6 Great cold-weather dog breeds in India

There are many breeds of dogs that can withstand the heat and humidity of our country’s summers, but not all of them have thick coats and strong bones to keep them going through winters as well. Here are some breeds that will help you out when it comes to choosing which dog is best if you live in a colder region.

Golden Retriever

When I think of a family dog that loves cooler climates, the first dog that comes to mind is the Golden Retriever. Golden retrievers are also a good choice for first time dog owners. They are highly trainable, and they love to please their owners. They’re also great with kids and generally not aggressive.

The Golden Retriever’s coat is made to withstand cold temperatures. They have two layers of fur, which allows them to retain their body heat in colder climates. The undercoat is dense and waterproof, while the topcoat is long and smooth. Their fur acts as both insulation against cold and rain or snow, as well as a means for shedding water.

Golden retrievers love being outside, even in the winter. If you live somewhere where it gets really cold, this is an important factor to consider when looking for a dog breed.

Golden retrievers also love to swim and go for long walks, so if you like spending time outdoors then this could be the perfect breed for you!

Labradors

The Labrador Retriever is a breed that thrives in cold weather. It has thick fur and is not bothered much by cold weather, water or even snow. The fact that this dog can tolerate being out in the elements makes them ideal for people who live in colder regions in India where winters are long and harsh on most dogs if they aren’t well-protected with winter gear like coats and boots.

If you’re looking for a dog who can keep up with the warm as well as cold climates, look no further than the Labrador retriever. The Labrador is one of the most versatile dogs.

If you have time to spend outside with your Lab every day (at least an hour), this breed would be an ideal fit for you!

Saint Bernard

The Saint Bernard is a large, heavy dog with a thick coat that can protect him from the cold. They are intelligent and friendly, which makes him a great companion for you on any hike or day trip.

A typical Saint Bernard will weigh between 50 to 80 kgs when fully grown, so they are not the best option for owners who live in small apartments or homes with limited space. They do well in colder climates due to their fur coat but are not suitable for extremely hot weather as they can easily overheat.

They love to be around people and other animals, so if you have children, this breed would be a great fit for you! When introduced properly from puppyhood onward, these dogs get along fine with other dogs too!

Lhasa Apso

If you’re looking for a dog that can keep you warm in the winter, check out a Lhasa Apso. This breed of dog is small and compact but also has plenty of personality.

The Lhasa Apso has a thick coat that keeps them warm in the winter. They were originally bred to be sentinels for palaces and monasteries in the cold Himalayas, and they still have that toughness about them today.

The Lhasa Apso is an intelligent breed that responds well to training sessions with patience and consistency. These dogs love attention, so you should spend time with them every day, so your relationship stays strong throughout their lifetime

Lhasa Apso’s are great dogs for cold weather, but that doesn’t mean they’re not suited for warmer climates. They are just as happy with an air-conditioned room as long as they have some human companionship.

Siberian husky

Siberian Husky is a very popular dog breed, and it is not hard to see why. These dogs are beautiful and friendly, but they also have a reputation for being energetic and playful.

Siberian Husky has a thick double coat that is shed in the summer and grows longer in the winter. The fur is soft and dense, and can be up to 1 inch long. It has a coarse texture with a light undercoat and protective topcoat.

Siberian Huskies are also very intelligent dogs who want as much mental stimulation as physical activity. If they’re left alone all day every day without stimulation or exercise then they’ll start acting out in destructive ways (chewing furniture being one common example). Many Siberians love learning tricks and playing games like fetch so make sure that whatever type of companion your furry friend becomes he gets plenty of opportunities throughout each day!

German Shepherd

German shepherd is a great dog breed specially if you live in cold climate. Although they are not naturally friendly with animals or children, if they are well-trained from a young age, then they will be friendly when they grow up.

They are perfect companions for cold weather. German Shepherds need a lot of exercise.

If you live in a cold climate and want to own a dog, the German shepherd is one of the best breeds to consider. These dogs have double coats that insulate them from the cold weather. This means they can withstand low temperatures well enough to play outside even during winter.

As you can see, there are a lot of great options for cold climate dogs in India. Which one will you choose for your family?
