We’re all the same on here fella we all do things differently and do what we thinks right but it’s not wrong or right it’s just right by how we do things 

I’d just get in the local pet shop try some coats on the dog take some photos on ya phone ie size/style don’t take ya partner/wife then just say you gotta clear it with the other half…..then just go order offline the size an type you want

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

Just get a bigger blizzard coat if you like them, they go up to 30"

The greyhound kennel coats and walking out coats are all much the same

Behave you! It’s not one of them shivering skin an bone saluki bred things we don’t stand we keep moving or running on mate mine has a pretty decent natural coat tbh but always make sure a dogs properly  dried through after a night out or day out before bedding a dog down. What you’ve described sounds a perfect nights lamping weather.

I could and have got away no coat mate but on a freezing cold day rain coming down wind howling with no cover for miles it'll cut threw any dogs coat   I'd have your digging itself into the side a the first Dyke we come to

Well, when I say opinel, it was just a lump of discarded corrugated iron covered in asbestos, but it was opinel to us

Lamped many a nights on cold windy rainy sleety night with different dogs over the years but we’re moving about probably different if it’s miles of looking slow an steady walking abouts.  best coat on any running dog I’ve had or we have had as been collie xs

See we all have a soft side that’s what retirement looks like in our gaff pillow an blanket

Lamping your hugging hedges coming threw hedges etc mate and normally run after run

Daytime you can be in the middle of it 

Not saying I haven't had nights were I've had to tuck up in cover soaked to the bone wind ruining me

My dogs never come in the house....... Never fancied cuddling up on the sofa with 40kg of bull X ,so the least I can do is jacket up the bitch anyway, the dog won't wear one....As  I have been involved with greyhounds for years too ,I just find it natural to jacket a dog after exercise anyhow, keep a dog warm and it will recover quickly after its been working, keeping  weight loss and injury to  a minimum.
