Yorkies do have a hard time keeping warm. I know my dog appreciates any way I give her to keep warm. She is much more comfortable with her pajamas on. I don't understand the thinking of who ever said that their body would "adjust" to wearing clothing. Clothing helps to keep the body heat in so they are warmer. I have to put Gracie's warmer clothing on her when I turn on the AC during the summer so they can get cold at any time of year. If your dog has never worn clothing it may take some time to get him accustomed to having them on. Most enjoy it once they find they are not cold anymore.
