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

seriously! Just a few minutes ago on Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey hosted by Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson on Fox. Hubby picked out what to watch and since I really like Dr Tyson, I had no objections. But less than 10 minutes into the program there was an animated version of a basenji by the campfire, then African people hunting with 2 basenjis. yep, totally r/w basenjis with curly tails and all, hunting a gazelle into nets. How clever is that?!?!? My esteem for Dr Tyson just went up, again; I knew he was rocket-scientist smart, but did not know he was clever enough to know about basenjis.

I just saw that also!

When we heard this episode was going to be about wolves and domestication we had high hopes that Basenjis would be mentioned. There they were red and white beautiful animated Basenji's! It was so amazing I'm glad you guys were able to catch the show too!
-
HA, I noticed in the first episode they showed some cave drawing looking animation that had the classic Basenji look about them as well. Have nt gotten to the second one yet.
-
Yay our Basenji are famous, saw it too.

Cool, but as a Basenji lover, I hope the world doesn't understand how cool it is to have a basenji in your life.
They are not your everyday dog -
I think it was really cool that the basenji's were there - at the beginning of the dog story, so to speak.
