Sorry Ed, but I have to disagree with you. In the two rescue organizations that I am affiliated with we do require the dogs we place to be house dogs with access to outside. We have found that we do not want to place our dogs in an environment where they are "yard dogs". Mainly because we have found that the maljority of the people who do not want to have the dog in the house are not going to bond with the dog and the dog often becomes a nuisance barker and then there are issues with neighbors and then the dog ends up back in rescue. Each rescue organization has their own set of rules just as each breeder can decide who they want to place a puppy with. Me.....I do not sell puppies to those who want a strictly "outside" dog, other breeders can do what ever they are comfortable with. Each to his own or as Evan would say ---- "Not that there is anything wrong with that" Kay Springer www.showboatgsd.com Home of Multi BISS & Multi Group Winning Ch.
