Is your Yorkie a Winter Dog or a Summer Dog? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I guess Spring or Fall- mine get cold easily and hot easily- they are wimps like me!

We don't get huge changes in seasons here in Southern California. Ivan likes to be outside most of the year but is not a huge fan of rain, so I'd say he's a pretty all season pup. His poor skin doesn't like the hot, dry wind we get here in early fall though- lot's of itchies for my poor boy. Iris hates the rain, likes to take naps in the sun, but doesn't like to walk when it's too hot out. I'd say she's more of a spring and summer pup. Ivan likes summer the best though 'cause Momma is home a lot more during the summer.

All of mine love it all year round in our chilly neck of the woods unless we get an unusually hot day, then they lay on the tile in the kitchen/dining area and don't want to go outside. Not often do we have a hot day thank goodness!

I would say Spring and Fall for Taycie.

It gets toooo hot out in the summer and she would just rather be in the shade. And winter gets tooooooo cold! Spring and the Fall are so nice and great walking weather

Roxie is a Spring and Fall dog. She really likes when the temps are mild and there is a nice breeze.

She HATES snow, ice, and cold...sometimes it's a real challenge just to get her to go out and potty in the winter.

She seems to like summer. When we take her out to walk, she loves to just lay out in the grass and soak up the sun. She does get pretty hot when out walking in the summer. She'll come in after a walk, get some water, and then dramatically flump down on the floor.

Buster & Maggie are definitely summer babies. We only have two seasons, I wish we had a spring and fall. They love to swim and go to the park and they really can't do that in the winter. The winters here are typically cold and wet. I would like to take them to play in the snow just to see how their reaction. It has "snowed" a couple of times but nothing that they could play in and it's always gone within a couple of hours.

Forgot to add, they don't like wearing sweaters or coats and when it's cold I put a sweater on them if they want to go for a walk or outside to play.
