If you normally take them outside then I would continue doing that, if they are cold get them a jacket. My girlfriend's dog gets cold when she has to take him out so we bought him a jacket so that he can be warmer.

Sassy goes on a WeeWee pad all year long. Since, when we got her we could n't train her to go outside because we were having our pool put in. So we stuck with that. You could try that.

No boys here. All of my friends dogs do though.

Well what are you doing now? Taking them outside -always to the same spot- is good. Not all male dogs put there legs up. And if they are nuetered young then that ussually doesn't happen.

I know that guide dogs male puppies are kept around female dogs so they squat to pee.

If you're just taking them outside to go to the washroom, they should be fine. I don't think they will freeze that quickly.

lol

Some male dogs squat, some lift their leg. Mickey rarely lifts his leg, but he doesn't squat either.. he pees like a horse, back legs extended. LOL

t.j will lift his leg when he isn't tired and when he is tired, he will do the same as mickey!!!

By my own admission, I'm no expert, but since I find dogs so habitual (once is cute, 2nd time, bad habit, as they say) if you're going to take them out, continue to do so, and not confuse them by also using pads indoors. Carry them to a preferred spot. (don't forget the "outie" treat afterwards)
My Cody was neutered at 7mo and only lifted his leg a teeny bit. The neighbor kids thought he was a sissy!
