Question
hello dear i want got know if golden retrieval are puppy this out side heat how much temperature heat their body can take out side in the yard

Answer
Hi, Chanchal,

Dogs in general are very susceptible to heat stroke.  If they are outside for any length of time, they need adequate shade/shelter and PLENTY of clean water.

Golden retrievers do not make good outside dogs, even though they are "sporting" dogs.  They like being around their people too much.  Goldens, and most other dogs, who are left unattended for long periods outside become bored and lonesome and look for ways to entertain themselves, such as digging, barking, jumping the fence.

Goldens are such sociable and lovable dogs, in my opinion it would be a shame and a crime to keep one, much less a PUPPY, outside by itself.

I'm including some information that I hope will be helpful:
