How deep a pond for winterizing?

We had a small pond for the first time last year. I added a goldfish and 3 fat tadpoles, and watched them grow into fat, friendly frogs. When cold weather approached we brought the fish in, and relocated the frogs. This year we're going bigger and deeper so the fish and frogs can winterize in their natural habitat. My question is -- HOW DEEP?! I can't find out how to prep the pond so the frogs (and fish) can do what they do. Do the frogs bury themselves in the bottom? If so, should I then make sure there is "muck and mire" down there for them?

Any advice would be appreciated. I loved my little guys last year, and can't wait to get them back, and keep them this time!

We live in New Hampshire. Thank you!
