Bandog is actually the English name for the German term chain dog . This is a dog that is tied up during the day or kept in a kennel and released at night on company or private property to guard an area or property. In Germany, keeping dogs as tethered is subject to conditions.

In Switzerland , the bandog is on the breed list in the canton of Zurich ; Keeping, breeding and importing are prohibited there.

In Austria , the bandog is on the rattle list in two of the three list-leading federal states ( Lower Austria and Vorarlberg ). Depending on the federal state, a " certificate of competence " (Lower Austria) or a special permit from the mayor (Vorarlberg) is required.
