Well, we live in an old house and can control the temperature ourselves but I don't see much sense in suffering from the cold just to keep my dog beautiful

What I found strange was that even though my csv was almost "naked" in January, she loved spending time outdoors in -25 C. She was running a lot and playing with other dogs (to keep warm?) but neither showed any signs of being cold nor wanted to go back home

Also this coat makes it difficult to wash out all the smelly things out of it

Exactly!!!! A few weeks ago she gave herself a 'beauty bath' in something that looked like remains of wolves' feast.

When she came running my husband joked that we could easily win a dogtrailing competition.

Despite our efforts the echo of this smell still crops up from time to time
