Hi may seem like a bit of a strange question but one of my friends is renting her home and recently got approval to keep a dog but on the condition that it is outside ONLY. Ideally she would prefer to be allowed to keep in indoors when she is home and outdoors when she isn't but the landlord will not budge. There is a pergoled undercovered area which is free from drafts and well sheltered and she plans on buying a kennel to keep the bed raised so that it will not get wet etc. She would really like a miniture daschund and the backyard is quite large and she is home most of the day apart from shopping, paying bill etc as her partner works while she looks after her 4 year old son. She recently rang a breeder who went through the usual questions but when she reached the inside or outside dog and she explained that she wasn't allowed to keep inside they proceeded to tell her that they would not sell her a puppy if it was not allowed indoors. Is this common? I own a golden and she is allowed both in and out so I have never had this problem before myself and am a bit taken a back that she was refused even though she has done her research and has done everything responsibly.
