Some long-haired dogs can tolerate temperatures as low as 5-10 degrees, and some long-haired dogs can tolerate temperatures around 0 degrees, but they may catch a cold for too long, such as the Great Pyrenees. Of course, the most hardy dogs are mostly sled dogs, such as Eskimos, Samoyeds, Huskies and Alaskans, all of which are able to survive outdoors at -40 degrees. The most suitable ambient temperature for dogs is generally 15-20 degrees, so it is best to keep the kennel at this temperature during the winter, and owners can use electric blankets or hot water bags to keep their dogs warm. Although sled dogs can tolerate extremely low temperatures, it is also best for owners not to leave them outdoors for long periods of time.
