There are a lot of breeds that locking them away and not socializing them will lead them to be hyper-aggressive. Since humans feed them, they aren't afraid of humans, but they also don't feel any bond to them. In fact, if the humans that DID tend them are in any way abusive, they might feel quite the opposite--that humans are a threat.

We've run into that problem with a lot of Koreans who bring their Jindos into the country and expect to treat them the way they always have. Problem is that you can't really get away with not socializing your dog. Our Jindo isn't well socialized, but she trusts us to make the determination as to who is and who isn't okay. That's because she LIVES with us...not in the yard.

Many in rescue consider "outside" dogs a kind of neglect. It prevents good bonding between human and animal.
