[quote=Anonymous]Well, at my parents' farm dogs lived outside--that is, the big dogs lived outside (three of them) and were fine (northern Minnesota) and adapted easily to the winter and summer. But they were free to go wherever they were comfortable on a 640 acre farm with outbuildings and woods and a river. They also had each other to socialize with (and yes, bonded with humans as well). A dog that is able to acclimate to outside life needs to be pretty much an inside dog or an outside dog. (My mom also had a dachshund who got to live inside). And dog sled teams live outside. And I know people who have hunting dogs that live outside and have kennels. But a family pet in town who is the only dog, no. [/quote]
