And what breed/s is/are it/they?

I have a greyhound, and he has a housecoat, a lightweight mac, and a fleece lined waterproof coat. He also has a woolly snood for when it's really cold!

Oh and he has 3 bandanas. But they don't serve a purpose other than make him look cool :o

I have a greyhound too - he is very old and feels the cold. At the last count he has a fleecy housecoat, a warm waterproof coat, a lightweight mac and a knitted jumper to keep his tummy warm. He is considerably better dressed than me Grin

Mine has a jumper( no sleeves) , a fleece coat, a waterproof coat and a scarf that he wears when it's really cold. He doesn't need indoor clothes .

Ok, so greyhounds don't have long hair, but they are waterproof? Coats for indoors? AIBU to find this a slightly odd thread?

jk greyhounds have very thin fur and skin with virtually no body fat, so they get cold very easily, getting drenched in the rain doesn't help. And our house is early 1900's so no wall insulation and it gets very cold at night (dropped to 9 degrees last winter in our bedroom Shock ) but we can't afford to have the heating on all night.

When we adopted him he came with his fleece waterproof :o

None. A big shaggy Labradoodle that doesn't need any but a shave in summer and a Staffy that refuses to leave the comfort of a centrally heated house.

As I said above, they just make him look cool :o

I don't dress him up just for the hell of it (apart from his bandanas), he has clothes to keep him warm and dry. That's the only reason!

My dog is a pug. Apparently they love dressing up! Mine doesn't. I did try with a jumper but she just stood very still looking petrified so I gave up :o

Oops! I do rather like though looking at pictures of dressed up dogs. There's a site where people take pics of their dogs dressed as bees!! Bee dog I think.

Min's a whippy-cross but she is fairly furry, with an undercoat. But still feels the cold as she is delicate and thin (the backdoor is open at this moment so she is wandering around looking very cold).

She has two warm coats, a raincoat and several rather snazzy bandanas. And I have a pattern that my mum gave me, for a snuggly sweater.

I used to have a very tiny rescue yorkie, who had, amongst other things, a lovely Santa suit to wear on Christmas Day. Bought, needless to say, by my then teenage DD ('He looks so cute, Mum!')

When we adopted our dog she came with a bag of stuff which included a full santa outfit. She's never worn it as she'd obvious eaten too much turkey and sprouts and I couldn't get it over her fat arse.

i have a mini Schnauzer and as of yet he has nothing!
After pay day I am going to get him <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=comfort+zone+dog+rug&um=1&hl=en&client=safari&sa=N&rls=en&authuser=0&biw=1024&bih=1015&tbm=isch&tbnid=E1EAucU0CqLdfM:&imgrefurl=www.onlineforequine.co.uk/rugs-coats/6211-comfort-zone-lapel-dog-rug.html&docid=ekUzz2WSlbS4rM&itg=1&imgurl=www.onlineforequine.co.uk/6211-8873-thickbox/comfort-zone-lapel-dog-rug.jpg&w=800&h=800&ei=02ZkUJP1CIq60QWEq4GYCA&zoom=1&iact=rc&dur=456&sig=110118714065256870265&page=1&tbnh=145&tbnw=143&start=0&ndsp=25&ved=1t:429,r:3,s:0,i:80&tx=102&ty=92" rel="nofollow noindex" target="_blank">one of these for when the weather gets really cold. A friend with the same breed has one and they seem great!
Before we got him I was quite against dressing animals (and babies for that matter!) in silly outfits, but I have found my self looking online for a doggy santa outfit or similar! Blush

Oh dear. We are a four greyhound household and I also run a business making greyhound coats and bandanas, so the answer is virtually limitless. In practice, each hound has a (bespoke) fleece housecoat for chilly nights, a light cotton walking out coat for spring/autumn dry days and a selection of light and heavy weight rain coats for wet days. They also have access to a range of bandanas and snoods/scarves, plus I've made a couple of fancy dress costumes for previous dog shows with DNs. I'm currently working on a Christmas coat for the business and inevitably at least one of ours will end up with one (not least because they'll be modelling in the photoshoot). DH refuses to countenance reindeer antlers Grin but I'm working on him. And of course, there's collar porn. A delightful selection of gorgeous martingale collars with matching velvet covered leashes.....
