Great Pyrs are bred to be working flock guardian dogs, originating from the Pyrenan (can't spell it) mountains. They can handle the cold, no worries. They have a double coat that is heavily insulated, and they are bred for cold, snowy regions. My Pyrs ignore the warm barns in the winter and choose a high spot in the pasture, where the wind is ugly, and sleep there. In the morning they will be covered in snow, it's quite a sight to see them shake the snow off and go play.

Chihuahuas do not do well in the bloodless even though Pugs don't look to be afflicted with the aid of it as much. Should you do, possibly you could wrap up a scorching water bottle and put in the kennel with the canine with a thick blanket. If in case you have a sweater for the canine, that would be excellent too. Simply ask your self for those who could be comfy slumbering in a storage if it had been fifty three degrees. Animals get cold too.

Chihuahuas do not do nicely interior the chilly even regardless of the reality that Pugs do not seem afflicted by technique of it as a lot. in case you do, per chance you are able to wrap up a warm water bottle and put in the kennel with the canines with a thick blanket. once you've a sweater for the canines, that should be good too. in simple terms ask your self in case you need to be mushy drowsing in a storage if it were fifty 3 ranges. Animals get chilly too.

I was a breeder for 10 years. You are harming them by putting them inside. Leave them out. They will find a place where they are comfortable. Just make sure to provide them with a place that is DRAFT FREE. It can be a lean to or something simple. They may not ever use it, but if the weather gets really nasty they will appreciate it. Mine spent the night on the ground covered with snow and loved it. But, I had never let them in. They had great coats. Mine were working dogs on a farm, but never came into the barn.

Being a large breed, Pyr's are not recommended for apartment life. They do need space, not necessarily a farm but at least an averaged-sized yard. Pyr's do prefer the cooler climates. They can developed skin problems if they don't have enough shade in the hotter months.
These dogs do not reach maturity until they are about 2 years old. Most are not good off the leash and may wander away.
The Great Pyrenees tends to bark ALOT!.....I mean...Can you handle a dog, who will bark at a leaf that dares to fall on your property? If not don't get a Pyr.
How close are your neighbours? Will they have a problem with their barking? ...... They tend to bark more at night. The amount of barking varies from individual to individual, but they all bark to some extent. If you live in urban or suburban settings, your Pyr must be kept indoors at night to avoid problems with neighbours.
Some have looser lips and tend to drool and slobber. But all will dribble water across your floor after a drink. Keep the mop handy! ;)
The Pyrenees sheds..... ALOT!
If you cannot handle white tuffs of hair on your floors, furniture or clothes, don't get a Pyr.
Do to their independent nature, it is important for you the owner to assure this dog that YOU are infact the boss of the house....not them.

They should do great. If you are worried about the concrete floor feeling cold, then pick up a few bags of cedar for kennels. Those are wonderful dogs and easily adaptable to winter.

You can also drape a blanket over the kennel to help keep heat in and around them if you're worried. They won't be able to tear that up.
I'm sure they're fine, you've taken steps to be sure they're comfortable.

If they have good shelter and maybe a blanket to curl up on they should be fine.My jack russell stays outside and he does fine.

Surely they are fine, remember dogs lived many many years outdoors before now. It sounds like they are just fine, I dont think you have any worries about the animals.
