Default Waterdogs oil sheen on coat.

I bought a yellow lab from a reputable breeder. She doesn't seem to shed water like other labs Ive seen. I inspected her closely and she has both her upper and inner coats. However I take her out and she still shivers even in 40 degree weather. I bought her a neoprene vest and she still shivers. She will not stay out of the water and retrieves like a master but all the whole time lookin miserable and shivering. I did notice that she soaks all the way to the skin despite her dual layers. Some one told me to coat her down with baby oil before a hunt but I don't want to do anything to my dog to hurt her. Any suggeestions?
