My yorkies aren't snobs, but I think I shih tzu was so use to being in an apartment during his "formative years" that he hates the grass. He will play all day long as long as he is under the AC and when he is tired and hot he actual goes and lays in front of the fan or the nearest vent. It is the cutest thing ever. He also hates walking and while my yorkies do too they will at least humor me for a little it. He refuses to walk anywhere unless its to the kitchen
