It might really depend on your yorkie, their personality and their coat type. I think yorkies are like people, some are cold natured and some are not. |
Yeah, it's weird. Jackson spent many days out in the snow last year w/o clothes on. He loved it! Even now, we've had a few pretty cold days, the nights getting down to the 30's last week and he did fine w/o a coat or anything. He's 12.5lbs so he's got a bit more "body" to keep him warm, LOL, but his hair is really short now. I noticed the other day, it was pouring rain and in the 40 degree weather, when I put him in the car he started shivering! But when we're walking around outside, he's fine. It's just when we get in the car (the car is often colder than it really is outside, ha!) I think when he's active outside, running around, etc, he just doesn't think about it maybe. I'm going to get him 1 or 2 hoodies to wear for the winter just because I like his hair shorter so I'll keep him warm if he needs it
