Most dogs adapt well to outdoor living as long as they have access to shelter.
Though you probably aren't a skilled home builder, you will find building a home for your four-legged family member a great way to exercise your creativity. Build a doghouse that fits your dog. The bigger the dog, the bigger the doghouse. When your dog is standing up, measure her from the top of her front shoulder to the ground. Then tell her to sit and measure her from the top of the head to the ground.
