Don't tell my two Chessies this! They are both inside dogs, sleep in the bed with my wife and I and wouldn't have it any other way. Exercise? We hunt in excess of 100 days a season and the only time they're not "working" is March 1 to the second week in June. My dogs are lap dogs, couch dogs, follow you to the bathroom dogs and very spoiled. Saying that dogs should be kenneled, housed or kept in a run is to err. It comes down to the individual dog and the owner, and in my case, the dogs are MY owner.

Personally, I wouldn't have it any other way and I'm sure everyone here feels the same with their own situation.
