All my dogs have there own house, but this fall I built a big house to sleep all 3. When its cold they naturally pile into the big house. Its funny going out to feed em, give a whistle, and see 2 heads pop out, the third hound jump out, run up to eat, and sprint back to the dog house as soon as her food bowl is clean.

I was concerned with the cold temps so i crawed in the house myself. warm enough i could have taken my jacket off and took a nap. Plenty of straw, fresh water, and good feed goes a long way.
