[QUOTE="Mamaof5, post: 368486"] I have a husky\wolf hybrid (yes it's legal here). I never said he was in the house 24/7. In fact he goes everywhere we go! Bush camping, drives, park, tons of walks. I don't chain him up (I don't even have a yard - if you want to see my place check out Step2's camping thread, I posted an album of Elliot Lake, you'll even see a picture of my fur baby). I work with a no-kill shelter and the general consensus I've always heard and seen around me both with the no kill shelter and the general population is you just don't chain a dog by themselves at all for long periods of time. We have by-laws here about that. A puppy needs more than that at that age, constant care like a human baby to be socialized and psychologically healthy. Chain a puppy at that stage for a few hours a day and you'll have a very miserable, grumpy and possibly snippy puppy. It seems like you really want to justify your ideas about this puppy and justify getting this puppy. Your other thread, I saw a lot of doubt about the idea of a new puppy even in your own thought processes and words - here too. If you can't take a dog full on all the way around in all stages it might be best to forgo getting the dog in the first place. [/QUOTE]
