Got a question for anyone who may be able to help:
I had an English Setter for the last 12 years and had to put him down in August. I then picked up a 2 year old Shorthair. I have hunted behind GSP's before but never owned one. My setter had (and my GSP now has) and outdoor kennel that has a dog door going into the garage (insulated).
I cannot use blankets, rugs, etc. in the doghouse (located inside the garage) as he will chew it to shreds in no time. What I have done is strung a radiant heat lamp, similar to the food warming lights used in restaurants, about 4 feet above his doghouse.
This lamp runs off a 24 hour timer where I set it to run more at night than during the day, like on for an hour and of for a 1/2 hour. Is this enough or do I need to do additional? It has been fairly mild so far as we have only had one or two nights below zero. Any feedback would be great. Thanks!
