He has a dog house and I run extension cords to it for a heat lamp. He doesn't come out of his house when it's cold now! If that isn't an option, then definitely a nice enclosed dog house with hay, alot of blankets/old comforters and dress him in a good warm doggy blanket.

Yea, he's pretty far up the hill from the house. His kennel is up by the horse barn. It's about 6 acres of property. The house is a mobile home near the front of the property & the barn is about in the middle. I would need a super long extention cord, that would have to handle being driven over by cars. I was thinking of making a dog house & getting some type of insulation from Home Depot. He doesn't chew on anything so that should be a safe idea.

I was in the same boat with my dogs... I didn't want them in my house! We pulled the horse trailer up next to the house and put in a heat lamp for them with extra blankets and a tarp over half of it because it's a stock trailer. Worked great ... dogs starting keeping us up all night barking at the coyotes and whatever else was creeping around so now they are inside the house at night and the chickens inherited the heat lamp in their coop..
