I can say we just had a blizzard and have been getting one to two storms a week. Oakley has a Hurrta coat, a snood which he sometimes uses as a neck warmer and boots used for wet snow or extremely cold weather. Despite that his paw pads started bleeding yesterday mid walk…he really can't handle the constant snow,ice,cold and ice melt..
I think you should be able to bring your pup out; just keep an eye on any signs of hard shivering or motionless (not wanting to move), lifting up of one foot at a time and staring at you. All those can be signs of cold uncomfortability. Congrats on your new pup and I do agree to use caution around dogs you aren't familiar with, but also keep in mind socialization is super important as well. Try for positive experiences with dogs at a safe distance and try to get in up close experiences with dogs whose medical history and owner reliability are there
Off leash can be OK…..

I don't know why, but B's hate those things(the tails perhaps?). Our's got one in the backyard (RIP) and there's another one running around somewhere without a bushy tail.:D

Yessss! I know what your saying BBoy. I found a squirrel tail on my driveway last fall. In January, when the BRAT rep came in for a home inspection, we let Duke outside to show her how well he does with the e-fence. The squirrels went scrambling up the trees. BRAT rep noticed immediately the one without the tail. LOL
As far as letting Duke off leash - There is only one place we allowed Duke off-leash - Waaay up north at my father-n-law's cabin. He's got 20 acres and surrounded by state land. Though he's a B-mix - he's got all Basenji mentality. Thankfully - there wasn't a deer, bear or squirrel in eyeshot during those times off leash. Thankfully, he would come with some encouragement. It was nice that he came when called (no critters in sight) We'll be going back up again soon - I'll have to remember to bring pork chops as good insurance. btw - loved the kid in the squirrel suit pic.;)

My son uses a foxtail he has on a fishing rod to play with the B's…....a few of them will chase it till the tounges drag on the ground. It's fun to watch them.:)
