After how many days of taking a livestock guardian dog inside a very warm place does the winter fur start shedding?
The weather outside is -15 degrees Celsius (5 °F), and the dog's fur is really good. He has an insulated barn, but prefers to sleep outside in the cold.
However, due to an unexpected emergency, I have to travel and I will take the dog with me, in a hotel room which is warm (21 degrees Celsius/ 70 °F). I've done this before, the dog sleeps all the time, but I've done it for a day or two at most. This time, it must be a whole 2 weeks. But, I will make 3 or 4 trips outside the hotel room every day with the dog for 1 hour each, in very cold weather. Is this enough to signal his body to keep the fur and not shed it? #home
