You want to bring your dog inside when it gets below freezing but other that that it's worse on them bringing them in. Spending the day outside and the night in can make them sick. All you need is a dog house and straw. Labs can really handle cold weather. You'd be surprised at how well. I have seen them go in water in the dead of winter. I have a mixed breed..she is husky, GSD and retriever..although she doesn't look or act like she has any shepherd in her. We live in Indiana and cold weather or not she goes in the water. She hates being inside. She would much rather be outside playing and running. So your lab will be just fine and will probably enjoy the winter as much as summer..oh one more thing..It would also be a good idea to put a flap on the front of the dog house to keep the wind out. And you don't want the dog house overly huge because it's harder for them to keep it warm with their body heat..
