I don't have a dog, but I've been looking into various breeds so that when I'm ready, I'll have a pretty good idea of what breed I'd like to get. The most recent breed I've looked at is the brittany. My husband pointed out to me that it has a single coat. To me that sounds like it means that it might get cold in cold weather and it won't shed as much. He was concerned that it would mean that in wet weather, it will get soaked instead of its coat repelling the rain like some double coated breeds. I'm pretty sure that issue has more to do with hair texture than whether on not it's a double-coated breed. I would think that when the weather is particularly wet, the dog is going to get soaked regardless of it being double or single coated and a single coat would dry faster than a double coat.
So, those with experience, how does coat type affect how wet a dog gets on a rainy day walk...
