Words of caution regarding winter weather. Short-haired dogs have little protection against wind and low temperatures. They ought not be left out unattended. Double-coated dogs should have access to a dog house with an opening opposite the wind. A small enclousure allows a dog to better trap body heat. The opening should have a burlap flap or other covering. Watch for frozen water in bowl. Better still, on blustery nights bring your dog in the hours or garage. WOOF!
