I personally would never keep Levi inside 24/7. I live in an apartment (no real yard) and my parents live on a ton of unfenced farmland, so Levi can't really be unleashed a lot of the time, but he goes outside several times daily. We visit friends with fenced yards, we go on walks, we spend a lot of time at the dog park. Basically, I try as hard as I can to ensure that he can spend as much time enjoying the outdoors as possible. I can't imagine spending my entire life cooped up indoors, and I'd hate to do that to my dog. He's definitely happier outside (especially running around without a leash in a fenced-in area) than he is inside.
Unless there is a legitimate medical reason (and I'd investigate allergies, I feel like they could usually be managed enough to let the dog enjoy the outdoors) then I feel that it is unfair to keep a dog indoors all the time.
