Winter proof dog houses
I live in central NY and would like to know and see some pictures of what everyone has for weather-winter proof dog houses. I dont want to build a big shed to attach the the kennels right now so looking for dog houses that can take -11 degrees in the winter with the wind chill.

You can make your own quite easily and a whole lot cheaper.

It's not how many breaths you have taken but how many times it has been taken away!
Has anyone noticed common sense isn't very common anymore.

Re: Winter proof dog houses
I don't have specific plans, but I built my own. Mine was overkill. 2" foam board all around, sandwiched by 1/2" plywood inside and out. Big enough floor plan to have a vestibule with partition to keep a draft off. I used a K9 Kondo door. With cedar shavings they're toasty proving their own heat by alone themselves.
*Last Sentence Translated-
With cedar shavings they stay nice and toasty providing their own body heat. I increase their rations by 15-20%.
