About two weeks ago, we got about 8” to 10”s of snow in south Louisiana. Being my dog was short haired, I was initially concerned he would hate it. But boy, was I wrong, it was hard to get him to even come back inside once he started playing.

All about dogs - dog breeds, dog training and behavior, news affecting dog owners or handlers, puppy pics, etc.
Rules (Will be refined later on).

Don't be a dick. This should cover most things, just keep in mind that everyone started somewhere and try to be helpful rather than rude or judgmental.
-
No personal attacks based on training style or tools.
Discussion of balanced training including proper use of aversives is allowed here. -
All breeds and mixes are welcome. You can criticize backyard breeding practices but don't pile on people because they own a specific breed or prefer purebreds or mixed breeds.
-
Do not support backyard breeders or puppy mills. Please do not link to or suggest buying from high volume breeders or those with an obvious lack of standards and testing.
-
Do not help or support fake service animals. Please do not encourage people to buy fake service dog vest or ESA letters to get around rental or other restrictions & do not give advice on how to misrepresent a dog as a service or support animal.

It's such a magical thing when a dog sees snow for the first time!
Friend of mine had a half wolf half malamute. Took the dog on a hike up a mountain. As they crossed the snow line, the dog cautiously stepped into the snow, then bolted when he realized he was finally home.
