mine love it and Roobs who's totally blind is enamoured by it as it has so many scents to go after and she takes forever sniffing everywhere

I am thinking of getting a coat for wilf though as he limps more in really cold weather because of his old injury on his back

Bonnie Boo loves it cold, windy, heavy rain, snow but she does get a bit lethargic when it gets warmer

Mine are happy to be out whatever the weather.  They love frosty mornings particularly though.  Strong winds send them barmy, zooming around like loons.

William loves the snow and will happily charge around the garden with my other two like a lunatic. However, he likes to come in afterwards for a nice long snooze in his dog bag, and he's ten now. He hates the heat and just hides away in the coolest spot he can find in the house. Twiggy, my other cocker, absolutely loves it, and will happily lie out in the full sun even when it's nearly 40 degrees. She is a real sunworshipper!

Like so many other cockers, Millie is very reluctant to go out in the rain for a wee , >:(  but will run out of the door on the lead whatever the weather!!   :D I think she thinks the snow is extra food!!

We live at 3600 feet so get some pretty cold weather and deep snow from December through to April, selby just loves it, never has a coat on and will go out in all weathers, in the summer it gets up to 40c and he isn't bothered about that either he just swims more, I think he would live outside if he could :D

I just wish we HAD some cold weather for him to react to! The heat here is unbearable at the moment and Coop just hates it. Please send us some cold weather ;)

Ozzy loved the snow, and never seems to feel the cold at all.  When the ground is wet and muddy he seems to tiptoe a bit out in the garden, but on a walk he doesn't seem to care!!!  :005:

Well my greyhounds and Lurcher are different as they are thin and have very little fur. They all wear coats and shiver when its cold!  :005:
