Its January here in Michigan and its starting to get pretty cold, ive been walking my 7 month old Poodle every moringing for the last few weeks, its about to start snowing here and im curious if she would be fine walking a mile or two or if it would be too cold for her.

thanks

Should be fine, I live in Ontario and my JRTs can go a mile or so in the winter. If its super cold (-13F/-25C) I don't take them out, but then I don't want to go either. Anything down to 5F/-15C I will take them for a 3 mile or so walk as long as they have coats on. Since your poodle likely wont' have a lot of coat I suggest a good warm dog coat (does not have to be froo froo).

Here are a couple of pics of my guys from a couple of days ago. It was -12C and we went 3 miles.

non froo froo coat:


Tiny dog ok in the cold and the snow..
