Of my 4, Leo & Jaspar have the lightest natural coats of hair (the girls have much heavier coats). Jaspar would almost never begin to shiver with coldonly when we had all that snow last winter and the temperature was below 0 C. Leo on the other hand, often starts shivering if he gets wet at all and I try to remember to bring along a coat if we are going on a walk where he's likely to get wet. Even on a warm day, he would start to shiver once he's wet (but of course he absolutely loves getting wet! A bit of a chicken and egg situation).
