Will a dog have to much trouble in the deep snow? Or you think he'd enjoy himself?

Actually, our friends down in Chugiak had an entire dogsled team of poodles. These were not the tiny yappy poodles, though.

I have an Alaskan Malamute, she loves the snow, but again... she's an Alaskan Malamute. She can tread snow like it wasn't even there.

maybe if you put those little booty things on them to keep ice from building up between their toes.

Thats a beautiful picture.




I have a big dog, a mix of mountain bernese and larbador (he's about 80% bernese)

My rotts used to love it also. Mom would cross country ski and after a while they would follow on the old tracks. If it was deep they wouldn't go to far off the tracks. Snowshoeing should be even easier for them.

I hate cold. I hate snow.

living in atlanta is as far north as I'd go. It snows like once or maybe twice a year. It's 43 degrees (FREEZING) right now though
