* I agree with Connie on the layering technique. Fleece inside for warmth, nylon outside to cut the wind
* Keep him moving. If he stops, he's going to shiver. Either walk him without stopping or toss a ball or do something to keep him generating heat.
Thank you for the advice I really find it helpful. Today it's not snowing in montreal but it's like -8 so i will take Royce out with his boots and see how it goes . will let you know .
