| Oh no, please don't do that. Gosh, first off someone could steal them, secondly they are two tiny and fragile, and in the summer it is so hot. Why would you want to leave a Yorkie outside? |

| I don't know of anyone who lets their Yorkies stay outside unattended. Mine certainly do not. Any number of things can happen. They could be stolen, an animal could kill them, a bird of prey could also kill them, they could dig themselves out and so on. |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | No !! they'd be miserable and it's also very dangerous. Bigger dogs can handle summer months & maybe some actually perfer being outside.. but not yorkies !! why would you even want to leave your dog outside ??? I hope this is a bad joke or something.. |

| Absolutely not! No dog should be left outside...they should be kept inside and treated as part of your family...after all, that's what they are..... |

| I would never leave my baby girl outside!! I don't even hardly let my girl out of my sight... the only time I do is when I go to work. If I'm not at work, then she is with me whereever I am! |

| toys I feel the same way about leaving a toy dog outside as leaving a toddler outside to entertain itself all day...doesn't work well...and heat causes so many skin problems..plus flies and gnats. |

| My opinion only, not no, but never, in any weather. They need supervision just like a baby. Birds of prey can attack in a heartbeat and they are nationwide.

| I would say NO!!!! My babies never even touch the ground. We have our front and back porch fenced for them. They have doggie doors to run in and out.
