why do you have a dog if you dont want him in the house???
and yess bring him in b4 1 of ur dog loving neighbors calls the cops on u.Comment -
He said 30 degrees not 0 degrees. Dogs can stay outside on 30 degrees.Comment -
Oh yeah Pavs... You sure about that. A 1 year old boxer who lives outside, I'm guessing under 50 pounds????
Does he have some sort of dog house at least???
If not do not be surprised to go outside to dead dog in the morning.Comment -
Bring him in.. People can survive outside sleeping in 30 degree's also, but that don't make it a good idea.. If you think he'll make a mess, lay down some paper and place him in your bathroom for the night and close the door.. If you have to ask if you should bring him in, then you know in your heart you should..

My aussie when he was 1 he spend the nights outside with 1 foot of snow in Illinois. It was less than 30 degrees. I suppose he has a dog house if he is a 100% outdoor dog.Originally posted by FishFace5Comment -
Ok Pavs as long as your confident hes gonna b fine.
Can I ask why either of you have ever had a dog that you kept permanently outside??Comment -
I hope no one takes offense to this but I think Dogs are useless fvcken animals and should be extinct.

I almost lost my life wen I was like 9 years old cuz of a fvcken dog. just last month, My nephew was waiting for his school bus and was chased by 2 dogs. Now he is fvcken scared to wait for the bus. I think he is scarred like me. I wish I can gather all dogs and put em in a building and blow them all to zillions of pieces.Originally posted by odusmykalComment -

Then i can respect your feelings on the matter.. If i ever experienced something like that, i'm sure i would feel the exact same.. I was just curious, but now i understand..Originally posted by pacoComment -
If you have to ask the question, I would bring him in...better to be safe.Comment -
yes dogs are only as good as who raised them. I can understand the people that have had bad experiences. they do bring alot of good and happiness to others. you even read in the papers how some wake their owners about a fire in the house, etcComment -
My dog

My son was attacked by our neighbors dog a few years back. He hates dogs to this day and I am scared of them. Having to watch my son with a dog at his neck scared me alot...I'm no little man but I felt defenseless. But that dog will not forget me, I'm sure.Originally posted by pacoComment -
My dog was a sheep herding dog. They were bread to run outside in the fields so I had him in the yard of my house to run freely and exercise. That's why he lived so long. If I wanted a poodle I would kept him in the house.Originally posted by FishFace5Comment -
Great looking dog Spartan!Comment -
I have a 5 year old Boxer, and I can say that boxers don't tolerate extreme temps very well. They are not outside dogs, you would think because of their German descent they could handle cold weather. They are brachycephalic dogs which doesn't work well in hot temps, since they can't handle overheating. They also have short coats that don't insulate them enough for winter conditions. The dog doesn't have to always stay inside but they should not be left out for extended periods of time.Comment -
There's a reason during the billions of years of evolution that dogs developed hair, some more than others. Chihuahuas are almost hairless because they are the only dog species native to Mexico & they can be in that climate year round without much fur. Most dogs though have thick coats & internally are able to regulate their body temperature because they lack the opposable thumbs to cut wood, hold hammers, & build a house, so for millions upon millions of years this animals ancestors found a way to make it the BRUTAL 2 degrees below freezing. I'm not sure but I heard there's even dogs in Alaska & the Arctic, Greenland & Siberia. But I'm sure they all have owners that let them in at 30 degrees, 24/7 10 months of the year. I mean, there's no such thing as WILD undomesticated dogs anymore............is threre?????Comment -
