Do you have all-weather dogs?

Morgan only likes it outside if it's not windy, isn't raining, isn't snowing, etc. She likes a nice spring day with a tiny bit of a breeze. She's absolutely terrified of wind as well as rain, and thinks snow is too cold.
Winston tolerates snow and rain, but he has barely any coat and gets cold easily. As long as it's not snowing or raining though, he's fine.
Dance's paws get cold easily in the snow, but she likes it anyway. I'd say she's pretty much an all weather sort of dog. She hasn't seen rain since she was really young though, so I don't know what she really thinks of it now. I can't see her not liking it though.

Sadly, yes. Rain, arctic temps, snow, wind...doesn't matter. If there's water nearby, heat doesn't bother them in the least. Thunderstorms are a toss up...if we're already outside and it's not a major one, they're both fine. Sawyer doesn't give a whit about storms anyway, but Virgo would rather be under my bed or in the tub.
My dogs have grown up in Arizona..so they are used to the extreme heat..they don't like it though (can you blame them?) so are very lazy during the summer months. They experienced snow for the first times a couple months back, we took them up to the snow at our cabin. They LOVED it..I have no doubt they would have a blast if we lived in the snow. I would say they prefer cooler weather over the heat.
Kharma is basically bulletproof. Doesn't matter to her, although one night when we were out walking late, when we headed home we were walking into a fierce, frigid wind and she was ready to get home - as was I!
Neither Kharma nor Bimmer is fazed by rain, cold, snow, thunder, sun, etc., but I do try to keep Bimmer inside when it's really hot since I know his black coat, even though it's highly reflective, will soak up heat. He's really good about finding cool places though.
Kharma's coat repels water like crazy - the opposite of Shiva's. I can only figure it's the difference between a Fila from unadulterated working lines and one from show lines.
