What is reasonable temperature to have a two year Cane Corso outside? Dog is house trained, but likes to be outside. Have dog house and large yard. Also, I like the breed Cane Corso. If you own one, feel free to tell me about unique things about your dog. Training etc...

Above 20 degrees.

If you can have a dog door installed it won't matter the temperature as the dog can come in and out as it pleases. Otherwise, anything below 50 degrees wind chill and you should consider bringing him in. His coat is not made for harsh winters.

I agree with Dave, any tempurature over 20 degrees farenheight and under 70 degrees farenheight.Good Luck!

It isn't the actual temp that matters, it is the temp that the dog is acclimated to that matters.If you keep the dog in an 80 degree house 24/7 there is no way that the dog would be able to handle the cold like even a littermate that lived in a 40 degree yard 24/7.I work my dogs in sub zero temps all the time, that's when snowshoe hunting is at it's best.
