Hi Punlonnjack, I have two rot/black lab mix dogs and they love to play in the snow. I open the door and they just about knock me down to get outside and run through it. I think there are things you can get for your dogs paws to keep them warm or you could take put some of your old socks on your dog and get some rubber bands to keep them on. I would think that anything you can put on her feet should help some. I hope this helps. Take care, Terry

Rose - Our black lab, Rose, in an apron my 10 year old daughter made.
Well we have a black lab so she loves the snow. When there's big drifts she looks like a giant black rabbit bounding about from drift to drift. (grin) For your dog you could try booties. They make them for dogs. Not alot of dogs like them, but if they keep her paws from getting frozen she may not mind. When we had a little doxie I bought a little doggie sweater for her. You could tell she appreciated it.
