So I bought Matthias a beautiful sweater to wear for when we have to out or for his potty visits outside. I think dressing him up is going to be fun as his wardrobe expands. However, my husband is scoffing at it all. He understands the sweater since it is chilly out and Matt is still a puppy. But his whole stance on clothes for animals is "I can't understand putting clothes on a dog when it has to deal with all that fur nature gave it already to keep it warm. Poor dogs have to be sweating to death."

Yorkies are small breeds and I have heard that they just don't put out the body heat of a larger breed. I have also heard that one of the reasons doggie clothes, especially for toy breeds, is so popular is not only because they are cute, but also because they are necessary.

I would like some confirmation on the necessary part if there is any. I would also like to hear what other think in general on doggie clothes.

Thanks much!
