For one reason or another, you might be thinking about keeping your dog outside all year round. If you’re choosing to keep your pet outside through summer and winter, you need to know if they can handle the temperature and weather. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, can an American Bully live outside?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a general rule, american bullies shouldn’t live outside or remain outdoors for long periods. American Bullies are a shorthair breed, they\u2019re more likely to develop hypothermia in cold weather. They\u2019re also prone to overheating in the heat if left without shade and water. <\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Let’s take a closer look at American Bullies and their tolerance for outdoor living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why People Put Their Dogs Outside All Year<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
For many people, it’s not an option for their dogs to live outside all year long, and they can’t understand why people would do it. Sometimes, it’s not so simple, and it can be heartbreaking for pet owners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Often, when a dog is living outside, it’s because someone in the home is allergic to them. Many people feel that if that’s the case, the dog shouldn’t be with that family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, some allergies can develop later on in life. Usually, people will outgrow their allergies by the time they’re in their 20s. But unfortunately, increased exposure to a dog’s dander can cause new allergies to develop later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This new development could happen years after both the dog and the family have bonded. While many still feel the dog should be rehomed, that can be a difficult and painful decision to make. This often results in the dog living outside all year long. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
