[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, you city people have pretty strange thoughts about dogs.  You realize they are meant to be outside, right?  And this crating trend...you honestly think that it's better to keep a dog in a cage like a bird?  The thing I would most be concerned about is barking and your neighbors.[/quote]

Actually dogs have been domesticated for thousands of years.  Wolves are meant to live outside; dogs are not.

My dog and others' dogs I know are not crated regardless of "trends."  They live indoors, with people, because they are pets - not lawn ornaments.[/quote]

Not pp, but, actually, the DNA of all dogs is almost identical to wolves.  I don't leave our dog outside all day (he's tiny, and there are eagles around here that would carry him away), but I also don't get those who equate a dog being outside with dog abuse.  Keeping a dog inside all the time is dog abuse.  My little, frou frou designer dog LOVES being outside -- I have to go out and chase him back in the house, unless it's really cold or really hot.  Dogs are NOT "little people with fur coats". That's an insult to the dogs. [/quote]
