The 10 best cold weather dog breeds
for a family with children
Active families in cold weather regions who are interested
in adopting a dog will be looking for a breed that can tolerate the frigid
climate and play in the snow with the children. The list of Nordic dogs is a long
one but not all of those dog breeds will fit into a family with children. Small
children and even older kids need a pet that can tolerate playing and activity
just as much as it can tolerate four seasons. Kids need a dog breed that is
patient and loving to ensure that all play is safe play.
These 10 cold weather dogs are the best breeds to
introduce to a family with children. Although many are larger breeds it is
important to remember that when the dog has an even temperament it is easy to
train so the size tends to matter less. With the proper training a giant breed
dog can be just as easy to manage as a small dog. Many large and giant breed
owners swear by their family friendly dogs as being great companions for
children. Check out the 10 best cold weather dogs for a family.
Happy Caturday!

Christmas dog cookies: 7 holiday dog treat recipes
 |
The king of Christmas sweets is defiantly the Christmas
cookie. They come in all shapes, sizes, and flavours- each evoking the holiday
spirit in their own way. Would Santa Claus be able to make it around the world
in one night if it weren't for all of those Christmas cookies fueling him?
Holiday dreams are built on cookies! Why shouldn't your dog be able to join in
on the fun?
Try one of these 7 recipes for Christmas cookies that are
dog friendly. Instead of using the same old dog bone cookie cutter to make these
treats try something more festive. Use a Christmas tree cookie cutter or a
snowflake to make your dog treats. Your dog will love chomping down on a yummy
snowman.
Bake an extra batch to give out to your dog owner friends
and coworkers this holiday season. Homemade dog treats make great Christmas
gifts- just pick up a decorative Christmas box and wrap some cookies in wax
paper to put inside. Finish it off with a bow and a nice gift tag. Not only is
it a personal and thoughtful gift but it is also inexpensive.
Check out these 7
holiday-inspired dog treat recipes and do-it-yourself this Christmas! Don’t
forget to let all cookies cool down before serving them to any pet.
