If you use them have bolt cutters with you.
The ones with spikes are safer as they have easily opened links.

6. Looks to me like Major has a regular collar, and the chain is attached to the collar.

I don't think it's a choke chain.
I just looked at several pictures of the dog on the internet, and he definitely wears a regular dog collar with a metal "D" clip attached to it. A chain would be attached to the "D" clip...not a choke collar.

19. A choke chain attached to the collar is strange and unnecessary

A choke chain should never be on a dog unless during training and then and always when supervised and then. My dog was almost choked to death when another dog came up to play his teeth got tangled on the chain luckily a fellow nearby had a bolt cutter. Choke collars are strongly not recommended now. Maybe might be needed for police dog restraint but could also mean dog not trained properly.

20. As I said, it's not a choke chain, it's a chain. There is a difference.

A choke chain is a loop that tightens as it is pulled tighter. A chain attached to a collar does not get tighter when it is pulled. The collar is fixed in it's diameter, and the chain is attached to the collar to hold the dog, and nothing more.
Look on the internet at the many pictures of Major. This is NOT a choke chain.

7. I love dogs, but licking ones face is something that I have never gone for

I mean, dogs lick their private parts (I know, not so private in dogs as they are exposed), some of them eat actual crap, they put their noses everywhere, they don't brush their teeth, etc. etc.

Sorry dog lovers, it is just something that I have never come to terms with.

Doturd is such a vile scumbag he couldn't even have a dog as a pet. And no, Pence doesn't count.
