Most owners seem to use either hay or straw for bedding along with an old blanket.Its also a good idea in colder areas to put some straw or hay bales around the sides of the dog house as added insulation as well. Labs are sturdy dogs & should survive a few hours outdoors regardless of the weather as long as they have somewhere cosy to snuggle up to sleep!!

Ideal here. In your dog house make a seperate dept. and put in a heat bulb to keep them warm. It works! but, make sure you make a little dept. with some holes in so the heat can get thru it. and this way the light is not bright in the dog box. put it in the back so you can get to easy from the back when make a hole to put the heat bulb. also, don't get a high power heat bulb. low power will work great. His hunting dogs stay out all winter and the house was plenty warm all the time. hope this helps. My Grandfather was a fox hunter and He dogs to keep warm.

They have a large fenced yard, dog house, covered porch, and trees to protect them. But they are "furry" breeds with heavy coats. Not little yappy dogs that would freeze. LOL Your labs should be fine. My dogs have always been outdoors during the day while I’m at work. They have a large fenced yard, dog house, covered porch, and trees to protect them.
