[Olivier]

Why would you keep a Yorkie outside ? I would never consider letting one of my puppies with someone who will let it outside . Even in a big pen .

thank you for telling me that. well this yorkies is only used to being outside what would i do????????? he loves being outside

[rrosenberry]

I WOULD NOT!! They do not like the heat and get cold very easily,, I do not like dogs; any dogs, Penned or tied outside,, Not much of a life,, Dogs need interaction and companionship..
I get very upset about this ( but it is my opinion) But I fight alot with my dad, about this,, he has a german shephard that is tied outside 24/7... WHY??!! what kind of life is that? Would you want that?
But ,Yorkies are way too little of a breed to be outside,, and they NEED people!

Would you stay outside all the time ? It is ridiculous to hear , he is used to stay outside . No dogs ( big or small ) should stay outside .

Take him outside to run and play (fenced in of course) or on a leash,, and bring him in otherwise.
Yorkie books and dog ownership books are helpful, and plentiful.

Its truly sad that someone kept a yorkie outside all the time. Your lucky hes not sickly. Don't continue to keep him out. Yorkies can't take the weather and need companionship.

We wouldn't let any rescues go to be outside dogs especially not toy breeds.

thank yall but when i let him outside we dont have a fence becouse we have a lot of land what would i do

I know everyone's responded but I wanted to add too. These guys are so delicate. It's beenn cold here lately and I left the window open the other day. I came into the living room to find little Chewy shivering! I was so upset with myself. Please stay inside.

Walk him on a leash until he learns to come back to you. Maybe walk him on a leash all the time! He'll get plenty of exercise running in the house and on your leash walks! Congratulations!

It is not only is the weather a problem but other animals getting in the yard.
My dog Comic love laying in the snow and sometimes I would have to bribe him to come back inside but I would never consider leaving him out doors.
What happens if a storm happens at night while the owner is sleeping?
I don't know of any dogs that like thunder and lightining while in the safety of a home never mind being out side.

I would like to add that my dog would be stolen if left unattended outside.
I would also like to add that if the dog is a barker it could cause problems.
When I was a teen my girlfriend's Yorkies were poisoned after neighbours complained about them being left in the yard to bark for hours.
I would not risk leaving a small dog in a yard for hours never mind for the rest of it's life.
