shaaark 10,184 Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 Well if you want to keep height and staying power, plus better coat, I'd go for a good deer/grey 2 Quote Link to post

Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 I had a rough coated dog with skin like tissue paper. My red bitch (mixed lurcher) has got pretty thin coat but skin like a rhino. The new addition to my team (bull X cocker) has also got very thin coat like a whippet but skin like leather. 2 completely different things in my opinion and you probably want to find a stud dog with both a good coat and good skin. Just something to think about. 2 Quote Link to post
bigjase1 159 Posted September 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 I thinking behind the rough or broken coat is she does feel the cold more when she running she warms up but walking the land she feels it more yes I have a kennel coat and use it but pain when you got to remove coat before slip if that makes sense She has great prey drive and runs for ages I could just stick to day time with her so colder nights don't affect her but I love lsmping to much lol so if I put a Bette coat over her the pups should be better for the colder nights Quote Link to post

Somewhereyournot 1,117 Posted September 17, 2016 Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 Gotta be honest, do dogs really feel the cold walking n running at night? Only time I could think about being cold would be standing over a Warren... People using whippets in snow amd no problem. With the weather only getting warmer for longer I'd stick to a smooth coat personally. NL, your dogs are wheaton xs don't fib lol Atb Quote Link to post
