Does your Yorkie where clothing? Why or Why not? - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Bentley wears clothes, he was a little ify about them the first day, but he doesn't mind them now and loves curling up in his warm sweater because it's so cold outside right now.

Happy Shopping!

I dress my dogs up because I think it is cute, because they are cold, because it is a holiday...the list goes on and on. On an everyday basis they are nakee but sometimes they get a little dressed up. They seem to like it, so I continue to do it.

Winston has a full coat and does not wear clothes, by choice. I live in Illinois and it does get pretty cold in the winter, but I have never seen him shiver. Oh, he doesn't wear a bow either...my boy is all natural!!!

I love to dress Peanut up! I love to shop for Peanut too!! Peanut doesnt mind wearing the clothes either, It gets chilly here in the morning and I will always put a jacket on him I think he likes it..I keep him cut pretty short too!! In the summer I dont make him wear anything..

I am not only the extremely proud Mommy of our 2 yr old Onegus, I have 13 grandkids from 4 - 25. (Only one girl) I got lots of negative comments from the boys about dressing Onegus, especially his snowsuits, and told I had too much time on my hands, until I asked them why they wore heavy socks and shoes and coats on cold days and hoodies in the house. Got some stupid looks til I explained that while they could pick their feet up off of the floor and wrap in a blanket if they got cold, HE couldn't and since he was only about 10" total off the floor and under 7# and doesn't know he can jump onto the couch, he had to wear clothes. Also told them that if they were that tiny (none of them ever were) and cute anymore, I would make lots of cuddly things for them too, lol. As for the matts, we brush in the morning and at night before bed and sometimes just for fun while watching TV. I use a spray detangler made for little kids hair and have a dematting comb if they are bad matts. Don't have a problem normally unless he has been extremely active, and he loves getting brushed. He actually begins whineing and wandering in the hallway around 9:30PM looking to get his jammies on and go to bed. Took us awhile to catch on to what he wanted. If we don't go right to bed, he crawls into his little cube bed and snoozes off as soon as he has his jammies on.

Yes, mine get cold very easy. When Copper's hair is longer I dont dress him as much. But if it is cold enough for me to wear even a longsleeve then Maddie will be cold too. She will lay on her clothes after I take them off of her, and even bring me her favorite hoodies

I also think that it is cute and do it for the holidays.

AbbysMom08 · 10-25-2009, 09:19 PM

I dress Abby too.
She wears a dress when she goes visiting. Otherwise she runs naked in the house.
I do put sweaters and coats on her in the winter as it gets pretty cold here.
She seems to be cold blooded and becomes cold quicker than any of my others did, so I may have to put a hoodie on her in the winter when she is at home. She doesn't mind being dressed at all. She knows that when she sees me get one of her dresses out, she is going to be going visiting. (Well at least she knows she is going for a ride in the car).

My babies love their clothes. Especially when it's cold outside. Mine have pjs and bath robes too (as a lot of others here do too)

You mentioned that you haven't purchased any becuase of the comments you've heard others make...if you like something, want it and can afford it, then you should get it. Don't live your life worrying about what other people think. It's your life and your money. Stand up for yourself.

As for where I get my clothes...well, I get them everywhere. My favorite place is right here on YT! If you haven't seen it there's a section on items for sale and YTers stores.

But I gotten them from on line stores, ebay, pet stores, Walmart, Target, the list goes on and on. Heck even the Harley D store has them

let someone say a smart comment to a biker and see what happens

Hope that helps. Here's a photo of my Bijou in her onesie we got yesterday.
Can't wait to see photos of your baby in some clothes

And yes, she has a stroller too. They are great for taking them shopping in clothing type of store with you. Welcome to YT!!!

I agree! If you want to put clothes on your baby, DO IT!
I wanted to put shirts on Rily, but was a little concerned what my friends and family would say. A friend gave me his first shirt and he was so cute in it, I had to have more! His puppy fur matted and I had to cut him down pretty short. He shivered! I took that excuse and ran with it! He now wears clothes all the time...Shirts during the day and oneies at night with the bottom cut out. I now don't care what other people think. My DH likes him in clothes too. I'm working on Saydee....so far she doesn't like clothes, but she'll come around!

jadabug · 10-26-2009, 06:14 AM

If you and your furbaby like clothes I wouldn't care what others think or say. My two like wearing t-shirts and if we go out Jada wears a dress and Bogie wears a shirt. I was one who said I would never put clothes on a dog!!! Boy have I had to eat those words!!! LOL These little guys also get chilled easy so if anyone has something to say about their clothes just ask them would they like to go around naked and freeze!!!

misslissa · 10-26-2009, 10:05 AM

i dress my chi mix all year round because if i dont she shivers even in the summer gatsby(yorkie) only wears sweaters and coats i dressed him up for halloween and i went threw three costumes before i found one he would wear i can sometimes get him to wear a tee shirt if i want to look special or cute but most of the time he will only wear a coat in the winter

cat3 · 11-01-2009, 01:23 PM

Hi,
I live in Florida, so Cloey is naked in the summer, with very short haircut.
However, she wears dresses in the spring and fall. And, she wears hoodie dresses, sweaters and coats in the winter.
If it gets below 75 degrees, she gets cold.
She also wears nice dresses to visit her human Grandma.

My 64lb dog, Tuni, does not wear dresses. She has alot of collars to compensate, lol.

If they cooperate, I put dresses on Misty (yorkie) and Cassie (maltese). Cassie does not go outside to go potty she uses her puppy pads, but Misty does. I have a jacket that I put on her when she goes outside in the fall and winter. I also have a Cocker Spaniel that I bought a coat for her and she enjoys wearing it outside too.
