Does my yorkie need a sweater? first winter coming :) - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

The only one of mine that will wear a sweater is my girl that is not even 3 pounds and she does get cold. She sleeps with my daughter and she has a bed made with a heating pad under it. She is really cold all the time. The others hate to wear sweater even when cold outside. I do have lots of blankets they sleep with so if they get cold they can dig around and cover theirself up.

I would agree with all the yes votes..

.lol
My Maltese got cold in the winter when we lived in Las Vegas, but now that we are in Oklahoma brrrrrr... She might just need thicker sweaters to do the job... Now as for GiGi, my terror, I found the most adorable little pink sweater with a darling black bow on the back...sigh... BUT that stink pot thinks it's a new toy for her to chew on....lol My dh said "hmmmmmm.. guess she doesn't want to wear clothes ~evil grin~" I said, well of course she does, she just doesn't know it yet

....LOL
Although, I will have to make some adjustments to the neck of the pink sweater as GiGi can chew on the collar and last thing I want is her hurting herself or getting stuck

Yes, your Yorkie will need a sweater and a coat.
When it's really cold, snowy etc I put the sweater on under
Bud's coat for added warmth.
I bet once you start shopping your baby will have a different
sweater or each day

yup they need sweaters and coats, sometimes both, i have lots of other clothes for fun, but raincoats, sweaters and a good winter coat is required. you'll notice if you don't bundle them up well enough they will be full of shivers when they come back inside, i have a snuggle sack that i take outside with me to quickly wrap her in when she's done out there and it helps keep her warm

It's 45 degrees where I live now and Yogi is putting on a sweater as soon as I get home. It's getting to the point where he hesitates before he goes outside. Can't say that I blame him!

Peanut needs a sweater or jacket in the Morning when we leave to go to work and I live in So Calif!!

We are starting to wear a sweater or coat outside. Some days are just cold! Lola would be so cold outside but she would still wanna play shivering like crazy lol My mother's yorkie doesn't need a sweater or coat, she has longer hair and it keeps her warmer.

I have a shaker too! She needs a sweater.

Molly gets cold easily also. Since she's full-grown now, I bought her a gorgeous white sweater decorated with sequins, a pink Hello Kitty Hoodie, an adorable pink quilted satin parka with hood and a herringbone coat with a black plush collar that is lined with microfleece. She even has a raincoat. So, she's quite the fashionista this year. hehe

Welcome to YT

Just agreeing with everyone else really!

Twinkle and Wicket are quite big for yorkies (13lb and 8lb), but when it's cold they wear a coat or sweater on walks. They also have blankets in their beds (they are both 'burrowers'

).

With all of this sweater and cold weather talk, I was inspired to do some online shopping! Just thought I'd let everyone know that Tia Bellas Designer dog collars, fancy dog collars, dog strollers, dog chew toys, stylish dog clothes has all of their clothing on sale right now. Really nice quality stuff. My baby will be warm this winter!
