Keeping a dog in the yard
Tell me, is it possible to keep a purebred dog in the courtyard of a private house, given that it has a special enclosure? But the problem is that this enclosure is not insulated, how will the dog survive the cold?

In addition to the enclosure, the dog must have a warm booth, and it is made small in size so that the dog can lie comfortably on its side in it. An animal in such a booth will not freeze, even in severe frost. True, smooth-haired dogs, such as Dobermans, cannot be kept outside.
In winter it can even be -45 here. All dogs tolerate frost well, but each has a spacious kennel, with a thick bedding made of soft hay. And the Newfie mixed breed and the Caucasian Shepherd generally prefer to sleep in the snow.
You definitely need an insulated booth so that there are no drafts there. A well-fed animal will not freeze there. However, in severe frosts we always take the dog indoors. Just like chickens. Our animals are dear to us
