I recommend Smartpak.com for a nice affordable dog jacket. They have nice ones with a warm thinsulate lining but they also have a water proof outer shell. Smartpak was originally just a catalog for horse things, but they now have a huge dog section with some really good horse blanket inspired dog jackets.

Looks like a very serious hiker in this one, I hear, "I can do it, I can reach the summit - I bet they'll be snacks at the summit - mmmm snacks!"

<p>@Julia (well-put post) ;) Jon, like your springer, gets snow balls between the tops of some toes. The longer, finer hair sticks to the snow and then the friction creates a ball. I noticed yesterday, however, that the snow doesn't stick when the air outside is very cold and dry. Yeah, fluffs would be miserable herding and heeling in cold, damp Wales.

Hi! Fluffies have a softer, less coarse strand of hair. The standard coated corgi (remember that the fluffy coat is a serious breed standard fault) does have two distinct coats and there is almost no differentiation in the fluffy coat. Linus' fur grows fast between his toe pads and requires clipping or he loses footing on the hardwood floor. The snow balls up under his arm pits and if I'm not relatively proactive in toweling him, his coat would remain clammy. Much less work on Bear and…

<p>Speaking as a Wisconsin human, let me extrapolate <---------using big words proves I am human.</p>
<p>Born and raised in Wisconsin I am accustomed to cold. Heavy coated corgis are good for cold temps.</p>
<p>Being a whiny princess, I hate the wind, wind-chill, sleet and all related precipitation, and make sure my outer clothing is water/windproof. I always wear boots. Being a puppy, a young corgi may object to other aspects of weather than just the temp.</p>

<p>Therefore, go for waterproof, lightly lined, perhaps a thin fleece lining. Even Florida can have it's winter primadonnas! Just ask my Florida relatives who visit here without even a warm pair of socks. Don't even ask about my Jamaican relatives!</p>
<p>As for fluffy ice balls, my springers gets ice balls between the toes. It seems to be a springer thing, having to do with the type of hair they have + the temp and humidity. Sometimes they need boots, sometimes not. Do fluffies have this same type of hair between the toes, or all over? Does it only happen at certain temps and humidities? I would love to hear, since I have been trying to figure out how best to deal with the springer issue.</p>

What's up with the snow pearls; Jon - my fluff - gets those, too. His are more like walnuts though. I pull them off and he eats them. :) Mine certainly don't act like cold bothers them, but heat sure does.

yeayea, double coat, panting, etc. I understand all that. She'll barely go outside to go too the bathroom, staying by the house and then sprinting indoors when done. And she looks at us like we're nuts and walks away when we suggest going for a walk, and tries to turn around if we do indeed get her outside. Very stubborn Olive, lol.

Since it's been cold (and the humid Florida cold is nasty thick this year so far...) she's also taken to wiggling under our blanket with us, or crawling underneath the pillows. We just thought maybe a little sweater/jacket for the outside occasions wouldn't hurt as long as she's not frapping for hours in it. In Florida?

<p>In Florida? I've actually considered dog clothing for the Washington Cascades, but what I want most is some kind of sun shade for summer above timberline. They wilt in the heat.</p>
