I live in Michigan, and he stays outside. If you want my opinion. It really depends on a couple things. First of all, any dog needs a good insulated dog house. Secondly, it really doesn't matter how long the hair is. It's the undercoat that keeps them warm. Alot of hounds have a single coat. But, with a good house they can stay out as far north as you care to go.

Good hunting!
