Hello everyone!
Its been very cold here in Pa going down to 6 degrees in the evening. Yesterdays high was 21 degrees. We have two Kangal (Anatolian Shepherd) puppies 9 months old and 5 large poodles. These dogs don't mind the cold and even play in the snow for hours. They have a dog door so they can let themselves in and out and most of their time is outside.
Our 11 week old dane wants to be outside with them. However after a few minutes outside begins to shiver so we bring him in. He is wearing 2 sweaters. I read somewhere that danes lack a subcutaneous fat layer so they get cold easily.
What has been your experience with your dane being outside in the cold?
Thanks and God Bless, Alexus
