| I'm not sure at about what temperature, but if it feels cold to me then it is probably cold to them.

| Sissy gets cold really easily, so when the temp gets in the low 60's without sun, she needs something on or she will shiver.

Seriously though, if it is pretty cold outside and your YOrkie is out, he/she may need a coat or sweater and certainly a good idea if it is raining. BUt some get too warm with a sweater. My Ben would stop moving if he got too hot. I would put my hand under the sweater or coat to see if he was too warm, take it off and see what he would do. IF he continued on, then he was getting too hot. | |

Coat type will make a difference, a thinner silkier coat or a short hair cut will be different from a thicker soft coated yorkie or one that wasn't cut short. | |
