Yes, they are very warm.
When I had three of these I finally understood the saying, "a-three-dog-night." It would be a very cold night, indeed.
They are very cute and warm. I have a Dalmatian dog, and is stubborn when she is playing with other dogs.
I'm afraid the dogs can't come because of Australia's quarantine restrictions, but I would love to come to Spain and see the breed working the mountain flocks some day. I've had this breed for most of my adult life. Lily is my fifth Pyr. They are lovely, but stubborn.
Lily and Luna are welcome to Spain to visit the land of their ancestors!
