| How Cold Does It Get Before You Dress Your Yorkie How cold does it get before you put a shirt on your Yorkie? My lil' girl has a very thin coat, but my lil' guy is a big puff ball. |

| I keep my house at 66. so far they don't appear to be cold. They run out to potty without a coat, but if I were going to have them out playing for an extended period of time, I would put coats on them. |

| If you're chilly, chances are that your yorkie is too. That's the rule I go by. It varies on climate. If you live in Florida, 60 is cold for you. But if you live in Alaska, 60 definetly isn't cold!

| Tika always wear something outdoors, but recently she's starting to wear her sweatshirt & coat. We're at 43 degrees today. In our house, it's usually 75 to 78 degrees - she only wears her diapers

| Sissy is always dressed if we go out somewhere. This fall she is dressed pretty much daily cause the house is freezing!!! I put coats on her to go outside to do her business once it gets really cold outside.

| Gracie tells me when she is cold. It has not taken long to figure out that low 50's and colder she needs a coat or a sweater. Mid 50's to upper 50's a t-shirt will do unless it is raining.

| I don't use shirts or jackets in the house because I keep it pretty warm. ( I am cold natured, lol) I do start putting jackets on mine if we are going "out" somewhere (other than a show when they are in my warm suv) If we venture out here in town, well it's pretty "nippy" here now in early Novemeber, I will put a quilted jacket on them. I usually don't need to put anything on them here after March. And in all honesty, I hate what their jackets do to their hair but if we are in "off season" like we will be after December, I will surely dress them before taking them out. I just make sure to mist and comb them out nice after we get home. Our little, older "red leg" girl doesn't have so much hair as the rest, so we tend to dress her more often. My daugther has 4 different outfits for her and walks her 1/2 mile and back every other day. The best jacket for her that I have found has been the "sherpa jacket" that petedge used to sell. I haven't seen them available in a while. |

| I live in California so when we see its under 65 outside that is cold..LOL. I do keep my house cool, I think its the tile on the floor and insulation, but I figure if I am in sweats and my feet and nose are cold, my little furbabies that are on the floor must be a little chilly Ü Thank you everyone for your input!! |

| Loki only wears a t-shirt or sweatshirt in the house if it's exceptionally cold in here and he and I are shivering. Otherwise it's like 72 in here Plus he is usually snuggling in one of my 5 fleece blankets. Some days even if it's really cold he will only tolerate a t-shirt or light sweatshirt. I put his COAT on him if it snows or if I take him in the car early in the morning and don't warm it up first. Then he's in his coat and wrapped in a blanket. He lets me know if he is hot or not comfortable and wants his shirt off. He will rub up against the couch or do his "ugh there is something on me" dance where he rolls all over the floor.

Donating YT 2000 Club Member | We're in the low desert here in S. Calif. The little ones generally wear a sweatshirt, sweater, or shirt. The dogs run in and out the doggie door to go potty so I don't usually try jackets. If we go out somewhere the little ones have coats, and warmer sweaters. Abbi loves to wear dresses so she does when we go out. |

| Mine are always dressed when we go out except in the summer when it is hot. However, they don't wear clothes in the house. We keep the house very warm, I get cold very easily so we keep it warm. And all the dogs stay warm too. I would say we keep it atleast at 75 degrees.
