Hi guys,
I have recently moved to a home with stables and paddocks and found out there is a problem with people pinching trailers which we have...
We have been advised to get a couple of "yard dogs" and I just wanted to know your thoughts on this.
The idea of having a dog that would live outside is very new to me I already have three much loved dogs that live inside (even sleep on my bed!!!) However the people that have dogs have not been touched by the trailer thieves and those without have all been victims so I am thinking about it now!
I would get two so they had company, and I am often around so they would get human interaction they would obviously have a kennel and be able to roam around do you think keeping them outside is cruel?
I can't make the dogs i have currently live outside as they are small breeds that are really more like lap dogs and living outside would not be the right thing to do!
If you do think keeping dogs outside is okay would you advise a specific breed? and would you advise a puppy or older and any more tips would be much appreciated!
I don't want to do anything thats unfair on the dogs but I would very much like to keep my trailer and other things from being stolen!
Thanks in advance!! x
