Evan G. brought up a great point that I was also pondering as soon as I read your e-mail. My question is, how cold is cold enough for the dog to build a great base coat. I have a side room that I could keep my dogs in at night and keep the temperature much lower than the rest of the house. Are temperatures in the 50's low enough overnight or should it be in the 40's to get the coat thick. I live in very cold climate- Buffalo NY area- but do not keep my dogs outside overnight. Part of the problem are Deer, Fox, and Rabbits. We have even had a black bear roaming within a mile of my yard, so not looking to keep dogs outside. Any animal moving around at night results in barking from my Dogs, just to scare them away. I do live in a suburban neighborhood and that barking would definitely disturb my neighbors who are within 100 yards on each side of the house. Any feedback would be welcomed.
