Lets talk about rain

It was shared today on social media a program on TV where a TV vet told someone their dog did not like going out in the rain because they were flat faced breeds, would probably find it difficult to go out side in the rain as they can not breathe. 

Let me just say what rubbish that is.   Vets should not really give advice on this kind of thing as they are just medical doctors on dogs. 

Have any of you seen a Vizsla and the rain?  You open the door and they go to step out and go OMG RAIN! Run back in and quiver.  The Vizsla has a long nose. It is a Gundog.   It is not because they have short noses or flat faces. They just think sod that!

It's a bit like me looking out the window thinking do I really have to walk the dogs in that rain.  I then look at the met office app and see if the rain will leave off in the hour and then I make a decision to go now or wait.  Should I have another cup of tea first.  Pondering what to do.  Well the dogs can be very similar, thinking if I go back in now I will go out later. 

I own 3 pet frenchies, not breeding dogs!  I open the door in the rain and they fly outside spinning around wanting to go on a hike!

Some dogs will go back inside and pee rather than go outside.  Some dogs you push out the door and they reluctantly go for a wee, jumping puddles as they go.  Quickly spinning around to come back in. 

I have two Bracco girls both different.  1 is a princess and looks at rain and wants to stay inside. The other flies outside and wants to go for a hike in any weather. 

So it is down to if the dogs like rain or not.  If they want to go for a walk or not. 

Do not believe everything you hear on these TV programs as it's just nonsense.
