I don't want to make you feel bad but probably not. If you read the breed information, they prefer being inside dogs.
"Although they were originally developed as farm dogs, they do best when housed indoors and treated as one of the family. These are people dogs and will always want to be where the family is. They will not do as well in outside kenneling situations and most breeders recommend that they sleep indoors, in the owner's bedroom."
They do better in the cold than the heat.
"Wheatens are good in cooler climates and are popular in such northern countries as Canada, Sweden, Norway, and Finland. Normal cold weather care should be taken, including regular inspection of pads for iceballs. As mentioned above, they are mostly indoor dogs and most of them enjoy excursions into cold and snowy weather.
They do not do as well in hot weather and may be noticeably less active. They should always be given access to both shade (if outdoors) and water and strenuous exercise should be avoided. Indoors, they may prefer to lie on cool tiles or linoleum, sometimes in bathrooms. Trimming the coat slightly shorter is OK, but not so much that the sun can reach the skin."

It's the lack of attention that is so sad. I have the same situation. My neighbor's dog is well taken care of when it comes to food, water, medical care, he has a place to run and he is brought in at night (caged) but he is neglected. He is alone all day, every day. The kids play with him for what amounts to minutes a month, if that. It breaks my heart since mine are so spoiled and we see him just begging for attention. I tried to help once (I'd explain but this is long enough), it didn't work out.
I don't understand why people get a dog if they never want to spend time with it.
