Do you think then because of this hair vs fur dilemma he should definitely be wearing a sweater when it gets to snowing and such,for a walk? |
I find my Yorkie feels the cold much more than my double coated Schnauzer...in fact I've been using a light sweater the last few mornings...and come real winter we go all out with a heavier coat and polar fleece boots for her paws. I figure if I can feel the wind through the hair on my head, she can feel it through her body. ( I live just outside the GTA)
