They all passed away due to age and I don't hunt anymore.
We got Cocoa because my Sister In Law couldn't take care of her. She is around a year old and very small.
She is cold all the time. She shakes. She is healthy. The only thing we have purchased is a small Cape that has two Velcro straps.
I like to shop online. I am having a hard time trying to buy online for her.
I guess I am going to have to take her to a store and get a baseline.
Took her to the groomers the other day and there were two other Yorkies.
Cocoa was half the size of both of them. |
Not all dog clothes are created equally. The best way to get the correct size is to measure the girth of your baby (all the way around ,just behind the front legs) and the length from collar to base of tail. It will make shopping a lot easier. I take a tape measure with me to the store and measure the actual garment. Kenzie wears some Small and some Mediums. Tilly wears some XS and some S. Mina is pretty consistant with smalls.
