DeanD 3 Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 Keep as many as possible together in the same kennel, provide plenty of bedding material and make it as draft free as possible. I keep three adults together and use loads of straw for bedding. Keep fresh water available as much as possible, it actually cuts down on the amount of feed your dogs will need believe it or not. jmo... Quote Link to post
