One great aspect of pit bulls is the fact that they have short coats and don\u2019t shed much. Obviously, this is ideal if you aren\u2019t interested in dealing with a house covered in fur. However, it also means that pit bulls are primarily house dogs.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-4\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"margin: 50px 0px 40px; clear: both;\">\n<h2 id=\"what-temperature-is-too-hot-for-pitbulls\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_temperature_is_too_hot_for_pitbulls\"><\/span>What temperature is too hot for pitbulls?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In general, with plenty of water, air circulation, and shade, most dogs will probably do okay in warm temperatures up to about 90\u02daF.

There is not a hard and fast temperature that makes it too hot, but a good rule of thumb is 90 degrees and higher is too hot.
