    There is no pointing the finger at a dog being chained up, allowed to produce more unwanted puppies with a different breed. The resulting 6 week old puppies wandering around the garden and hiding under a shed for shelter.

    Some people simply should not be allowed have dogs. The tragic result happened because of how irresponsible the owners were.


    Probably looking to make a quick buck on donedeal or gumtree no doubt.

    Dont know the possible reasons maybe they normally have a shelter but maybe some pups were inside it I agree a chain is not the best but at the time its better than nothing. Do we know where or how the pup died

    alright, pups were in the kennel, bring the the dog that they "only" way they had to hold him was a chain.

    It doesn't matter what you come up with, they could still have brought the dog in.

    People using chains to hold a dog in this day an age is downright moronic. And two poor dogs are dead because of it.

    I am agreeing with you however the reason I asked about the puup is this.

    A few years ago we had 2 dogs. We live in the countryside. I was home alone one day and heard them yelping. I went out to the door to see what was wrong they were been chased by few grayhounds that had escaped from nest door. I opened the door a bit for my dogs to come in one did and the other ran away. I had to shut the door to stop the greyhounds from coming in my door. Luckly my uncle came and chased them away however before he cam the dog indoor became agaited and started to run at the door to get out and help the other do and crashed into the door and tried to do it agin untill I restrained it.

    Now I tell this story for a reason and it is this. Could it be possible that they normally have a shelter but due to the 10 pups and the mother the one who died could not be kept in it. If the pup was inside and did what my dog did it could have hurt itself or dies so we do not know what happened. The chain could have been temporary. We do not know


    what has that to do with not brining a dog inside at halloween due to the noise - and when I say halloween, we all know that the fireworks go off for days before hand.

    I mean it's common knowledge.

    There may have been a shelter but due to having 10 pups and the mother there may have been no room for him so as a tempoary measure they were using a chain.
    And NO its not common knoweldge fire works can go days before or after as another poster has said I heard nothing untill last night.

    My story was in relation to the pup as it we do not know how it dies so that could have been one way.

    not an excuse. a shelter does nothing for a terrified pet - a terrified pet needs to feel safe - being outside on a chain does not provide enough safety for a pet, especially when the warnings come out every year about dogs and fireworks. Some people should just not be given the responsibility of having pets.

    I am agreeing with you I am just saying what they might have thought and giving it was not haloween night but Wednesday they probably did not think it could happen.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,772 ✭✭✭Knine


    If you don't have the facilities to keep 12 dogs then they should not have a dog & certainly not breeding them.

    It says the puppy also got caught up in the chain. No surprise there considering the pups were only 6 weeks old & hiding under sheds.

    I have a dog. It is chained more than half the time. It never gets in the house. It is considered an animal, not part of the family.

    But I'll tell you so called 'dog lovers' in this thread one thing for nothing;

    yous haven't a fcuking clue.

    how do you mean they were using a chain for a temporary measure - how temporary?

    You're clutching at straws there man.

    Why I was just offering a possibility as we do not know. I am agreeing the dog should be inside and not on a chain do not like chains.

    Anyone that has a dog tied to a chain is not in a position to keep a dog in a proper environment

    If you lived in a farm would you prefer they were locked in a shed at night time?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,772 ✭✭✭Knine

    No I would prefer they were indoors or in a run like other responsible dog owners & then those dogs would be still alive.

    Can we chain you to a gate and not consider you as part of the family only feed you when we feel like it never wash you and give you a few kicks when we are walking out of the house

    Surely dogs have to be chained in built up areas?

    You are inferring that's what the family from the article did with their dog when chained up?

    No point chaining a dog that can't jump the wall.

    How about building a run for them? rather than giving them access to the whole "farm"?

    A run, would be proper containment, and removes the need for closing in the whole field or whatever space you have.

    Plus, we're on about the fact that when the dogs are scared they should be brought indoors.

    And I say this as someone who's dogs are outside dogs, with proper containment, and they dislike being indoors.
    We had them in, because with the fireworks(that weren't only going off last night). It was simply safer and better for them.

    How hard is it to the same and understand why thats the right thing to do and not a damned chain?

    The Backwards Man keeps his dog on a chain; it does not follow that he neglects to feed it and kicks it in passing.

    Dogs don't always deal very well with being indoors or in a pen all day. And there's nothing to suggest that the family didn't have a dog run. All anyone here knows is that the dog happened to be on a chain at the time of the incident. Which happened during the day, not at night time which people are also just assuming.

    Na. You all obviously know so much more about looking after animals than the likes of me, and know how to care for them much more humanely than I ever could. There's no way I could enlighten the experts posting here.

    Tragic accident or ruthless canine murder? From that pic looks to me like TJ is a bit dodgy, there is a definite Damian look to that smile on his face....
