Ours is sposed to be outdoors, but he's a bit of both. Problem we have is Cane toads as in the UK my dog would play with frogs, but obv Cane toads are a danger so we aint taking the chance!
We have a yapper next door too so are considering moving and a house we've looked at is ok with dogs indoors so they are out there! ...

Whatever dog I get, it has to be a bit of both I think. I want one who will be happy outside for most of the time and that way, we keep sweet with the landlord. I also just want a dog I can walk for miles with ... The shelters up here are full of tiny little dogs and they just don't feel right to me.
I need a hunka chunka sort of guy.

He's still not really agreed to a dog properly, but he'll be the owner of one tomorrow.
He's not a doggy person... he doesn't know ... yet!

I think the trick is to get your house with the 'outdoor dog permission' and then it 'may' just come inside ... ooh, every so often.... like, every day!
I'm sure you'll be fine... pet dogs are so common here now - they didn't use to be but things are changing.

The Kennel Club of GB will recommend 2 breeds as 'good with children' and the Staffy is one of them!
My other half wasn't a lover of dogs and it took me about 15 years to get her to finally give in and let us get a dog. Now she too wouldn't be without him! The funny thing is sometimes when out with him a big dog will come over and she'll hold onto my arm as she's still frightened of big dogs. The owners are always confused as we have a Staffy, how can she be scared of dogs? ...
... but she's just got used to him and we've had him from 8 weeks!

Re: Dogs and landlords ...
This was him the day before we picked him up, aged about 8 weeks:
And this was a couple of years ago, aged about 3:
We had murders with jabs and the vet literally weeks before we came here and I was willing to stay behind with him for up to 6 months till he was ready to go! ...
I think many on here thought we was crazy, but he's our baby and we couldn't go without him.
All turned out in the end tho! ...

Plenty to keep you busy when you're settled Dolly!
