Daniel.P.Hughes Webboard User Reg: 02-06-2010 Posts: 180 Loc: Offline	I have an odd question. I know German shepherds have a double coat and I know my dog loves the snow and even sleeps out in a dog house with bedding material in it. Here is my question: If I want to hike extensively and sometimes in colder climates like in Mt. Rainier....When should I leave him home. This isn't so much pit bull issue as it is his coat and warmth situation. Can he be comfortable hiking and sleeping in a tent with me in the low 30's? Can he even get in the 20's as long as he is in shelter and with my body heat? I just want to know if you were going to go camping and hiking with a pit, what would be your threshold in temperature to leave them at home? Regards https://www.instagram.com/danielgsdhp/
