I also found inflatable collar which Matese mentioned. that would have been whole lot better than this giant puppy umbrella. but I was not able to order that on-time for Sophie. I think I will be much more prepared if I have to do this again for another dog.

Oh, and I have just learned that there are many different types of yorkies; traditional, dark traditional, parti, dark parti, chocolate, chocolate parti, sable, sable parti, merle... I don't know what type of Yorkie Sophie is... She is mostly dark with very little tan. Her dark color looks black but under the sun, I can see brownish color on her dark fur.

thank you all for many useful informations...

Those are just different colors not necessarily different types. There is not Merle though that is not in yorkies most people claiming Merle yorkies are spammers or they are claiming a mix breed as a yorkie. Chocolates have brown noses and light brown/ hazel color. My Ollie is a chocolate yorkie Joey and Penny would be considered traditional even though Penny is black but her head and legs are tan and Joey is tan and grey. In the Yorkie world colors can be controversial because The Yorkshire Terrier Club says it’s taboo and fault. I rarely used a collar on my dogs after they got fixed except at night when I couldn’t watch them. I used a soft collar by a member here but her website isn’t working.
