I have my sons big dog here and it seems the dog isn't going anywhere soon. He's a sweet heart but he's a lab/husky mix. You talk about shedding, yikes. I'm done with dog hair all over my stuff and my house. The big dog stays outside and Roxie is in of course. It's just the way it is and dogs really don't care that much. They pretty much do what the pack leader says. Besides if I let the big dog come in he'll shred and chew up all of Roxie's toys. It works fine in the winter because our garage is heated and it's nice and cool in the summer with plenty of access to fresh water and food. We also have a fan going out there. He can go in and out of the garage all day as he wishes. He doesn't seem to mind it and still loves us as much as Roxie loves us. They even play with each other like buds. Besides it's a pecking order thing too. Even siblings don't get to do all of the same things. One might be too old, too young, too big or too small. What's sometimes fair in our minds is not always the same in a dogs mind. Now in their minds if you give one a treat and not the other...that's not fair lol! This is just my opinion on the subject maybe everyone doesn't agree.
