I am an active outdoors enthusiast living in Newfoundland. I would like to know how this breed will handle the winter. Is it suitable for being outside with me for a few days at a time in the winter (while I'm camping, not out of neglect)?

No problem in the cold. I could not keep mine out of cold water with snow on the ground. He had no problem retrieving my down ducks. They love snow and it is a blast to spend time with your pup in snow. Mine loved to ride with me on my ATV, no matter how cold the weather was.

They LOVE snow! The only issue is that sometimes the ice chunks get stuck between their little toes which can be very painful. We have to pick off ice almost everytime he comes in. While on walks, we put on booties to avoid that hassle.
