Those who probably don't have a "mountain" dog don't know what joy it gets when it sees snow. Probably some pit bull or Maltese would have tired paws long ago, when for example the mentioned dog just starts enjoying. Such dogs are made for nature, something thank God is in their genes and the rest. So don't comment if you don't know breeds and haven't seen the joy that real dogs have in the mountains. Almost there, and they'll accuse us dog owners that our dogs are hole-diggers and destroy the ski tracks.
