My two are out in all weathers - neither mind it, and tbh I don't really mind going out.  Once I'm out I'm fine, it's the getting ready to go out that I hate!  Mine start parading round me at about 8.45 ready for the last walk of the evening, it's scary how accurate they are with the timing!

Chloe hates going in the garden for a pee when it's raining, but doesn't mind going for  a walk. Having said that, if it's blowing a hooley and raining horizontallly, we don't go out and she doesn't seem to mind in the slightest. She's never pestered me to go out, but she does sometimes pester me for attention in the evenings, if she thinks I've been on the lap-top too long, or if we've got visitors and I'm talking too much  :005:

Coco isn't keen on the rain so is quite happy to forego her walk if it is piddling down  :luv:  In fact if it is raining when I go to let her out of the car, she usually refuses and I have to lift her out  ::) :005:

Freya my older cocker is not too bad.....she is content to walk to the village on pavements, if it is too wet to go to the moors.............but, the boys are quite different.  They really sulk, and whine.  They just love being free to run, and don't really like the restriction of their leads.  I try to tell them that I hate the rain, and wouldn't they rather have a nice short walk and then a treat for being good, quiet boys.................but, it doesn't work.  I usually end up putting on the wellies, and coming back muddy, saturated, and cold...............then....it's my turn to sulk. :embarassed:

I forgot to add that even though Duggie and Tia love to go out for a good off lead walk in all weathers, they won't go out in to the garden for a pee in the rain, they take one look out of the door and go back inside! :P

Exactly the same thing here.......they will venture out when they can have their usual fun, but in the garden it's a no no........I have to stand out there for ages until they give in.  :005:

They will take one look and say no not today mum and actually hide and sit on the sofa refusing to move. There funny creatures Cockers.  :shades:  :005:

Mine are exactly the same, apparently the rain out the front door is different from the rain out the back  :lol2:

I think its there way of saying "you want me out in this weather, its gonna be for an off lead run"

I think Honey's reaction at dog club yesterday sums it up...

We got there just as the heavens opened... got out to be told that the session was cancelled due to the weather, but we were welcome to use the field for a bit to give her a run... while I was being told this, she was cowering by the gate...  ::)

I let her off the lead and, despite the fact that she knew I had tennis balls in my pocket, she headed off at full speed, pausing briefly for a glance which quite clearly said "Come on, Mum!!!"....  straight back to the car, where she wimpered until I caught her up and let her back inside!!!!  :005:  ::)  Don't think she would have made a good working dog... she refuses to lie down in wet grass, too....  :005:

Betty will go out in all weather and I don't mind as long as I'm well wrapped up. I don't think we've missed a day in the two and a half years we've had her.

Ranger hates the rain as well but LOVES the snow -and as we are in Canada we'll have lots of that from Dec to April - his energy level goes up, he runs, jumps & is full of beans. Rain ,on the other hand, - he drags along  for the briefest possible walk & has to be pushed out into the garden to relieve himself.
