Dogs can not take extreme conditions even if they are used to being outside. That crazy 100-plus heat is not made for them. They need assessable shade & water if nothing else. A fenced yard instead of a chain is much more humane also.

When I grew up we had a poodle inside for my mom & my dad had a hunting dog outside, who he bred a couple of times. When it was blazing hot or frigid cold, Shawnie Jo - the German Shorthair Pointer got to come inside - she was a horse & just went crazy wild with excitement with being with all of us. But she was protected from the severe elements. There was at least one time she had pups in the winter and they all came into the house or the pups would have died.

Puppies certainly do not belong outside for hours on end outside in that type of heat!

I wouldn't do business with anyone who is an irresponsible pet owner, parent or human either!
