Another vote to see what might be causing that. How cold is it outside? When we had an outside dog ( I was a kid) he could take
-20F and I never saw him hold his feet up. It's more likely to be a problem for an inside dog who goes out only periodically. And straw in a heated barn would be quite cozy. Our dog had straw but not a heat lamp. Closest thing to a breed to describe him would be an English Shepherd, one of the heavy coated ones.
