I remember running into a guy on the Appalachian Trail who did that.
Being a kind person he had loaded some light but bulky stuff in the dog
packs. Like his sleeping bag and down parka. The dog decided to go for a
romp in the woods and came back sans packs. I met the guy shivering in
one of the shelters cussing the dog up, down, and crossways, while it
continued to snow. About 6 six inchs when I arrived at the shelter, and
about 2 feet the next morning. It eventually got to 60 inchs in that
area the heaviest snowfall ever recorded in May.
Of course I imagine your dogs are better trained than his was <grin>.
