House dogs?

[MARKR1985 15]

Would it be wiser to get a smooth haired dog for the house then? i always thought that a working dog was ment to be kept outside and they would then know their place under master and do not get to soft inside and pick up bad habits?

3 of mine are in the house and the other 2 are only outside because they trash the already trashed place!

Hello there, soon i am looking to get my first lurcher this comes the question of can a good lurcher be kept indoors or does the outdoors make a better dog? i ask this because i will be keeping my dog inside which i will want to get a puppie so it can socialize with everything in my house.

 

Thanks steve

I dont think indoors or outdoors makes a better dog, the important thing is that you give it a good life. A dog is not going to give up the thrill of the chase just because it is kept indoors. Keeping it indoors doesnt mean it has to sleep in your bed or eat off your dinner plate and if it is your only dog and you kept it outside whats it going to learn on its own? Personally i mix it a bit, i keep two dogs so they have always got company. They are kennelled together at night, when no one is at home they have the kennels and the run of the garden,and when we are at home the dogs come inside with us. Tough outdoor working types but also well socialised and contented pack members. Do the best for your dog with the resourses that youve got

i got on in and one out...i think both make decent working dogs,but i think if they are kept in they tend to have better manners,and tend to have a better understanding of you

all dogs moult mate i prefer them outside anytime but i have to admit the dogs at the minute are in the house it realy doesent make f all differnce to their working abilitie just depends on yourself mate

do you fancy a messy house cleaning up poor prints or cleaning up piss and shit when thier pups

and things chewed up,

 

on they other hand dogs in a kennel do have much more maintenaince like mucking them out

buying straw and everything else you do need some time for this but you would have a cleaner

 

house basically it doesent affect the dog dogs what live outside dont like it indoors and dogs what live inside dnt like it outside it all depends on you and how you feel about it at they end of the day your dogs your dicision atb r.t

Another thing about beddies,they cant guard for toffee,had a full packet of chocolate-Hobnobs nicked a few months or so ago,left them on the coffee table,dog kipping behind the sofa,came back an hour or so later biccies gone and the dog now kipping on the chair Biscuit-burglars had obviously struck then left

 

 

 

# F...ing hell mackem thats funny, wife and i were pissing our sides !!! nice one.

 

They are scandelous for nicking stuff as well, anything from the neighbours kids pencil sharpener to car keys to puncture outfits!!

 

Seriously tho, my to beddi x cant come in the house, even if i want them to, they wont.(coats way to thick) Way to hot, go mad, panting like an arab.

We mix and match. Got a pen outdoors but when we are in they come in. My bitch comes to work with me so she barely sees the pen but used to be in there every day, dont reckon it made any difference to her working

So what do you do in winter tyla? When it is freezing outside, do you let them get used to the heat, then put them out in the freezing cold? because, when the dog is inside it will malt, then go outside and not have a good enough coat to combat the weather.... My dogs coat have become much thicker as winter approaches, as they live outside, and they will be able to cope with it...
