[QUOTE="bilbo, post: 277848, member: 6965"] Mine hasn't had issues hunting down to near zero as long as she stays dry. She doesn't use a vest or anything; none seem to fit her deep chest well and cause chafing. She comes along snowshoeing throughout the winter and I just keep an eye on her behavior. If she starts slowing down or picking her feet up then it's time to be done. Snowshoe trips have been down to near -10 and about an hour usually. I've never tried boots; I haven't had a need to yet, but I imagine those would help. She can definitely take a lot more cold than heat. Last fall I was out hunting in a rain/sleet mix at around +30. She was done within 20 minutes. Hackles were up, she was shivering, and getting sluggish and weird. Took her back into the truck and dried her off, then pretty much quit. Staying dry makes a world of difference. [/QUOTE]
