If you find it in the morning and it doesn't move, then it's probably frozen..

My parents have a poodle and it does fine outside and we live in Alaska. Granted it doesn't stay out all night, but I think it would be fine if something happened. It's about 9lbs and has a full coat.

Yes, it will be fine, as long as it's not shaved. 34f is not that cold.

My dogs spend 99% of their time outside. They made it just fine through 5f nights last week (with shelter).

I have a Rotty mix and a Pitbull mix.

Absolutely. They were originally bred as hunting dogs, and they make great pets. My family has a miniature poodle and now three standard poodles- our oldest standard is about 2 years old, and absolutely huge, but they are all playful.

And they sure are delicious. Some olive oil, salt and pepper, a hot grill... yum.

It'd probably survive outside for a long time with no problems....but somebody would probably kick it within minutes, so the overall outlook is grim.

if it was an adult dog with a full could it should have been fine.

Contrary to popular belief, dogs did used to live in the great outdoors. We let our dogs sleep inside during the winter, but they are still outside for a lot of the time. Add to the fact that I'm in Montana and it can get down to -20F and lower. Dogs are smart. They find a way to stay warm, just like you would.

It's not a very ugly dog. There are plenty of others that are worse. What are those crappy dogs called, pomeranians? :shudder: Those things suck.

Stop lying to yourself. That dog is UGLY.

Why do people have to be such ASS HATS?? What a sad world we live in when a really sad and scared person is very upset at the loss of a practically family member. So much so that they take to social media to ask questions. And there's ALWAYS those few who just have to put others down. It probably makes you guys feel better to put others down because for the few minutes it take to write up your post, you don't have your mind on your own sorry ass existence and screwed up life!

I know I'm totally the pot calling the kettle black. BUT....
OH
EFFING
WELL!!

Happy Holidays Everyone!!!
