Yorkies do not have undercoats. That is what keeps a dog warm in the winter and cool in the summer. So whether your Yorkie has long hair or short hair, I would recommend a coat or sweater for walks in the winter. They do get cold easily. My boys can only handle about 5 mins outside in super cold days before their little paws start to freeze and they start to shake with cold.
