| Snowsuit with footies needed!!!! Ok I am having a hard time finding a snowsuit for tino with footies. I cant put the normal booties on his feet because his little feet are just that...to little for even the smallest size. So I was wondering if any of you yorkietalkers knew of any snowsuit's for these little guys that possibly have waterproof footies attached to keep my little on warm in the snow?? I am really hoping you guys can help! Thanks!

| HAHA! It looks like no one has really seen them. I wish I knew how to put something like that together. Maybe I can figure something out. I would just have to look up some patterns maybe??? Apparently I might be on to something here LOL! If I figure anything out I will let you gals know. I am in Syracuse originally from Rochester so I know exactly what you mean about it snowing all the time. I feel horrible for Tino, he is always so cold. In the meantime, if anyone has seen something like this definately let us know!! We have to protect our babies!!! Not to mention it would be Super CUTE!!!! LOL! Another one of those faces : "mommy, what have you done to me now????"

Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | Let me know if you ever market them! Booties stay on my 11-pounder, but they don't work as well on my 4-pounder. I would give anything a try.

A lot of the booties they make for little dogs aren't functional because they're designed with heels and soles and heavy leather to make them look cute. But the dogs can't walk in them, let alone trudge through the snow. All you need for a functional bootie is a simple sack. Fleece works well, but it soaks up water if the snow is wet. I don't think the material has to be fully waterproof, but it should be water resistant. Keeping them on is another story altogether. I've never considered a suit with footies, but I like the concept. The booties would never fall off. Let me know if anybody needs an official tester!

Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | As for materials, check out Dog Booties. They use something called cordura for their sled-dog quality booties. I asked them about it, and they said it's not waterproof but it doesn't get soaking wet. I figure if it works for sled dogs, it would work for Yorkies. Evidently, they sell the material on their site.
