Are you fer real, mine have never worn coats, and never seen em shiver yet, and im out everyday during the winter months no matter what the weather, perhaps your whippets were raised on a shivering tit Well l have seen a few even a few whippet xs and if the not on the move all the time on cold winter morning and raining they shaver like mad may be yours don't but don't till what l have seen with my own eyes. Why do people always get there back up when someone says anything that puts down the dog they run. If whippets and greyhound didn't feel the cold then why do greyhound men always have greyhound in coats when walking when its cold????? Quote Link to post
