Dog breeds for the outdoors?

[GabrielleC]

I don't happen to like the idia of a dog remaining out side. But if you must make sure that the coat will protect it from cold. You must keep an eye on the dog for hot spots fleas ticks and Meany other ailments. If the pet is wet for too long that can cause hot spots and infections and some times maggots. this is why I do not like the idia.

My dane how ever on warm days loves to sleep out in the sun all day long.

Beagles are great outdoor dogs but they are scent hounds so their nose will be glued to the ground the whole time. they're fantastic outdoors unless you want to let it off the leash. then don't get one cos they will disappear. Otherwise labradors are great too or rottweilers.

I would say labrador retrievers, german shepherds, and golden retrievers.

Try this website where you take a test and it shows you what breed you should have. it's:

any kind of retriever will work. I used to have a golden and she loved the outdoors. She loved every minute of it
