Dogs are pack animals. They need to be with their pack. Once you adopt a dog YOU and your family become its pack. That means keeping the dog where you are, not ouside tied to a house. If you're planning to keep a dog outside all the time and never let it in the house, don't get a dog. Our shelters here (which are no-kill) will not let you adopt if you plan to keep the dog outside because it is even worse for them than being stuck in the shelter.
The only exception I can see is on a farm if the dog sleeps in the stable and is around other animals.
