There are two types of people: some love winter activities and sports, while others have a less than positive attitude towards winter, to put it mildly.
The same applies to dogs – some breeds simply adore winter fun, while others prefer the warmth of the home.
Siberian Husky
Huskies are one of the most popular dog breeds in the world. They have high frost resistance, thick double fur and blue eyes. Huskies will happily pull a sled or a tubing on a snowy road - after all, this is what they were originally bred for.
Alaskan Malamute
Malamutes are another breed of sled dogs that love winter fun: jumping in the snow, pulling sleds, catching snowballs. They have thick double fur, which helps them keep warm in the cold season and protects them from the heat. However, you should not keep your pet in the open sun.
Samoyed
Samoyeds are a breed of dog with thick white fur that is ideal for living in cold climates. They were bred in Russia for hunting and fishing, but over time, these dogs have become popular as family pets. Samoyeds are very affectionate and loyal, and they will happily participate in winter activities.
Saint Bernard
These huge plush dogs were bred for the cold climate of the Alps. Their thick coat protects them from the cold. Another distinctive feature of St. Bernards is their patience, which makes them great pets for families with children.
Bouvier des Flandres
Bouviers are a breed of dog that originated in the Flanders region. They have thick fur that allows them to feel comfortable in cold weather, which means they can take part in winter fun. Bouviers of Flanders are not only suitable for outdoor enthusiasts at any time of year, but also for those who have children, as they can be excellent nannies.
