Sure tests your discipline as it pertains to cleaning kennels twice a day.

Lol I hate that shit. I am in the mid west and all this week it's been in low 20s and below with 4-7inches of snow. The worse thing is I have many pups I have to constantly take out to empty at all different times, and change of the water bowls every couple of hours for the ones on the yard. Shit just gets under my skin. This is the last winter I will have to spend here because am packing my bags and going to "sunshine state". In the spring

What I hate is I don't feel like doing as much road work and outdoor play with my bulldogs anymore.

Hell noooo

It fucking SUCKS!
To look it from the bright side theres almost no parasites. No dangerous spiders and only one venomous snake who is hibernating 6 months a year.
STill though im trying to find a way to relocate to a warmer country. This is where you wish you would've stayed in school LOL

In the southeast (NC) it has been sub-freezing the last few days but gets to the high 30's/low 40's during the day. So it is not the extremes of the Midwestern states or the northern states/Canada. A set of young pups really do not understand geography but for them cold is cold so the responsibilities are much the same. I get the benefit of cold weather but our days are nothing like others. We do get above freezing regularly.

I liked the parasite comment from above. One thing about NC is last week it was freezing temperatures all week, some ice here and there and then on Friday it was over 70. During a rub down I found a tick on the dog. In December. The dogs pose problems wherever we call home. Just different and to different extremes. EWO

No doubt about it. Got family there, know some good dogmen. The isolation and your importrules are big cons though.

Texas has it all man. Humid in the Southern portion and out here east where I'm at. Up in the panhandle, it's a whole different type of dry, extreme cold. Lived in all of them. Know SEVERAL Colorado natives that will tell you they would rather be in Colorado on it's worst day than a bad cold day in the Panhandle of Texas. Something about that cold and all that damn wind.

Texas is a country, not a state!

You are absolutely right. That August in Houston will kill a dog quick.
