i do plan to leave our gsd outside some when we arent home- we are on 28 acres - house 800 ft off road with a 3/4 acre 6 ft fenced backyard- our min schnauzer is back there and does fine- when our now 12 week old puppy gets to the point age wise and i know him and his behaviors well enough to feel okay leaving him outside while i grocery shop or whatever , he will be outside unsupervised- he will have water/ food/ toys - a playmate - shade / sun /grass and an igloo doghouse / patios both covered and uncovered- i wont leave him out there until i feel safe doing so - if after much observing i never feel safe leaving him out alone for 2-3 hrs then i wont do it-
