I agree with what the others have mentioned about your parents never changing their minds.

I also wanted to add that Saskatchewan is one of the coldest provinces in Canada. The pup's like what 2 months old... so it will be 8 or 9 months when the colder weather begins.....and barely a year when the -35C weather hits......

I know you are probably planning on getting a better dog house, but it looks like your pup is going to have a short coat. Even if it does develop a longer coat it will take more than a year for it to fully come in, and who knows if it will be thick enough even then.

Please think about this. Your pup is so people friendly it wants to be with it's family. Will you still want to sit outside and play with it when its -45C with the wind chill?
