kids here too and he's got his place..and if he gets chained up from time to time then he can just deal with it
a nice long run type wire between two trees with a drop line or a staked wire with 100 foot radius ain't mean to the dog in my opinion...with shade and water
