[QUOTE="Mamaof5, post: 368422"] The reason you can't find that information out there on the net is because there is no information out there about that topic matter. It's generally not acceptable to leave a dog outside by itself at all. Any breed. Dogs are pack animals exception to the rule are feral dogs, feral hybrid males in particular or lone wolves (canine family). It's not the best idea to even leave the dog on a chain outside during the day, dogs need socialization day and night. Crate training is an alternative choice and is fairly easy to train a dog for crating. It's about consistency and the breeder that has the mom and dad outside like that is by definition a puppy mill. How socialized are these dogs in all honesty - with that being said, the breeder is partially responsible for the temperament of the parents thus by breeding also the temperament of the offspring. Just like humans, puppies learn from behavior of their parental presence. I'd question the temperament of the puppy and the parentage of that puppy with that kind of treatment. If not a puppy mill, at the very least a backyard breeder. I would caution against this particular puppy and start looking for perhaps a shelter dog - less expensive, all it's shots, neutered\spayed and socialized with both animals and foster homes (possibly families and kids). There are three kinds of breeders - responsible ones (the one you want to purchase a puppy from), backyard breeders and puppy mills. [/QUOTE]
