\u00a0<\/span>Hi Everyone,<\/p>\n

It is the end of November in Northeastern Oklahoma, and it is time again to pull our dog houses out of storage and place them in the kennels.\u00a0 <\/span>After the 15th<\/sup> of November, we often get cold snaps in Oklahoma, which can include several days of freezing rain or even snow.\u00a0 <\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Our Heidelberg shepherds are well equipped to deal with the cold with their correct plush double-coats.\u00a0 <\/span>Likewise if your shepherd has a correct coat and no health problems, you will probably notice that when you crank up the heater they well probably ask to go outside more often than normal. \u00a0<\/span>This is because they have their winter coats on and cannot remove them as we remove our jackets upon entering the house.\u00a0 <\/span>Fortunately for our shepherds that are inside, my wife and I run a little hot and we keep our thermostat down during winter months.<\/p>\n

We place straw in our dog houses in our kennels to provide warm insulation for our shepherds. In addition, their runs are covered to protect against rain and snow.\u00a0 <\/span>We have found unless our shepherds are wet that they will not use their dog houses even in subzero temperatures.\u00a0 <\/span>We often have observed that our shepherds prefer to sleep on the snow rather than their well-insulated dog houses.<\/p>\n

Therefore, if they can stay dry and out of the wind and your German shepherd is healthy and correctly coated, they comfortably can withstand subfreezing temperatures .\u00a0 <\/span>Actually you may find that they prefer and are much more comfortable outside during the winter months than they are\u00a0 <\/span>inside your cozy warm house.\u00a0 <\/span>Remember to always provide fresh unfrozen water for your shepherd during the winter months because they will get dehydrated almost as quickly as they would in the summer.<\/p>\n

If you are considering getting a German shepherd puppy consider getting one of our older puppies and save a little money on some very high quality shepherds.<\/p>\n

Please continue to check out our web page as we post updates on available litters: https:\/\/kgsd.inventivehorizons.com\/PuppiesForSale.htm<\/a>. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span>We have several wonderful puppies that that are ready to go home.<\/p>\n

Ask me a Question and I will provide my opinion. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Also, please see our web page: KeystoneGermanShepherds<\/a><\/p>\n

Sincerely,<\/p>\n
