Nothing wrong with giving dogs as much comfort as you can it does not turn them into faggots because you give them abit of heat or suddenly start jacking i feel bad now for cleaning them out changing there water everyday turning the heat lamps on in winter infact i might just go outside and kick the shiote outta them just to toughen them up I may not be an expert with running dogs but I know my hunters and gun dogs. I want them well fed, watered, dry and warm, especially when I'm asking a lot of them physically during cold months. Quicker recovery time too. Just my pansy opinion though!! :D
