I was getting ready to take the dog out yesterday, and the temperature was 12 , the wind was blowing about 20-30mph straight at my front porch. I opened the door…I’d never seen a dachshund run backwards up till then.
Dogs with short coats have no more protection from the elements than your head does with its hair. Double coated dogs have some protection, and arctic breeds fare best, but poodles and dogs with hair, not fur, do not have any better protection, despite the length of their coat.

Does Poncho think he’s of the Xoloitzcuintli breed? Those pups don’t have ANY fur!
