Is this right?

My neibours have a jack russell (male) and a yellow lercher (female).

Not so long ago the lercher gave birth to 6 puppies. She had attacked small dogs in the past as my neibours have had a number of dogs.

She and her puppies are locked in a tiny shed and a small outdoor pen 24/7. (but the mum is allowed out on weekends)
The puppies are growing up and they cry and cry to get out, but are obviously never able to.

The owners are keeping one of the puppies and treat it differently to the others. She is allowed out of the pen at times, and the others arent.

I dont think this is right but I will need opinions. They dont have much human contact but are awfully sweet. Im worried the mother dog may attack them as she has attacked many people and dogs in the past.

Could I have opinions please?

Definitely not right. And didn't you just get a much stronger animal rights law passed there? Contact RSPCA, describe the situation to them and ask if it is "right."

Good for you to help out this little babies!
