| Hi & Welcome to Yorkie Talk It should be ok, mine do. Just not too cold & not blowing directly on him. He's only around 10 wks old and even tho he's still a baby he should be able to regulate his body temp pretty good. Try and make sure he has a blanket that he can snuggle up to or burrow under if he gets chilly.

| My Zachary will be twelve weeks tomorrow and he sleeps with the air conditioning going. I keep it set at 75 degrees. He does fine and he does have a little fleece baby blanket in the pen with him. |

| Aubreys sleeps in an A/C Room. Its funny when he gets really hot, he will go and lay on top of the air vent. |

| Aubrey has his baby blanket in his crib, along with a blanket on top of his cage so that it gets dark in there for him. He doesn't seem to mind. |

| Mine sometimes lay in front of the AC vent too. I would actually think being in an ACed room/house would be better than being in one without it.. I can only imagine how hot they must get with all that fur.

| I keep my yorkie room at a constant 77 degrees all summer. When I'm whelping a new litter they're in my bedroom and it's kept much warmer....starting at 85 and dropping it a degree everyday.

| Jake sleeps in the AC, and he's fine. We don't keep it cold, but he always sleeps with his blankie, and he cuddles up to me most of the night. |

| Living in Florida, my babies have been in a/c all their lives. I do try and not have them sleep directly under the cool air, but sometimes that is where they lay, so I feel they must be OK with it. Their beds are lamb skin and a blanket that they can snuggle with. Knock on wood, we have never experienced a dog cold!
