I'm just wondering whats your thought on chaining a dog?

I don't understand why you guys are picking at Marty now too just because he has APBTs and he's new.

No one is picking on him. They are only saying they do not agree with it. There was no bashing involved.

I don't like to see dogs chained either, but your dogs look really happy in the pictures-and they look healthy so I don't see anything wrong w/ it as long as they are loved and taken care of.

We have a lab/golden mix. We have a large fence we keep him in, but he digs holes and can get nder the fence. We even have an electric wire going all the way around, but he takes the shock and still gets under. So just recently we've been having to keep him chained which I hate doing. When he's out one of our neighbors calls and complains about him coming over there and getting in her yard/garden. Plus he chases our cats really bad-when he's out they are up a tree or something just about the whole time. He won't hurt them, but they don't know that!

We've been thinking about finding him a home. We love him to death-he's a sweet boy and so lovable...but we can't keep him chained all the time and he won't stay in the fence-and when he's out it only causes problems w/ our neighbors ;/

But don't think he doesn't get any love or attention...actually right now he's out on the front porch. He got off the chain which happens a lot!
