Nobody has ever given me a hard time for having my dogs indoors and, if anybody ever does, I'll give the same answer as some other Pettalkers: It's my house, the dog is a family member, and it's nobody's business but mine.
I had a fence built in my backyard before I brought my first Golden puppy home and she loved to spend time outside but I never left her out unless I was here to check on her every couple of minutes. None of my dogs has ever stayed outside if I was not in the house. My current Golden, Carina, doesn't want to be out even for a short time unless I'm out with her too.
The thought of not allowing a dog in the house, no matter how big it is, is very objectionable to me.
