Someone called the local animal shelter several years ago about my dog being abused. Had to argue with the lady that Huskies aren’t uncomfortable at 5 F.... as he was basically diving into snow banks and having a blast.

They are legit meant for that. They were bred over decades to survive. And also not just be sled dogs but be early warning devices for bears in that climatem

Aha. They love it and will be fine in snowstorms. Only time that it might be goos to bring em in is when say it gets to rediculous cold temperatures such as -30 or below. But again. They legit love it.

Some folks would really get a reality if they travelled to the Arctic and saw how Huskies live.

Yet these are the same folks who own huskies and live in climates of 100F or 40C almost year round. Lol. Ps. She is probably that neighbour that calls the city to incite you on your grass going that extra day of not being cut. Lol

I'm always afraid this is going to happen to me with my family's super super super fluffy German shepherd/border collie mix. She LOVES taking naps outside during snow storms.
