As somebody who takes care of one of these "Well loved outdoor dogs" beleive me, Its depressing to see hwta a dog goes through as an outdoor dog, even though it may get attention eveynow and them/ whatever. Its sick.
If you do indeed decide to get a dog for her. YOU CANNOT GET A LOW SHEDDING DOG AND KEEP IT OUTDOORS! A low shedding dog means that it has little to NO undercoat. Which does not protect a dog from cold/warm weahther or rain! YOu cannot have a short haired boxer or anything like that, because it will get cold faster.
Keeping a golden retriever outside is like keeping a child opoutside. They are waaay to faily oriented to keep outside.
If you were to keep a dog outside. I can honestly say that the only breed i would "Recomend " (I dont recomend any really, because its cruel, But to the ones that I cannot talk out of there dumbness, i do recomend) A husky. They are more equiped for the outdoors than most dogs. Either that or i recomend a stuffed dog thats left outdside. |
IMo some dogs are outdoor dogs, They get too hot indoors, pant alot , are uncomfortable. Our Abby ( an Australian shepherd hates inside. She get too hot and wants out out out!!!!!!! She loves the outdoors and loves to go to the barn and just roam around the farm, hates being in the house so we leave her alone. I',m just saying NOT all dogs like to be in the house, they would much rather play and explore the farm.......HAPPILY!!!!!!!!!
