dawnraider 2 Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 the only difference i have found between indoor and outdoor dogs is in the quality and condition of there skin and coats,the outdoor dogs being the more healthy. Quote Link to post
DEERMAN 1,020 Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 I KEEP MY DOGS OUTSIDE BUT ID SAY A DOG KEPT IN HOUSE WITH FAMILY GETS MORE SOCIALIZED AND IF MY MRS WOULD HAVE IT THEY WOULD BE INSIDE. Quote Link to post
Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 A Dog which lives indoors will suffer no ill effects on it's ability or keenness to hunt. Look at it this way; If being indoors softens a Dog up, what do people with Personal Protection Dogs do? Bring them in, where they can do the protecting, if called upon? Or leave them out in some kennel to keep them 'Hard'? Wake up to find a din with a knife beside ye bed and it's, " Ah. Can ye just excuse me while I nip down the yard and release my hard Dog? " Ffs. 99% of Dogs which get stolen are taken from outside kennels. How hard's that? Quote Link to post

kirstysdad 827 Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 keeping dogs indoors does not affect their working ability but were possible keep them outside[not always a option]if kept indoors esapecialy in a family home they tend to become part of the family and this can be very dificult when the time comes to part you got to remember these are working dogs bred to work not to play in the front room with the kids Quote Link to post

terrierguy 1 Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 I only have 3 dogs so have recently allowed them to sleep in the house due to lack of space outside, after previously been kennelled outside there have been no effects on working ability, if anything I get to enjoy a more social bond with the dogs. On the downside I.ve had to stop feeding tripe as the little feckas stink. Quote Link to post
