Hi,

GSD's LOVE cold weather and snow! So long as it is not -20, owners on the other hand are a different story, hehe. All my pups were raised in winter, that is when my hubby is off work and can be home for potty training. etc.

Welcome to the group post some pics when you get your pup. I think I am having puppy withdrawl, lol!

Welcome! Don't worry about the cold. In chicago, the wind chill drops to -20/-30 in the winter and my dog could not care less.
