Border Terriers are good dogs for winter. We have two Chesapeake Bay Retrievers, and Duffy thinks he is a small Chessie! LOL

Italian greyhounds DO not like cold. My friend could tell you better how they are in AK, but mine would not leave the house if they could avoid it in the winter.
Besides the fact that iggies don't usually like the cold, I hesitate to get a dog that is trained and bred to run faster than a human (especially me with my new knees!) so think I'll pass on the referral for them. I have to go outside in the winter...and like it...so want a dog that doesn't mind going along. But thanks!
