Hello! This was the first thread I read.... So, these are my thoughts: You only talked about the weather-conditions this dog will have to deal with. My first thought was "What will be the life, this dog has to deal with?" He can´t come to the home of the new owner, because of the 6 other dogs. He will not have a companion, he will not have a family. Just a "job" in the heat...... For one of my dogs this would be far to little for a happy life. Just my 2 cents. Claudia
