How Many Keep Dogs Kenneled?

[Foxi_Roxi 21]

how many of you keep your terriers outside? I'd like a terrier, (my OH has 2) and his are both kenneled permenantly. Now i dont know if its the girlie side in me or the fact terriers are so small, I kind of feel sorry for them being out in the cold

 

I suppose it doesnt help Ive only had pet dogs before i got my lurcher (shes in most of the time although does have a kennel and run) and Im used to them being in the house.

 

I know terriers are hardy little things. But just give me some reassurance. Pictures of your set up (and lovely dogs!) would be a great help!

Never kept a dog inside never will as long as they got a warm dry kennel they're fine

Only have gundogs but everyone is outside.

 

Only Cockers but the other year proved to me how much it doesn't bother them. It was snowing & temp in car showed -16. The dogs, which have heated kennels were all outside sleeping covered in snow.

i used to work with flat coat retrievers and they were all kept outside in kennels. I do love flatties!

Outside for mine...put a bit of thought and effort into the bedding area. .no need for them to be cold. security is my main concern. .keep the kennels out of site of passers by if possible. .

I have labs which are all outside, one of them hardley ever uses his box he likes sleeping on top of it but my skinny shivering saluki whippet is inside in front of the fire usually lay on my feet lol

But each to there own I like a dog inside it means I don't have to speak to the missus

What do people think to dogs being kept with a kennel and then on a chain? I've seen this done before too. Think I prefer the kennel and run idea over a chain.

I wouldn't have a dog on a chain mate I know of a couple of good Lurchers that have hung themselves when chasing next doors cat and tried to follow it over fence

I think any man r woman who chains a dog,should use common sence and not leave enough chain for the dog to do harm,a few ft is plenty providing the dog is geting plenty of exercise.
