[quote=Anonymous]I think that it is probably fine to leave a dog outside during the spring/fall if the dog is not a barker (which you are not going to know until you bring the dog home and leave it alone for a while). However, what will your plan be for the dog in the summer/winter? Will it just stay inside all day? Could you get a dog door installed? Will you also be taking it for walks in the morning/evenings? My dad is a vet and his biggest pet peeve is dog owners who don't provide their dog enough exercise. Playing in the backyard is often not enough for a lot of breeds, and especially pups. Bored dogs who haven't gotten their energy out become PITA dogs that everyone starts to resent. Also, doggie day care is a great way to socialize your pup. Not something you need to invest in every day, but once a week it would probably be a great way to get energy out. [/quote]
