You were lucky, we had to skin ourselves with a rusty opinel to make a jacket 

We never had an opinel

Never put a coat on a dog , but what ever ones been lamping will generally sleep in the house when we get home and after a long day on the hill they all tend to bunker down in the living room or kitchen 

Lovely picture fellah

I've just been out to get kids some new winter duvets, so dogs have a nice duvet and cover each sat on top of sofa cushions in kennels. I need to sort some draft excluders, deciding whether to buy a roll or pvc or get them ready made...also going to get a green tarp or something to cable tie to exposed side of kennel to stop rain blowing in, any suggestions?

Think these are cheaper than a coat

both my 1xs , have great coats,brill in cold/wet day/night, Buck got real thick coat , but i still towel him down after hard night  dry/wet, massage  always helps with stiffness , and good heat lamp, always get your dog to full stretch, roll in ball etc, bad on cold wet night.
