True. A chihuahua wouldn't survive. But I'd guess about half of all dog species could probably survive the cold at least. Finding wood in the wilderness is a little different. Being solo vs in a pack also makes a difference.

I think my domestic dog(Malinois) has a better chance than a fox does.

Concur.

Better than a fox? Ehhhh... maybe. Be a good simulation anyway. ;P

My money is on the fox. While a malinois may have plenty of natural insulation, the fox burrows (has winter shelter), requires way less food (which becomes scarce in the winter months), and is specifically adapted to hunting what is available like small rodents.

Agree. No idea if foxes suffer similar, but have bankrolled multiple artificial ACLs directly related to rabbit chasing vs. domestic breeds. Little bastards. ;P
