I have always let my dogs go out in even 100+ weather for a pottying and exercise any time during the day. They don't overheat that easily that you can't even take them out for a little while. Just don't stay long and usually the dog will regulate his own level of activity, slowing it down quickly after an initial burst of play, get his business done and often they are ready to come on in fairly quickly, especially an AC hog like Tibbe. I've lived in North Texas and Houston and both get really hot but have never had a dog with any form of heat problem.
