Dressing up your Yorkie - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Shelby&Seymour · 03-06-2008, 03:16 PM

It gets chilly when they are so close to the floor...... especially in the winter months! When I get home from work I look for some "comfy stuff" for me and the Yorkies!!!
This evening, Shelby has on a Dark Pink velour dress with "jewels" on the ruffle. Seymour has a custom made shirt that says "Let it snow" on it by Pocomutt! They are always willing to cooperate when getting them on..... Seymour tries to put his head thru even before I am ready to help him!

I dress mine more in the fall, winter and spring. Its just usually too hot in the summer to dress them

Yorkiedaze · 03-06-2008, 03:38 PM

My Zada and Azrael who are three years old now and only wear sweaters and jackets on cold days when we go anywhere. Our new baby girl, Raziel, is five months old and needs her Pj's and shirts all the time because she has a really think coat and gets cold so easily.

How does everyone get their Yorkies to like to wear clothes? Penny wears a sweater when we go out. But she hates it. She hates putting it on. She hates wearing it.

MyFairLacy · 03-06-2008, 05:14 PM

Lacy gets dressed every day, even she doesn't leave the house

Karrie · 03-06-2008, 05:42 PM

Bailey wears a winter coat outside and when we run errands. Otherwise, around the house - natta.

Joey hated it at first too. I guess he hated it because he just stood there instead of running all around. So we started him in t-shirts when it was bedtime. Every day he would wear it a little longer. He seem to enjoy the clothes now, like he knows he looks good! Make sure the clothes fit properly and no Velcro is attached to their hair.

Every time I put something on Lily I give her a small treat and say good girl, now when I go to get a shirt or dress she just sits next to the cookie jar. It is os cute.

Banjo wears a t- shirt or hoodie most all the time! If it is really cold and we go out- I put his coat on over a t or hoodie!! This winter we would have a fire going in fireplace- he would have his hoodie on- soon he would be laying in front of the fire- so I guess he didn't get to hot in the clothes!!!

Now I need tank tops for the upcoming summer!!!

Could there be something about the sweater? Scratchy?

My baby wears clothes around the house – but usually when I know we are expecting guests. I mean – they can’t see her naked now can they?

I don't know if they would get to hot in the house wearing outfits or not. Most of the people around me think I'm crazy anyway because of how I treat my little ones but what the heck. I don't have skin children and these two little ones are my children. I would appreciate some feedback on dressing them. Thanks

I have a turtleneck sweater for Odie, he hates it. He pulls it off and runs with it in his mouth. I have yet to find small enough tee-shirts for him. Everywhere I have gone they have them in pink. NOT cool for a dude pup.

I have asked if they would get something in blue and they said that they are in and out within hours. (sighs) I will hopefully get him used to being dressed though. I think that it is just too cute for words when I see a yorkie all dolled up.
I have a question ... do you bow a boy's hair?

We were just talking about that yesterday. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=120391 .

There's even a link from the Little Gentelman's club on where to purchase bows for boys. Not that they need a special "boy bow." http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sho...highlight=bows .

I don't know if you have Walmart in Canada, but they are now making xtra small and xxtra small. Their new line of clothes is very impressive, some of it' they sell on the internet. Many members of YT make and sell clothes. I ordered from Linda of http://www.fufufashions.com/ she offers special rates for YT members and everything is custom fit order. I was very pleased with the fit, and I really think they like clothes that aren't too big.

Dennis is always dressed in a shirt, and Sahara sometimes wears her only dress but because she knots so very easily I take it off. They both love to get dressed and I just love how adorable they look!
