Does your pet love the winter months? Here are a few breeds that will love spending time outdoors with you. Whether it’s a snow hiking trip, sledding or building a snowman, these pups are ready for the cold weather.

These dogs are big! Their long thick fur help protect them from the cold. Newfoundland’s originated from Canada so naturally they are great outdoor dogs. They are protectors and love spending time with their family.
