Is it acceptable?

to have these dogs in a area where the climate is cold, freezing, wet, rainy, and sometimes snowy 6-7 months out of the year if you have a proper setup? Or do they need to be in a warmer climate?

was there suposed to be a picture?

i had 3/4 months old pups in -20 degrees celcius last year. proper isolated doghouse with straw is :cheers:

some dogs are kept much colder.

Lol sorry no picture not yet anyways Thank you for your input :D Now my next question is will they do as well somewhere where it's cold more then half of the year then opposed to somewhere where it's warm more then half the year. Which climate will the dogs do best in? Or does it even matter? Can they adjust to any area/climate and still be successful in anything you want them to do? How much does climate really affect the ability of the dog?

dont worry about it. i can only speak for europe. russia and the ukraine got a few of the most successful kennels in the world.

As long as you provide the appropriate dog houses for the domestic weather conditions, you have nothing to worry about. The disadvantage would be if the dogs have to "work" at completely different climate without enough time to adjust.
