Some breeders on here have a lot of dogs in their homes with them. I know that keeping them in kennels isn't always a bad thing, but I'd prefer to buy a dog that's been socialized indoors, if that makes any sense. I also think they'll get more of the one-on-one attention that they want if they're kept indoors. where as if they're kept outside, then the owners/breeders may spend more time making sure the kennel is in good shape than, say, playing with the dogs. I hope this helps some.
