[nabs] Guide dog coats?

[Laura Glowacki]

My dog is a german shepherd.  She's built very long and skinny, 
right now she's underweight actually, and her fur while long is 
not very thick even in the winter which is part of the reason she 
gets cold I think.  Plus she's just a bit of a baby as most 
shepherds are to some extent.  Lol.

Maybe it's because I have a German Shepherd, but my dog just 
doesn't seem to get cold too easily.  I haven't had to get her 
anything yet.  What breeds are your dogs?  Spike
