[QUOTE="Andy, post: 368402, member: 5096"] O.K. Then inside at night it is - In difficult child's room. When we are home, it will be with us at all times but we are not home 24/7. I would think outside during the day on nice days (when it is older) when we are gone for awhile? It would have more room to move in its outdoor kennel than in the indoor crate. It will not be allowed to roam the house unsupervised - likewise, there is no room that I would want it to have free roam of while we are gone. The dogs we had while I was growing up were outdoor dogs who did not like to be inside for very long so I don't have any experience with large dogs in the house. I don't have a problem with the dog inside overnight or in extreme weather (hot or cold or stormy) or when someone is home supervising it. That is why I got one with low shedding since I knew it would be inside a lot. Standard poodles are one of the large dog breeds. Both the mom and dad of this puppy are outdoor dogs with barn/shed as shelter from the weather. Thank you all for your input. I do understand where you are coming from. I assure you that it will not be kept alone or away from the family while someone is home (including overnight - it can be in difficult child's room with him). I know lots of "outdoor" dogs that are indoors with the family much of the time but can be found in their outdoor kennels during the day if their family are gone for awhile weather permitting. I just don't know how old the dog was when they started doing so. [/QUOTE]
