Hunting dogs and working dogs are often left outside. I think working Huskies often prefer outside to the inside. Beagles and Spaniels often used for hunting are kept outside. It is the owner's choice in all instances. I, for one, remember my parents allowing the dogs in the "back hall" when the temperatures dropped so low the dog would cry to come in..... I never knew it was so hard on a dog until I got old enough to understand.

All that said, it is really up to the owner to take the necessary steps to socialize the dog and keep it well fed and vetted. Usually, if there is failure, it is all around. Pets take a great deal of care, inside or out! Out could be more difficult if you are truly faithful to the process.

Tim is one of many folks in this world, who think of dogs as not an inside pet and part of the family. It is his choice!

It is not my style, for sure, but let's give Tim room to make one more move in the right direction .... and rehome Daisy, to just the right home. We will never really know what the final decision will be........never.
