How dirty is your dog?

[FiveHoursSleep]

Our lurcher who just died has very fine hair that hosed off very easily, and our GSD X is very 'wipe clean' despite being a bit fluffy. Water and mud seems to run off him.
But our new rescue dog has a completely different coat altogether and seems to soak up dirt, then discharge it in small pieces once he's dried off a bit.
I'm not complaining but he's quite short haired ( like a lab) so I was expecting him to be cleaner.
What's your dog's coat like and how dirty does he/she get?

I have lurchers - ddog is very fine coated, and it all just falls off en routel, or very quickly rinsed off. Dpuppy has more coat, but can still be wiped.
The long legs help with not getting too filthy too

we've two GSDs, one has a soft floofy silky coat and picks up mud, filth, sand, burrs, sticky boggles, twigs, grass heads....ALL THE THINGS

the other has a more wiry but still longish coat and is like teflon...never ever dirty! Muddy feet and puddles excepted.

DDog seems to be Teflon coated and no matter where we've walked, mud has fallen off and he has dried by the time we're home. It helps he's a total pansy though and will take a 10 minute detour rather than go through a puddle.

Our first dog (same breed but with long hair, rather than the short coat we have now) was the complete opposite and I'm pretty sure had hippo in his ancestry somewhere. Have you seen that meme of the lab (I think) of a dog totally submerged in a muddy puddle? That was Herman's idea of the BEST DAY EVER.

I love the description teflon coated- that is exactly what DDog1 is.
DDog2 is not.

I have a Boston Terrier who rolls around in mud, gets stuck under trees. I don't know what he's got on his coat right now (tree sap!?) but it's hard and sticky and just will not come out. To be fair though, it's usually just his paws that get really dirty and I clean those every day with wet wipes.

I bathe him when he gets a bit stinky and I've got time. Which will probably be tomorrow!!

As Border Collie owner I think things nest and take up residence in her coat (but she does seem to shake off mud quite easily)

A show cocker in full coat, attracts dust, twigs, debris of any description etc etc etc from a hundred miles away, forever sweeping up a fine layer if dust from wherever he's decided to go in the house

Staffy/JRT cross - she is white so shows the dirt. She also has lots of JRT style spots on her coat - new ones developing all the time (I heard a little kid ask its parent if she was a dalmatian!) The other week we dropped some Frappuccino on her head, without realising and got all excited she had a new spot. Her spots are exactly like coffee stains. She got golden syrup on her face the other day and often coal from the coal bucket. She shows the dirt like nobody's business. I have had white bull terriers before and never one that was such a muck magnet. My late, lamented, red bull terrier didn't show the dirt at all but her fur, when she moulted, was like little spines and they took forever to hoover out of the carpet. This one - so far - hasn't moulted as much.

There's a huge variation isn't there?
One Teflon coated dog here - some spitz type genes in there - avoids mud and water and comes home as white as he leaves despite walking in very muddy wet places ( does make an exception for fox poo though )
Two Sprollies with quite feathery silky coats who go through muddy ditches and thick ground cover every day but wash their own paws when they get home and are pretty much Ok
One retriever type who is like a mud seeking missile and despite being hosed down before coming in the house basically wanders around casting dried mud everywhere, all day, every day. Sigh.
