Also, how do you protect Yorkies from the cold when going for a walk? Sweaters?

thanks

Definitely coats and sweaters and sometimes both, depending how cold it is. You may want to remember that they are very small and besides that they do not have the undercoat to keep them warm that most other dogs have, so, yes, they get cold quite easily. So do their ears!
