Hi,
We recently bought a puppy from a farm here in Holland. The pups had been living outside in an old chicken run. She was 8 weeks old. When I brought her home she stayed the first two nights downstairs in the living room with my daughter. We then placed her in her kennel outside, and some teddy bears and mats etc so that she wouldn't be lonely. She cried for the first night but after that slept outside perfectly. She now knows that after her walk in the dark, she gets some treats and is tucked in, in her kennel and then the door is locked and the lights turned off. When she hears the key in the lock in the morning she wakes up and wags her tail greeting you. She's brill.
My question is living in Holland our winters are not particularly cold and she as she will be sleeping inour annex outside which is protected from the elements, what would be best for her, a quilt, straw or just a selection of cushions so that she may tunnel underneath them for comfort.

Quilt and cushions would seem about right.

It will really depend on exactly how cold it gets and what type of hair she has. I would recommend bringing her in at night in the winter. If that is not a possibility then I would get her cedar shavings and blankets and see which one she likes better.

My question to you is why have a dog if you keep it outside constantly??
Dogs are pack animals and love to be with their families. Eventally you will lead into problems with the dog, like destructive behavior to aggression. Do her a favor and make her part of the family at all times.

inside your house would be best. Dogs are pack animals and want to be inside with their families.
