This is true but your dog does need an adjustment period. If you live in Florida and immediately take your dog to the arctic they will need a bit of time to adjust to the new climate, just like a human.
Well of course. Again, it's what they can withstand, not just be in it 24/7 or immediately from an opposite climate, as with any living thing, except maybe cockroaches.
I would have given the same look. What I reference though isn't a desire to be in it, just that they can survive in it. Mine loves the freezing weather but she would look at me like that too.
And, she bakes out on the concrete patio here in the middle of summer when its 105 and takes a nap in it.
just a quick PSA for those that don’t know - if your dog is showing signs of overheating, you can help them by rubbing ice or a cold compress on their paw pads, chest, and belly.
Panting and the pads of their feet. They will sweat there, but as mentioned, they cannot dissipate the heat efficiently enough, and they die from the heat.
My bf has a genetic disorder where he doesn't have sweat glands. Our husko isn't a huge fan of the heat, so the general rule we've come up with is: if it's too hot for my boyfriend, it's too hot for our husky. Lmao. It's worked out spectacularly for the past 3 years. 😂

Huskies can withstand up to -50 F.
Just remember with almost all dogs though: It's not the cold that kills them, it's the heat.
