It's possible that there may have been developments or new breeds recognized since then. However, I can provide you with general information on the factors that influence a dog's ability to tolerate different temperatures.

Dogs, in general, are adaptable to a range of temperatures, but their ability to withstand certain conditions depends on factors such as breed, age, health, and acclimatisation. The term "British Timber Dog" suggests a large working or utility breed, and many such breeds have thick double coats that provide insulation against both cold and warm weather.

In cold temperatures, these breeds, if well-adapted, can withstand freezing temperatures and may even enjoy the snow. Their double coats provide insulation and protection from the elements. However, it's essential to monitor them in extreme cold and ensure they have access to shelter when needed.

In warmer temperatures, dogs may struggle with excessive heat. Brachycephalic breeds, those with short noses, may be more susceptible to heat-related issues. Adequate shade, hydration, and avoiding strenuous exercise during the hottest parts of the day are crucial for their well-being.

It's crucial to note that individual dogs within a breed can vary in their tolerance to temperature extremes. Additionally, puppies and senior dogs are generally more vulnerable to extreme temperatures. Regular veterinary check-ups can help ensure that a dog is healthy and able to cope with different weather conditions.
