for what exactly?
calling out a guy for being a troll?
EDIT: Jayrod, you have a history here. Reporting me isn't going to help people forget the things you have said.

Research has been done. I posted a thoughtful response indicating that I'm seriously considering everyone's input and got exactly ZERO responses.

Kinda funny you are stating you have gotten zero response from a thoughtful post of yours....I picture Jayrod saying that outside in a yard measuring .60 acres looking into his owners house in the middle of the night.
Maybe if you're lucky someone will rub your belly in the morning.

You stating that I hate animals and calling me a troll isn't your place either. I'd appreciate you stop both.
I don't expect people to forget what I've said as long as they remember what I said and not someone else's summary that isn't accurate.
how do we know you won't just come back in the future and say you were really high and only kidding?
you said yourself you were not being sincere when you wanted to kill all the cats of the world. isn't that
? don't you like to get reactions from people while making outlandish statements?what have I said that isn't accurate?
go back and read what I said. "he hates animals OR he pretends to"
most of the comments you got today were directly related to the previous comments you have tried to distance yourself from on these boards.

Why would you get a dog as a pet, but then deny them, and you, the companionship they crave by keeping them outside all the time? Seems like an odd choice. I could understand if you were getting hunting dogs, and only wanted the dogs for hunting, but by adopting them as pets, you seem to be looking for something out of the relationship, that I don't think you will get by chaining them up outside.

there are dog breeds that don't shed, fwiw. good for people with allergies and neat freaks who don't want dog hair all over their house.

Dog is part of the family, but that doesn't mean it is inhumane to keep it outdoors. Some hunting and guard dogs can thrive and have a better life living outdoors, but they also need to be sheltered from the elements and properly socialized. Unfortunately I think this rarely happens with exclusively outdoor dogs, but I have seen some notable exceptions.

My wife had a dog since she was a teenager and it had living at her mom's house for a couple of years after we moved in together. As the dog got older she convinced me to have it at our house so she could be with it while it was still alive.
The dog rarely made it inside. Just briefly for sessions of petting/playing, but basically it spent the last 2 years of its life in the side yard and garage.
I felt the dog was neglected and I haven't allowed a new dog in our house fearing the same thing would happen. We are a cat family until I'm confident our kids are old enough to be regularly involved with a dog.

I knew they liked attention, just didn't know that keeping a dog outside was the same as torture and inhumane.I can see how you would be confused considering everyone says that cats are man's best friend.This is not exactly known by everyone.

Don't worry, I've been fully educated today, so no need to go into it.

So you know, not only will you be doing a great thing for a dog by bringing them inside, but you will learn a whole new experience of unconditional love that only dogs can give. They are extraordinary animals and the relationship they can have with you and your kids is like no other. They give so much more back to you than you can ever give to them.
The next time you have a tough day and come home, the wagging tail and joy of just seeing you walk in makes it better.

this makes sense jay. The dogs you want, want to be inside with you. Would be awesome if your wife changed her tune. I don't think viszlas shed much but im not sure

None at all.Was gonna recommend this dog.
The pros
Don't shed
Don't smell
Don't need baths often
don't slobber
great with kids
The cons
Very active...this is where the .60 acres would cone in handy. They need a lot of activity.
Perhaps a con...very attached.
They want to be with you everywhere.
If the plan is to keep the dog off couches and such will be tough. Can be done with proper training but tough.
we got our vizsla a month ago.
kids love him. He is a pup and a bit hyper with the kids. Wants to jump and nibble on them but slowly starting to get that under control.

Your powers of comprehension are astounding. Do you have a blog or twitter account I can follow?

Why do you keep asking everyone whether or not they have kids? What is the point you're trying to make?

2. My son is 9 and I have a 21 month old girl. They both love our 2 dogs and vice versa. We have a small dog, terrier mix, and a boxer. The bigger dog is actually better with the kids.

Its' not remotely the same thing. Although Jayrod's use of "exclusively" does put a spin of "that dam dog in never allowed in the house".
New flash: Before dogs were domesticated all breeds lived exclusively outside.
Some breeds are bread to withstand the elements and are perfectly happy outside 95% of the time. Farm and hunting dogs on ranches where I grew up spent all of their time outside and fought for barn space along with the other animals at night or during cold weather (although they were allowed in the house if they wanted). And guess what? Dogs living outside aren't neglected or isolated unless you never spend any time outside with them.
Communally, in constant contact with their packs, where they found emotional support, structure, fellowship, and leadership. The ones cast away from the intimacy of pack life were doomed to short, unhappy lives.
Thanks to the miracle of domestication, now they have the chance at long, unhappy lives. Progress!

I was thinking the same thing. Really sucks to be the dogs who end up going into that situation. They don't get to choose. Honestly makes me sad.

Just because dogs can live outside (and did before they were domesticated) does not mean it is best for their quality of life. Humans used to live outdoors too. Then we built houses.

Which is why i don't feel too bad for the dogs that are mostly outside with a few other dogs. Except those who live right next to a moderately busy country road. So far they haven't gotten hit but that's largely luck."mostly" is a key here. It gets way too hot around here some days.Communally, in constant contact with their packs, where they found emotional support, structure, fellowship, and leadership.

Yeah, no. Large dogs have only recently come into the homes of their owners. Even a generation ago people mostly kept large breed dogs and hunting dogs outside, and there is nothing at all wrong with it if they are properly cared for. Let's not make it seem like Fred Flintstone was the last guy to keep his dog outside.

If you get a dog I hope it bites your bean bag. You really shouldn't get one though, that is very clear.

Tiger was an outside dog. And you don't get more All-American than the Bradys.

I rented a cabin in the mountain the last few years so she could go instead of going somewhere she couldn't go. I probably have more money in her than a luxury automobile would cost. Spent 2k on her the last few weeks so that will cost me some ff teams. In a live or death situation with only me and the dog in it I would share food and water. I known her 13 years, now would I share if I was with you......

it certainly makes sense for some specific types of dogs and I'm sure there are ways to care for it humanely and keep it outside most/all of the time. But still feels weird to both (a) want to add a dog to the family and (b) never let it inside. especially for breeds like a lab and golden, which I think he was interested in.

If a dog is happiest inside with the family, bonding with people as they are genetically programmed to do, and you are relegating your dogs to the backyard where they will only sporadically receive human attention, how is it a stretch to say I feel sorry for your dogs? It's a crappy life.Also stop with the dogs are more valuable than people crap. No one is saying that. You continue to come across unbelievably stubborn and ignorant. Rarely has someone been so wrong and continued to dig a deeper and deeper hole. It's becoming a really sad and embarrassing spectacle. Best thing you could do is stop posting in both threads and let them drop.
