Outdoor time - Guidelines based on temp?

[friskypanda]

I'm an instruction/formula/guidelines type of person. I'm trying to find a chart, or something, to gauge how much outside time my dog should have based on the outside temp.
I've seen something like this for kids on daycare licensing websites (no more than 15 min at 90 degrees), but can't find anything for dogs. Any ideas?

What kind of dog do you have? If it's a short nosed breed that is going to change my answer significantly.

It's about about 85 my Frenchie goes down the stairs, does his business, and comes back up. That's it.

If it's under 70 we can do a 30 minute walk no problem.

Between 70 and 85 I have to gauge how hard he's panting and go from there.

She's a German shepherd...or at least looks like one.

Depends on the type of dog and what they are acclimated to.

I have to keep my house set at 68 degrees or my german shepherd won't eat. Seriously. I am freezing right now and it's about 90 outside.

If he's outside, I am too, so I can tell if he's getting hot and needs to come in.
