| Does your Yorkie where clothing? Why or Why not? I know that this is a big debate among dog owners, especially those with small breeds such as the yorkie. I was wondering what everyone's opinion is. I haven't ever bought Muffy clothes because I had heard negative things. So tell me what you think! If you do like clothing for dogs, where do you like to get them from? Thanks for the answers Muffy says "Hello!" |

| I think you'll find that most of us here dress our babies. Not just the girls, the boys wear clothes too My babies love their clothes. Especially when it's cold outside. Mine have pjs and bath robes too (as a lot of others here do too) You mentioned that you haven't purchased any becuase of the comments you've heard others make...if you like something, want it and can afford it, then you should get it. Don't live your life worrying about what other people think. It's your life and your money. Stand up for yourself. As for where I get my clothes...well, I get them everywhere. My favorite place is right here on YT! If you haven't seen it there's a section on items for sale and YTers stores. But I gotten them from on line stores, ebay, pet stores, Walmart, Target, the list goes on and on. Heck even the Harley D store has them let someone say a smart comment to a biker and see what happens Hope that helps. Here's a photo of my Bijou in her onesie we got yesterday. Can't wait to see photos of your baby in some clothes And yes, she has a stroller too. They are great for taking them shopping in clothing type of store with you. Welcome to YT!!!

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | Morgan wears clothes in the winter when its cold. she has sweaters, sweat shirts and pjs. she had a cotton coat that mats underneath clothes so i have to keep her hair short if i'm gonna dress her.

YT 500 Club Member | My baby weighs 8 lbs and is not good in heat. She does not like to be too warm. So I don't dress her when it is a warm day or when the house is warm. I prefer to dress her only to keep her warm, which I have done frequently in the winter. However, I also have had her little legs come out of an outfit, which could be dangerous if I didn't notice and she were to jump off the bed or couch. So I weigh the option (which I did when considering getting one of those Snuggies) cute or a broken leg? Now you do the math. Last winter, when we had the heat turned down during the day while we were at work, I put a fairly tight sweater on her to keep her warm (and tight to keep her safe).

| Oh yes, my baby wears clothes. Mostly for warmth or sometimes just to be cute! She sleeps in p.j's but loves her tee shirts the most. I don't do much of the dresses. We do alot of tee shirts, jammies, tank top in the summer, sweaters and winter coats. She is 4.4 lbs and loves them. |

| I dress my lil Pixie bc she gets cold and my dog Daisy loves clothes! In fact I was putting on Pixie's sweater and Daisy got all excited and tried to push her way through the sweater so I went and got Daisy's shirt to wear and she was thrilled. So.......I think some dogs love clothes!! It is all in how you approach it!

| Josh does not wear clothes. Sometimes, I want to buy him some cute clothes. I always decide not to buy him clothes, because he mats easily when he wears clothes. I l desire Josh to have a long coat, so he does not wear clothes. If I decide to give Josh a short haircut, then he will start wearing clothes. |

| Yes I dress my male Bailey, mainly when it's cold, or for pic taking it's getting extremely cold where I live now, so I've been bundling him up in sweaters and coat before going outside.

| In the summer 90% of the time Layla does not wear clothes- sometimes I put a little shirt on her or a dress- but usually she is naked. In the winter she HAS to wear clothes. Yorkies do not have an under coat and can't maintain their heat very well in the winter. Layla has sweatshirts, sweaters, winter coats and pj's. If you are worried about what other people think- stop. These are OUR babies- they can think what they want but just do what you feel comfortable with. People are ALWAYS making fun of Layla's hair bows. I try my best to explain if she does NOT Have something in the hair- she can't see. They think i do it for looks- when it is really function- same with clothes! |

| CoCoa B. does not wear clothes. I tried it but he manages to take them off, so I stopped putting clothes on him.
