The 10 best cold weather dog breeds
for a family with children
Active families in cold weather regions who are interested
in adopting a dog will be looking for a breed that can tolerate the frigid
climate and play in the snow with the children. The list of Nordic dogs is a long
one but not all of those dog breeds will fit into a family with children. Small
children and even older kids need a pet that can tolerate playing and activity
just as much as it can tolerate four seasons. Kids need a dog breed that is
patient and loving to ensure that all play is safe play.
These 10 cold weather dogs are the best breeds to
introduce to a family with children. Although many are larger breeds it is
important to remember that when the dog has an even temperament it is easy to
train so the size tends to matter less. With the proper training a giant breed
dog can be just as easy to manage as a small dog. Many large and giant breed
owners swear by their family friendly dogs as being great companions for
children. Check out the 10 best cold weather dogs for a family.
These dogs want to celebrate Christmas with you!
Thank you to all of our amazing readers! Keira and I are forever grateful! Have a very Merry Christmas from Paws For Reaction!

Day of the Horse promotes ethical treatment of horses
In 2004 Congress decided that December 14 would be
National Day of the Horse. This special day dedicated to our regal animal
friends encourages people “to be mindful of the contribution of horses to the
economy, history, and character of the United States” as was stated in a resolution by Congress.
"Without horses, the economy, history, and character of the United States would be profoundly different. Whereas horses continue to permeate the society of the United States, as witnessed on movie screens, on open land, and in our own backyards," the resolution reads.

Happy Paws: Winter paw care a concern of
dedicated dog parents 
Winter paw care is important for our canine family
members. The hard snow and ice make outdoor travel a deadly obstacle course for
dogs. Cuts and soars can develop on the pads and their poor little
"feet" can be in pain- and you may not even know it.
There are some
products out there- along with some tips and tricks- to help you take extra
special care of your dog’s paws in this cold weather. Winter playtime may need
to be reduced but the fun doesn't have to be.
