mid.land.err 30 Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 iv got working dogs inside and out and from personal experiances id say kennelled dogs are hardier they can withstand harsher weather there less fussy with food or anything else and seem to just get on with their lives, dogs inside tend too be whimpier, more fussy with food, wine if one dog is let into the loung nd the others arent, chew cupboard if bored, shivver when out in cold conditions, andone of the biggest things is actually down too me and its getting attatched, i think its much easier too get attactched too a working dog thats kept indoors than outside thats why i prefer keeping them outdoors Quote Link to post

lurcher330 2,297 Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 when i take on a pup it stays inside but as they get older the are gradually start to live outside but if they become ill they stay in until fit enough to go back out or if a dog has had a hard dig that day i bring it home give it a warm shower treat any injuries and keep it inside for the night Quote Link to post

dev 226 Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 Can't imagine keep dogs in the house. Especially after working them and with young children/babies in the house. No chance would I let them in. I don't know anyone who is serious about their digging that keep their terriers in the house Quote Link to post

I don't know anyone who is serious about their digging that keep their terriers in the house Mine would only be in the house if it has had hard dig and i shower them to clean any muck from any wounds and freshen them up a bit and then they are left in the cage beside the rad to dry off ,i wouldn't leave a wet dog out on a cold night after a hard day Quote Link to post

go2ground 152 Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 We have one that is kept inside and whoever said that attachment can become an issue is correct. My wife has claimed that little gyp as hers and hers alone. The other three are kept outside except after hard grafts. They are bathed , medicated (if needed) and kept boxed for a few days. IMO those calories that the dog expends keeping warm are better spent healing. Once I have them feeling a little better its back to the kennels. The kennel has roof and the dog houses are double walled and insulated. I am not saying this is the right way but its my way. Quote Link to post
Alli 923 Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 One thing nobody has mentioned is barking. Dogs outside at night, especially terriers, are likely to bark at anything or nothing, much to the annoyance of the neighbours. Morons near me (and she a Professor of Sociology - say no more) have a Maltese type dog that is outside all the time (a lap dog mind), and they take no scrap of notice when it barks, which it does a lot. Other neighbours had a Tenterfield Terrier always outside. He barked at anything that caught his notice, like a passing person, but he'd bark for 20 minutes, by which time a bird would fly over, so he'd be off again. They moved, thank God. I wonder why fools like these have dogs. They are just pets, not working dogs, so what do they get out of having them? The dogs sure don't get much out of being owned by such people. They could be happily in by the fire in the company of their family, instead of driving mad everybody in a 500 yard radius. ANTI BARK COLLARS NOWADAYS. MODERN TECHKNOWLEDGY A GREAT THING Quote Link to post
