[QUOTE="Andy, post: 368441, member: 5096"] Looks like another time to agree to disagree! I did not get the puppy from a puppy mill and there is no reason a large dog can not spend time outside. As long as the dog is taken care of, spends oodles of time with its family (which this one will or I would not have gotten it), and is never neglected (again, no chance of this in our family), it will be happy and healthy. Have you never ever been to homes where their dogs are outdoors when you drive up or walk up? I do not live in a tight residential area where homes are real close together. I will not be chaining it up for hours on end or getting one of those electronic collars for it. I don't believe large dogs should be confined to indoors. If that works well for you than that is your belief and good for your dog - it has learned to be happy inside all the time except for the brief times outside for exercise that is structured. Where I live, dogs are outdoors a lot. They are happy and healthy. They get plenty of attention. I don't understand the thinking that ALL dogs must be indoors 24/7 outside of times taken outside for a daily walk or two. This dog will be inside when we are home (even overnight) and will get lots and lots of attention! It will be happy and healthy and that is all that counts. We don't have to get so extreme and upset over this! Our puppy will be just fine! You are not going to change my thinking on this and I can see you will not understand or accept my views. So best be subject closed! [/QUOTE]
