I suppose one would know what a certain breed’s qualities are. If they came from a warm weather climate and are small dogs, they probably aren’t built to withstand a walk outside in 15 degree weather.
My collies could curl up in the snow and take a nap and my rescue half Bichon runs out, TCOB, and is back at the door pawing like mad to get in. Of course he is cut pretty short.
You guys are making me feel cold (and guilty because it is 57 here). Husky girl was born in WA, in a snowy winter, weighs 70+ pounds and has enough fur for several dogs-she likes to play in the cold, as long as there is no sleet or snow falling, but I’m certain even she would balk at being in 15 degree weather for more than a few minutes, sweater or no...
