Face it, dogs are nasty and ought to live outside in kennels. If you have a dog in your house, you may not smell or notice it, but everyone else who comes in your home will notice it smells like a dog pen and wonder about the hairball dust bunnies under all the furniture.
All the sporting breeds I know of shed and if you don't believe it clean the coils under your refrigerator! You may think you're cleaning up all the shed hair, but you better have your wife check the back of that blue blazer you are wearing before your 8:30 meeting at the Bank.
House dogs are nicely socialized though, and still make great working dogs. Why not keep'em in the pen and just bring'em in sometimes on cold nights for a while to photograph on the rug in front of the fireplace? I keep trying to convince my wife of all that, but she still likes to keep the furball inside all the time and bring in the Wirehair and Lab every night for 'family time'...Geo
