We've been in a deep freeze lately, temperatures anywhere from -30 to -40 not including wind chill. It finally warmed up to -25 and we took a nice walk today. Here is a picture of Diesel and his frosty face caused by his breath. My face, although less furry, looked similar.

Re: Northern Dutch
I love that picture! I think Diesel needs to tell Odin to man up. He got a little ball of snow in between his pads last night on our walk tried to walk home on 3 legs.

- Tell us about yourself: I adopted a Dutch Shepherd mix (without knowing what she was) from the SPCA here in Victoria BC and am now trying to learn everything I can about this breed. My husband and I work from home most of the time so I thought it was time to get a puppy! We have his 2 boys here half the time and we wanted a nice family dog.
Sugar looks like a miniature Dutch Shepherd with floppy ears, and has every ounce of DS traits in her little body!
I hope to learn from other DS owners and share doggy experiences. - Location: Victoria BC

Re: Northern Dutch
Hehe, I know it sounds crazy but when it's been -30ish for many weeks, even a slight rise in temperature feels so much nicer! -20 is actually really nice to walk in (when it's sunny). The dogs are running off leash, which helps because they are keeping warm by moving fast and it doesn't seem to bother their paws. My cut off is -30 (when Diesel will go out for a pee and them b-line back to the door).Sugars Mom wrote: "Nice" walk...in minus 25??? How is that possible? Yikes!!

Towards the end of the winter when there is still snow and the daylight is quite long and temperatures around -10...I walk in a sweater!
