Do people not leave dogs to live outside anymore?

I want a dog soon and it's going to live in the back yard. But I can only think of a few people I know that have dogs that live outside.

We did this growing up and it seemed pointless. It basically was the same thing as buying a lawn chair or garden statue that you had to feed

mine stays outside


we bring him into the garage if it gets below freezing, but otherwise he stays outside all day



IMO dogs don't want to be inside, as long as you go out and show them attention

Lot of Dog frickers out there these days...you can thank 4Chan and furries for that

I'm sure it's still common in the suburbs or rural areas.

As a kid we left our dog on the porch all day every day, but she came in at night.

My current dog stays inside if we're gone, but is usually outside if we're home.

Mine is outside during the day. In the evening he is inside and outside, back and forth. He sleeps at night inside.

Mine stays outside when I'm working, but he's in a pen at the farm. I think he gets bored on days when I'm home because I have to keep him inside. I'm in the market for a house and one of the criteria is having a fenced in back yard. He loves being outside.

Ours are technically inside dogs. Big dogs sleep in crates at night and while we're at work. Small dogs sleep on their dog beds in the gated dog lair. Dog lair attaches to the laundry room where the big dogs are. When we're home, they all have free range in/out via doggie door.

My lab is 5 years old and lives in the backyard. He is as happy as can be.

it's pretty common if you're white trash and live in a trailer park.
