I've seen 82 below, but usually we get a few weeks of minus 65 within the nx month, high for the day will be minus 50, low at 6 am minus 65-70. My Plotts are house dogs, they keep the bear from breaking in when you're not at home. Short haired dogs stay inside, but I have seen Indians keep pit bulls outside in houses with straw, awful hard on them. Alaska Huskies sleep in the snow outside their houses when it's minus 50, they like it.
Ticks & fleas can't survive here which is good. We got other things, wolves that lay in wait for your dog to go outside to poop, they eat them quick. My neighbor ran outside with shot gun, wolf had his springer spaniel on the ground, by neck not 10 foot from front door. Wolf wouldn't let go, neighbor sprayed blood everywhere. Dogs learn pretty quick to run back up on porch when the wolves are around, bark from porch at them. They have a different bark for wolves too, so you hear them and run outside with gun. I've had to shoot wolves in my dog lot when I had dog team, the buggers have balls. I've even had wolves in my garbage cans at 3 am. My Plotts wind them from inside house and wake me up, I'm hangin outside kitchen window AR with flashlite. I've even set up game camera to catch them, aand tthe wolves are smart, realize something ain't right, won't come in.
We don't have ticks, but too many wolves & bear around; live where the Yukon comes in from Canada.
