Fair enough. I’ll agree to disagree though. I’m familiar with the coat with a silky texture and tends to be thinner in quantity and is much like human hair, as opposed to a soft coated yorkie. But I find it odd for a dog to be shaking often inside a house. I think it would maybe warrant a conversation with a vet because perhaps it could be related to pain or maybe a range of other issues. Who knows. Myself though I wouldn’t just assume it must be because the dog is cold. In some cases, maybe. In other cases, maybe not. The fact that it was brought up as a behavior where the owner hasn’t been able to tie it or link it to being cold, but instead made a comment about it being “normal for the breed”, I think I would for sure have a conversation with a vet about it. Maybe a little bit of problem solving will come to the cold conclusion. Or maybe do an experiment by turning up the heat in the house. I personally keep mine at 22 degrees Celsius. I have no idea what that is in Fahrenheit.
