My dad's boxer is primarily an outside dog, but he's got a garage with a space heater for the night time. I hope that someone can enlighten this pet owner.
I think conditions like that are totally different. Weather in California and weather in Michigan and Canada are a lot different. I could understand a dog living outside in California where it is nice most of the time, but here in Chicago it is bitter cold. If I can't stand to walk from the house to the car in the cold, then what does a poor dog feel like that lives outside all the time. Here is a post that some of you may want to read. I made it a long time ago, but this is how I took "care" of my neighbors outside dog. click here
