The part about them being sensitive to temperature that's stated in that link, can't be more spot on. From what I've read of other board members and from observing my own. She may not complain about it, but you know when she's miserable and cold! Just yesterday, while we were out, there was sun, but in the shade it was CHILLY. When we're not on the move, I can see her shivering from the cold. Once we're in the sun again, even when we're not on the go, she does not shake. She only shook a little bit after I wrapped my jacket around her while I was sitting outside waiting for someone.

What I've also noticed is that as much as she hates baths, she doesn't whine and whimper when the water is warmer than recommended for bathing dogs. Especially when I just use the shower head on her, she gets miserable while she's wet and getting colder with only shampoo, etc, on her. If she's continually under the warm water, she doesn't shake at all and no whimpers. So in this way, she's no different from me.
