WE HAVE TWO BRITTANY'S, RICKY & LUCY. THEY STAY OUTSIDE BETTER THAN HALF THE TIME, BUT SLEEP INSIDE AND ARE PRETTY MUCH KEPT INSIDE DURING EXTREMELY COLD OR HOT DAYS. IT HAS NOT AFFECTED THEIR HUNTING ABILITY AT ALL. THEY LOVE TO GET OUT AND HIT THE FIELDS HARD FOR HOURS AT A TIME. RICKY IS AN OBNOXIOUS BLOCKHEAD,THAT I WOULD NOT TRADE FOR A MILLION DOLLARS,BUT HE GOT THAT WAY NATURALLY AND NOT FROM BEING KEPT INSIDE. AND IT LOOKS LIKE, FROM THE RESPONSES, THAT YOU MIGHT BE KEEPING YOURS INSIDE ALSO.
GOOD LUCK..........
