I have hibernated my Russian group for 3-4 months every winter (I too live where it gets to 20 below in the winter)for the last 9 years purely for health reasons.



Russians will eat themselves to obesity in no time flat and the 3-4 months in the fridge helps keep that under control and they come out wired and refreshed.
