I agree that you should allow the pup indoors. I don't understand why you got her if you knew she would be too big for your home? What purpose is there for the dog? The heat will be to much and you will have an untrained, u nsocialized and unhappy dog.
I lived in a huge rental home when my boys were brought home (2800) square foot and enjoyed the space very much. It was a long term rental that intended to stay in until I had a home on the 3 acres however after living there for 3 years ....the landlord decided to default on the home and I was given a very short time to find another rental home that would accept two giant, intact dogs. An English Mastiff that is well over 200 pounds and a Great Dane that is right at 180 pounds. Good credit, great income, awesome references from previous landlord and my vet but nobody wanted to rent to me with the dogs. I found a very small three bedroom two bath house with a privacy fenced yard for 1200.00 dollars a month (nearly as much as I was paying for the big house) after talking to every realtor in town and private landlords. Anyway, I went from 2800 square feet to about 900 and never even considered the dogs being too big. They are family, they belong inside. I went from a double king bed that I shared with them to a regular king ...a lot of my furniture is in storage until I get my house done but the dogs do fine in this little house.....we are all still very happy and very much a family.
There is IMO no such thing as an outside dog. Either you want a family member or you choose not to get a dog. Please think about how you would feel out in the weather, isolated from your family and then let your pup inside.
