Question
I just got a pit bull it is 7 weeks old.  I was wondering if it would be
an issue with cold weather would be able to go out side i live in
eastern canada it is not cold right now but it does get to around
-10 would that be an issue for walking the dog mind you i am not
just going to be leaving the dog out side for 8 hours but walking  
and thing like that would you recommend dog cloths. or will it be
Okay .   Also at what age do the dogs usually become house trained     
.

Answer
Housetraining will take a little bit. If you work at it, it will be faster....but usually around 3 - 5 months old. The cold MAY be an issue. I got my puppy a sweatshirt at Goodwill for $2.50  You may want to save walks for nice weather and during the cold, only go potty outside, excercize inside.
