My Cooper wears a jersey to my daughter's soccer games and a coat when it is cold out. At home he doesn't wear clothes because our house as warm enough. I may get a sweater if he seems chilly during the winter.

If he HATED wearing clothes I wouldn't put them on him at all. I don't want him to be miserable. I think if he got cold he would tolerate the clothing anyway because he would realize it keeps him warm. Yorkies are very smart you know. he he

At home Laci is nekkid, but its very cold here in the winter... She has to wear a coat or a sweater or she shakes..she doesnt like to be cold at all... I do like to buy pretty dresses and shirts but I dont make her wear them all the time. She also loves clothes.. she sits pretty when I am dressing her

Have fun shopping for your baby. There are tons of adorable things to choose from. I see nothing wrong with dressing our furbabies if they do not object. There are some dogs that hate to wear clothes and many that enjoy it. Some could care less either way. Do whats right for your and your dog and don't worry about what others might say.

I live in Texas where it is very hot. For that reason I only dress my little ones in the winter. We do t-shirts, sweaters and coats. I also like to do holidays just for fun. One of my babies gets mats in her coat when she wears clothes so I have to do extra brushing as I like to keep her coat long.

I can't wait!

Not cruel for sure. There can be a safety issue as someone here mentioned. And of course you need to be alert when your baby is dressed up to insure nothing untoward happens.

But I live where it is cold and in winter if I want to walk my boy he needs to be kept warm!. I think you can get a silk undergarment (i'm searching for one now) and then put on the winter snow suit. I've looked at a couple of places and my breeder says please be carefull what you buy cause you don't want to ruin his coat.

I agree with most posters - everyone has an opinion - their entitled and so are you ... to YOURS

I used to dress mine all the time but now its just special occasions and when its very cold in the winter

bj1 · 10-25-2009, 12:02 PM

I also dress mine in the winter months and for taking pictures

Go for it!!! I dress my dog because I think it is fun. In the summer it is too hot, so I put on a cute harness and matching leash. But in cold weather my pup wears hoodies, sweaters, and fleece. I like her all cuddly. Dresses are for special occasions. After a bath she has a terrycloth bathrobe!

Not only do clothes keep them warm, they also help to keep them clean--something to think about especially if they are on your bed or furniture.

LilMissy · 10-25-2009, 12:23 PM

My Missy always wears clothes except for in the hot summer months. If I don't dress her, I will find her shivering, huddled over the heat vent in the floor. She really enjoys clothes, and will actually come to me to get dressed (won't come to me any other time lol).

My fav place to buy clothes is from Des @ http://www.mygofetch.com/

Oliver didn't get dressed because sweaters ect, would tangle his fur SO bad! But he got himself a very sporty hair do this summer and now it's starting to grow out. He wears a sweather when it's cold out - I also keep our house chilly so he likes to lay in front of the fireplace... I'll likely keep his hair shorter this winter, although I miss his beautiful long hair!

My other yorkies wore sweaters when it was cold. And he always wears a life vest in our boat .

JeanieK · 10-25-2009, 12:38 PM

I do not dress mine. I did in the past, but I keep them in full coat and it matts their hair.
