The top three popular breeds in Michigan are very similar to the nationwide favorites – Golden Retrievers, Labradors, and German Shepherds. Other popular dogs in Michigan include Bulldogs, Beagles, Shih Tzus, Havanese, Siberian Huskies, Yorkshire Terriers, and Rottweilers. Considering it gets cold in Michigan, here are some breeds that are considered the best cold-weather dogs.
Bernese Mountain Dogs in Michigan: This breed is hardworking, tireless, and loyal with a gentle temperament. Bred in Switzerland, Bernese Mountain Dogs are ideal for Michigan families and individuals who love to be active outdoors. So, if you love hiking in Michigan, this is a dog that can carry its own gear and maybe some of yours too.
Chow Chows in Michigan: These dogs have a thick wooly coat that makes them tolerant to extremely cold temperatures. They love the company of their family but are aloof towards strangers. There’s nothing that would make a Chow Chow happier than to spend a day frolicking in the snow with her Michigan family.
German Shepherds in Michigan: This breed is world renowned for its trainability and obedience. It’s no wonder that German Shepherds are some of the most popular dogs in police work and guarding. If you are looking for a guard dog in Michigan or a hardworking and strong dog with lots of energy, a German Shepherd may be the ideal choice.
Newfoundland Dogs in Michigan: Newfies, as they are lovingly called, are a friendly, loyal, calm, patient and protective breed. They have a heavy coat that makes this breed ideal for Michigan’s cold climate. These gentle giants are great swimmers and ideal for mountain hiking too. They don’t bark much but drool a lot.
Saint Bernards in Michigan: These large dogs are beloved pets of many Michigan families. They can be massive in size, 120 to 200 pounds on average, and tend to be low-energy dogs in general, so they’re great for Michigan families that are looking for an affectionate dog who is not very active or playful. However, at the same time Saint Bernards are ideal for active people in Michigan as they can trek for miles in snow.
