[NAGDU] gallant hearts

[Julie Johnson]

I am currently working a Doberman guide.  No, she doesn't particularly like the cold, but she's quite agreeable to wearing a coat when it's really cold. She tolerated the heat better than any of my other dogs, until she developed health issues recently.   Her coat is super easy to care for, a massaging brush once a week and a wipe down with a wash cloth every once in a while.  She does shed, but because her coat is short, and there is no undercoat, the shedding is minimal.

She does like to have a blanket to sleep.  She will even cover herself up with it.  I find this endearing and happily provide her with her very own blanket.
