Dog Jacket

[2sp_]

Can anyone recommend a jacket for a dog?

I'm looking for something to keep her warm and dry when she's working, maybe something made of neoprene?

I'd be grateful for any suggestions.

Surely a working gundog breed is bred to have a weatherproof coat? However if you really feel you need one Hurtta make some exceptional coats.

I just don't want her getting cold when she gets wet. I think most dogs would start to chill if they were cold and wet.

I've actually found a neoprene one that also has pockets for floatation inserts which will be handy if she's anything like our last spaniel who would swim until she ran out of steam!

Just browsing - found this:

What breed is she 2sp?

Thanks for the links, lankeela and shoota.

The one you found shoota is pretty much the one I found too. She's a Springer.

I have two Cockers - mother and daughter. My son (a 'keeper) has father and son.
They're loopy.....

She is mental. Our last one was mental until she got to about 13 or so, and was slightly less bonkers for the last couple of years of her life (we had her until she was 15.).

Lovely dogs, a lot of work though! You need to be tough with them, as I'm sure you know.

What colour are your cockers?

The sire is black, dam is blue roan, pups are black with white blazes (but they are only 6 months so that may disappear.) My girl went out with me on the game cart for the first time on Tuesday and loved it. :-)

I love cockers (yes, I am aware of what I just typed.).

Dee (our last dog) was a petite springer, and Ness (the new pup) seems to be shaping up the same way. Her father and mother are both quite tidy dogs. Handy for sitting in the tractor with Mr P!
