I am wondering about getting Yorkies to be OK with clothes.
My Foxy doesn't seem to mind so much, but my Maltese just hate their fleece jerseys! But winters here can be quite cold, especially since our houses usually have ceramic tile floors and no built-in heating. My babies are professionally groomed monthly and I have a wardrobe of fleeces for them (they spend most of their days outside and get really grubby sometimes), but you would swear they would rather freeze than wear those jerseys!
These dogs were all rescues which I acquired as adults, so I have no idea what their early years were like. But Puddin' will be coming to us with no bad associations with clothes so we'd like to make sure she doesn't get any. It is summer here right now, so I have a little time before it becomes necessary for her to tolerate winter wear, but our floors are cold and she definitely will need to wear fleeces in winter like the others.
Any suggestions, cautions, insights, warnings? I appreciate anything you can contribute!
PS...I am a pretty fair seamstress if that makes any difference.
