Question
Hello Angela,

I have a female boxer named Daisy who is about 4 years old. She and I enjoy the outdoors. Hiking, camping, ect. The winter is coming up and I am shopping for neoprene vests, boots, and flece jackets for her but I was curious if that would be enough. Will she be ok up in the mountains with me if I buy her some equipment or will she still freeze?

Answer
Hi Rick,
Thanks for your question. The boxer has a single coat layer unlike most breeds who have a double coat so I personally don't feel she would be able to tolerate the cold even with the attire you have suggested for any long periods of time.
Sincerely,
