Most Pyrs would rather be inside in the air conditioning during the
summer. That said, plenty do well outside 24-7 as working dogs. He will
love a plastic wading pool, and be sure that he has a shaded area with
good air circulation. And remember that Pyrs, especially males, will
drop a *ton* of coat by summer. It will come off by the garbage bag full
and will need to be brushed/raked out well.
