Depends what weather temp. the dog is used to. With Ca. temp her coat would not get real- real thick I wouldn't think.
My dog is yellow-lab and ? husky ? shepherd. And he is in the house much of the time but he loved it out last evening and it was 17 above but with the wind was -5 below and loves to lay in the snow. His bed is on the floor and right by the heat vent! 40 degrees sounds pretty nice about now.
And welcome Network23!! This is a fun place for all animal lovers.
