General Info Please Hey ladies...I'm new to this board and new to Yorkies. Read all I can, talked with friends who have them, gotten all info I can but need more. Can you guys tell me about cold weather. I live in Tennessee and Fall has just arrived. It's chilly in the am and warm during the day, then back to chilly at pm. Someone told me that the Yorkies don't have an undercoat and they are more like us so they need a coat to go outside. Do you ladies keep your babies in the house on really cold days to potty or not? If I need a coat, what kind is best? Sorry to sound so needy but I want to do the right thing and not risk my girl getting sick. Any info, comments or ideas would BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!!!:) |
I think you have a great question! I myself wonder how yorkies do in inclement weather, we live in KY. I'll keep an eye on your thread for help as well!! :) |
Nice to meet ya and we are neighbors! I have friend that lives in Elizabethtown. So far I love this place. I've not had time to sit down and read all I want to. I know there is lots of info on here, just gotta read all I can! :rolleyes: |
It's true Yorkies don't have an undercoat and can get cold faster then other breeds. However, I think a lot depends on the individual. My Annie would swoon and act as though you were trying to kill :eek: her by asking her to go out in the winter to potty. Yet she refused to sleep under any cover at night no matter how cold it got. She simply would snuggle up closer to my neck. Boo is all about the outdoors. Loves to be there no matter how cold or hot it is. :cool: Just no rain please, sugar melts you know. :rolleyes: Yet he will only sleep far under the covers pressed tightly to your legs. Gracie Ruth seems to be a mix of the two. She LOVES the outdoors, cold, hot or rain, she loves it all. She started out sleeping uncovered by my neck, but recently has been moving to under the covers with her head poking out. :p I'm waiting for her to ask for her own little pillow to put her head on. lol I'd just watch and see how your girl acts. I'd probably have some type of coat/sweater ready just in case you need it. You'll know when you open the door if she thinks it's too cold. And just like we have to watch out for them in the summer to not get overheated, watch to see that she doesn't stay out to the point of shivering. |
Oh my Teresa...lolol...I'm having a hard time handling one little princess....how do you handle 3..lolol...you are a good woman!! Thanks...to all....love info and guess I will pay more closer attention to her. She does kinda tip toe through the grass when it's wet..lolol...she'll go potty but as soon as she's done, she's ready to hit the house!! |
Mine wear little coats or sweaters when it's cold outside. |
