| Snow? Might be a bit of a silly question BUT its snowing here in London and I really want to walk Poppy in it. Shes only 4lb, would it be ok for her to go out in the snow with a coat on, or do you think it would be to cold for her? She loves her walks but I don't want her to get ill from it being to cold? What do you lot think? Plus I wanna see her running around enjoying it haha, just worried. xxxx

Donating YT 500 Club Member | Let her have fun Hi there, first snow in Belfast here today, couldn't wait to get Hume to let Alfie out to see it, he is six months 5.4lbs. I put a fleece on him and we played ball in the yard in almost darkness. He loved it and kept bringing the ball in the house with a bill lop of snow round it, put a towel in the dryer for him to get nice and dry and warm. |

YT 500 Club Member | When it was snowing here I took Honey out and she didnt like it. We walked and played for a little but then went in because she started shaking. I will just say to make sure you pay attention to her reaction. |

| Jilly was 3 lbs. and we walked in snow with her in her coat. Didn't keep her out long and kept her to the dry part of the sidewalk, off the snow/ice where we could and used the hair dryer to warm her feet, dry any wet parts when we got back in. Then we cuddled up together to finish toasting her! haha. But, if your dog is still a puppy, I would ask the vet or a breeder or dogcare expert here before trying it. Your baby is so cute!

| I remember reading one post by a member saying that she got a teacup Yorkie or a very young Yorkie puppy, can't recall which, because so many on YT had encouraged her to and then it had died, I think, was what had gone wrong! Anyway, the poster seemed to be kind of placing at least part of the responsibility for what she did and what happened because of it on some posters on YT for going against current conventional wisdom and rooting her on in her excitement over the cute dog. A lot of people told her that, as we all know, just because we read advice or opinions here, we still have to use good judgment and do a great deal more research than just online or any other single source. But after reading that, I and probably a lot of others, got a lot more circumspect in our post's wording, more careful in what we encourage.

| My Ruby is 3.5/4 lbs and Rosie is 6.5. Both love the snow but Ruby looks a lot like poppy and I don't let her be out too long...90% of the time she has a sweater or coat on. Rosie on the other and...it doesn't matter if she has a sweater on or not she is busy burrowing tunnels making doggy dives and whatever she can do in the snow!
