I know I have seen some of your pups in suits that cover them up pretty well- I am considering these for the boys for snow and rain and was wondering if you all could share your source. I think it was Debbie's Sam that had an adorable red coverall last year...

I just bought Jillee a snow suit from petedge....I am going to take pictures of it here in a little bit and post one here...the only think we have noticed is that her one leg comes out of the pants part...will have to work on it....she just stood there when I put it on her last night....she didn't know that she could move in it!!!!

40 degrees! Oh my - we'll be getting into the negative digits here pretty soon. I thought dog coats were SILLY but today is really cold (25 degrees) here in Wisconsin and windy and poor little Marvin was shivering - I guess they are a necessity. He was fine when he was running, but any colder - yeah, we'll go coat shopping.

Missy,

Carol, Havs are not built for the cold since they have hair and not fur so they definitely need coats! Kubrick starts to shiver when it gets below 30 degrees (it's only happened twice so far), so I put a sweater or coat on him at that point. Of course, he doesn't mind clothes AT ALL, so I guess I lucked out in that regard. ;)

Wow! Leeann..that is SOME list of vendors! I thought I saw alot at the show here, and there was probably only 20, but not as diverse as that list. A few vendors were like 'mini mart' stores, tylenol, tampons, hairspray... all those type of things I guess people forget? lol

This doesn't belong here, but how do you start a new thread? I get so frustrated because I can't find the thread starter and all these new people do it all the time!! Sorry for hijacking this thread to find out....oh, I may be getting Izzy a snowsuit too....she doesn't seem to mind the cold too much yet, but that will probably change...

There she goes being a BRAT again! :frusty: :biggrin1:

I went to the Mtl. UKC dog show last Friday and bought this really neat snowsuit for Ricky. It's a touch too big, so will have to ask MIL if she can take it in, but it really covers the hairy legs, belly and neck. Sammy is going to wear the red coat we had for Ricky as a pup. It fits Sammy perfectly. :)

Judy, click on Forums on the top toolbar the select the type of discussion you would like to start a thread in. Once you click that you will notice a New Thread box at the top to the left, click that and you are ready to go. Hope this helps, I am terrible at giving directions lol.

Kara – I still think you should come to Boston to go shopping with me.

Marj, the kids look great in their new snowsuits, I love it. We are going to need video updates now.

Marj--

Your new snowsuit looks really nice. Do you know what brand it is?

Scout was just a pup last winter, so we didn't let him out in the snow. I am still nervous about letting him play in the snow -- I'm afraid he'll blend right in and we won't be able to find him.

Thanks.

I was just reading the Fido Friendly magazine that they gave us the hotel we stayed at with Scout, and I came across an ad for the most amazing-looking (and expensive) snowsuit. The brand is K9 topcoat. It does look like it would really simplify the post snow-romp grooming chore.

I am a BIG advocate of snow suits....If I can find a way to reduce a pic, I will show everyone why (I just sent the pic to Kim at her Web site)

I bought my suit from K9 Topcoats (on the Web). They have a booth at most of Portland dog shows..

This is WHY I am an advocate of snow coats. this pic was taken of my Hav's first time in the snow..which she loved!
by the time I caught her though this is what resulted (her poor pee-pee looked FROZEN!) I had to put her in a warm bath to melt it all off...

Diane, I didn't know your last name, so when I just opened your email I wondered if that was you. Funny picture. I have a similar one from last January:



This is Maddie (now owned by MaddiesMom on this forum). We went to New Mexico last January and it was also her first snow discovery. She had a blast in it. She had me laughing so hard as she was doing her runlikehells through the mounds of snow in my friend's back yard. Her own Havanese thought Maddie was a crazy girl. Ha ha! I think that is my only experience with snow and Havanese though, so no snow suits yet. I have Parkas for all of them for when we plan to hit Lake Tahoe this winter, but it hasn't happened yet.
