| Dog house Hi, We were thinking of building a deck and having a doghouse there for our yorkie to rest during his rest hours in the daytime & will be easier to let him out in the garden. We want to have him sleep indoors in his crate during the night. Is this a workable idea? |

| Hi and welcome to YorkieTalk. It sounds cute but personally I would not have my dogs outside without me due to hawks and owls and coyotes, etc. Unless it is all screened in and protected?

| Yorkies are not meant to be outside dogs and its just not a safe idea. Not only are they small and prey for a lot of animals they also can be taken by people. That might work for other breeds that are bigger and made to be outside more but not for a yorkie.

| Hello there. Sorry for reviving such an old thread. Need your advice on a dog house. My friend told me that a spool house is a good one to get. What do you think about it? |

| What do you want a dog house for? Yorkies are not dogs that should be left outside.

| Why does your friend think a spool dog house is better than any other dog house, and would this "spool house" be used for a yorkie. Below is a Spool house

| Unfortunately that house wouldn’t keep a yorkie warm in my opinion. It’s cute and it might be something I used inside but not for a yorkie outside.

| Hey there! I'm new to this forum, but I saw your post and thought I'd throw in my two cents. No need to apologize for reviving an old thread - the advice here is timeless! As for the DIY Cable spool dog house, I think it's a pretty cool idea. It's definitely unique and would make for a great conversation starter. I'd say go for it if you're looking for something different. Just make sure it's the right size for your furry friend! Good luck and happy hunting!td {border: 1px solid #cccccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;} |

| powerency...IF you have a yorkie, would you leave it out unattended in hot summer months or cold winter day hoping it will use a dog house that is not heated or ventilated?

| I agree, but could be fun to relax on a porch and have the dog relax in the cute house right next to you!! |

| I think the idea is cool. Your corgi will have a place to sleep. |
