Tina,

Do the dogs have shelter outside, such as a dog house filled with straw?

past?a vet told me
you shouldn't leave a dog of any breed or size out for long periods in 
weather colder than
20 degrees as they can suffer from frostbite and such just like people.? As a 
result, I
left the dogs inside when I went to work because the high today came at 
1:00 am and that
was 22 degrees.? I really don't like leaving them inside though, they don't 
have the same
"freedom" they have in their runs.

may be opinion
based, I think our breed is considered "hard" so does that make them 
tougher than average
in cold weather?? Obviously the arctic breeds should be able to be out in 
super cold, and
thin haired breeds shouldn't be out long even at 30 degrees.? At this point, 
I'm only
concerned about my dogs.
