And I think, from what you've said before, your puppies get to experience indoor life and all the noises and smells of a home before they go to their forever homes?

Personally I would never keep dogs outside because I like them in my home but I bet these conditions are a million miles from how your dogs live. Also your dogs are far more suited to living outside compared to small less hardy breeds aren't they?

It sounds like someone local knew they were going to be otherwise engaged that day, hopefully it's someone who has tried to help the dogs the legal way and has given up and done it the underhand way.

They are born in the house and then live in the kitchen for the first 4 weeks, then go outside during the day and back in at night for a couple of weeks before being outside full time.
However 'outside' means heat lamps, rubber matting and fresh shavings down, also insulated kennels with insulated floors, not exactly roughing it!!!
I think given the right conditions any dog can live outside, my dobies all did, but they have to be warm and dry and properly fed and kept clean.
Also they go out regularly and I train, so they don't sit looking at the same 4 walls day in day out.

And you can tell by those pictures that the same could not be said for those puppies. Bloody Daily Fail completely missed the point there. I bet they have been liberated rather than stolen.

Like I said before, I know that some dogs are kennel dogs and live happy lives and it seems that you provide your dogs with everything they need to do exactly that

But I do disagree that any dog can be a kennel dog. Mine would never make it. And some dogs are just way to attached to their people to be kennel dogs. We had a German shepherd when I was a kid that hated the county life and my Cody wouldn´t even sleep in a tent with me. She was insulted and took a beeline for the bed inside the house the next morning

Yeah, I think my two would be happy in insulated heated kennels if there were sofas in there, and four walls and windows.....umm and if they had a human to cuddle most of the time..lol.
