I don't understand the question. Is your child allergic to dog fur? It is never a good idea to keep a dog outside. If you are concerned about fur, I would just be sure to vacuum regularly and brush your dog often.
2 :
No, of course not. Unless your children are allergic, then dog fur and dander is actually *better* for their health. Having them exposed to these things will make their immune systems stronger.

That would be a terrible thing to do to a long time family companion, that's probably near the end of his years. Is your child allergic? If he is, be diligent about cleaning the hair and brushing your dog and possibly giving your child allergy meds. If he's not, what's the problem? A little hair never hurt anybody.

Unless your child is allergic, of course not. Be sure to vaccum regularly to pick up all the excess fur.. If your dog is long haired you could also have him/her shaved especially in the summer. But no, leaving a dog outside is never a good idea

Keeping the dog outside is a very bad idea. Im assuming the dog has been inside most of his life and at 11 years old it is not good to change his whole life. Its not fair to him. I would suggest shaving the dog and vaccuuming alot. Although the dog might not look as pretty, if you love him it won't matter what he looks like as long as he gets to stay inside and have all the love he always had from you.

I addiction to vacuuming and brushing , try buying air purifiers and change your furnace's filter often.

So far I'm agreeing with almost every answer. If your child is not allergic there shouldn't be a problem. Brush your pet regularly and clean the dog hair from furniture, floors, etc on a regular basis. If the child is allergic, cleaning often will help, maybe keep the dog and child separated as much as possible, but don't kick the dog out of the house.

If your child has no symptoms of allergies, there is no reason to put the dog outside. If your child is having allergy symptoms, it is up to you to decide waht to do about it. Throwing the dog outside after living indoor for its whole life could be dangerous, and the dog could get very upset. However, I can understand you not wanting your child to be drugged up just to be comfortable in their house. If your child has asthma, I can definitely understand putting the dog out it it has caused attacks. If your child is having problems, talk to their doctor. You may be able to find a dru that works without too many side effects. It could be that something else is causing or is aggrivating your childs allergies. Carpeting in their room or around that house may be holding the dander enough to cause worse symptoms. They also hold dust mites and their feces, which cause allerigies ina lot of people. Try brushing the dogs fur out and vaccuming more. You may also decide that it is best to just keep the dog outside or to give it to another family. You need to take care of the dog, but you also need to care for your child. Explore your options and see whats right for you.

I'm not sure I understand your question. Is your child allergic to the dog? Has a physician tested your child and determined that the dog must go for the sake of your child's health? ...... If so, then it's pretty basic that a child ranks higher in the pack than the dog. You can discuss treatments for your child with the physician ... in hopes of keeping the dog inside as well. If someone told you that dog fur is bad for your child's health, what evidence do they have to support their theory? Outside of allergies, I have never seen dog fur have an adverse effect on a child. The benefits of having a pet far outweigh the necessity to vacuum more often.

It is a medically proven fact that kids, especially boys, raised with dogs are less prone to having allergies than kids not raised around dogs. If your kids aren't allergic, bring the dog inside where a companion should be.
