Bring them all in the house in a safe, warm secure area. You won't be stressing the puppies or mom out at all - I'm sure they'll be grateful.

Bring them inside to a warm and secure area where mother and babbies can be to themselves. I must warn you though, there have been times when the mother becomes over protectant of the puppies and tries to bite. Maybe taking some food for her to snack on while you move everybody indoors might be a good idea.

Bring them all in! Unless of course, you have a problem with them being in the house & it will cause unnecessary stress. Otherwise, mom & those pups are at a higher risk than normally for death after birth. Don't second guess yourself - you're already thinking you should then do it!

Bring 'em in! I would.
If possible a mud room or something out of the way would be best. We had a box and blankets in our heated garage for our dog and her pups.

I would bring them in. New Born's should be in a nice warm draft free place. They can get sick very easy and die.
Make sure she has a spot to nest and keep her pups together and warm. Also you want it to be some what quit so she can rest in peace.

Try and provide some sort of heating in there housing or if you cant they are giong to have to come indoors place them in a welping box near a heat source.

I've seen puppies freeze to death overnight, bring your dogs inside. They don't belong outside anyway.
