There's nothing quite like a poodle puppy. They're so full of energy and life, always ready to play and have a good time. Poodles are one of the most popular dog breeds for a reason—they really are the total package. I'm fond of saying; "a poodle will adventure in the mountains with you one day, and chill on the sofa to binge Netflix the next." However, their true love for spending time outdoors with their people is truly an extra special trait in poodles.
Poodle puppies especially enjoy playing in the snow. Alaska winters can be long and dark, but having a puppy around breaks up the monotony and provides some comic relief! Poodle puppies love to bounce and play in the deep snow. The biggest challenge is getting them to come inside!
Poodles and Snow: A Match Made in Heaven?
Poodles are a versatile breed of dog; they come in three varieties or sizes, standard, miniature, and toy. And they can come in a multitude of colors! But one thing all poodles have in common is their love of the great outdoors—and that includes playing in the snow!
Poodle puppies are especially known for their boundless energy and exuberance. They love to play and have a good time, no matter what the weather is like outside. So it's no surprise that poodle puppies love to romp and play in the snow! It's just one of the many things that make poodles such special dogs.
Here are a few things to keep in mind if you're planning on letting your pup play in the snow:
Dogs can get frostbite just like humans can so be sure to monitor your pup closely for signs of coldness such as shivering or whining. If their ears or tails seem especially cold, bring them inside and warm them up gradually.
Snow can be hard on a dog's paw pads, so consider using booties or paw balm to protect them. I wrote a blog post all about our favorite booties. You can read all about these booties by clicking HERE.
Make sure your pup stays hydrated by providing them with fresh water - just like people, dogs can get dehydrated quickly when they're out in the cold.
Most importantly, have fun!
Playing in the snow is a great way to bond with your pup and create memories that will last a lifetime.
The biggest challenge when it comes to poodle puppies and snow is getting them to come inside! Once they're out there bouncing around in the snow, they don't want to stop. But eventually, they'll get cold and tired, and you'll be able to lure them back inside with the promise of a cozy blanket and a warm fire. Until then, enjoy watching them play—it's sure to bring a smile to your face on even the darkest winter day.
There's nothing quite like watching a poodle puppy play in the snow. They're so full of energy and life, always ready to have fun. Poodles are one of the most popular dog breeds for a reason—they're just so lovable. And their love of the great outdoors makes them even more special. If you're lucky enough to have a poodle puppy in your life, take some time to enjoy watching them play in the snow! Or better yet, get outside and play with your puppy! Neither one of you will regret it.
