Do you dress your Larger Yorkies? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Doodlebug · 04-02-2007, 06:41 AM

Those of you with bigger yorkies, do you put little dresses and clothes on them? I usually only put t-shirts, sweaters and coats on mine but was wondering if those with bigger yorkies like to dress them?

ARCHIE · 04-02-2007, 06:45 AM

I have a bigger Yorkie boy, Buddy.
He hates all clothes, however, in winter I put sweater's or coats on him after chasing him through the house to catch him.
I have bought a couple of T'shirts which I put on him to his dislike.
I recently purchased a harness vest and can't wait for that to come
maybe he will like that.
Other than above I won't buy anthing else because he just does not
like to be dressed.

I have a bigger Yorkie (11lbs) and he will sometimes wear a T-shirt or sweatshirt, but otherwise I do not dress him up. My biewer is also a bit larger at 7lbs and I do not dress him up w/ th exception of a sweater if its colder. When I do put anything on my Yorkie he just kinda sits there looking at me somewhat embarassed and he moves very slowly. Its as if he is saying.."Please take this thing off!!"

I dress chachi more in the Winter than in the Summer. He has some hoodies he wears and Pjs. He likes being dressed

Mine are far from petite

and LOVE LOVE LOVE wearing clothes - Chanel is the larger one and she gets so excited when it's time to get dressed

I only put coats on them during the winter. They don't really like wearing clothes.

Lexi Rae--Lexi always looks gorgeous in the pictures you post. She doesn't look like she weighs 10lbs. Max is also about 10 lbs but she looks so much smaller than he is. She hides it well

i dress brownie mainly for going out tho he rather be nekky inside

Bizzymammabee · 04-02-2007, 07:34 AM

I don't really dress either of mine up...they really rather be naked...lol. I do use harness vests on them at times. In the winter they hate jackets so they were bought for nothing. They rather brave the weather.

Yorkiedaze · 04-02-2007, 07:34 AM

My Zada is 8 pounds and Azrael is 7 and they wear dresses on special occasions only. If it's really chilly when we go anywhere or walks or bike riding, I put sweatshirts or hoodies on them. Around the house they don't wear anything unless it's chilly and then I put shirts on them. They also wear night shirts to bed.

I really hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Logan hates his harness vest; along with all clothes. I have found though that he doesn't hate tank tops(things without sleeves) as much as he hates things with sleeves. Hats & pants are out of the question because he refuses to move.

Bizzymammabee · 04-02-2007, 07:39 AM

It's funny because in anticipation when I was getting Lulu I purchased two sweaters and two little ski coats for her. The coats were too big for her (xs) when I got her but they can almost fit now. Anyhow I was cleaning out my closet last night and I took them out and tried them on her...can you please tell me why she put up such a fight and then looked at me like I was stupid when I was done. She kept on trying to wiggle out of them and walked like she had a dead animal on her back. SO I guess when the next winter comes I will be selling them on YT so some baby that likes to dress up will be wearing them.

LuvtheCooper · 04-02-2007, 08:54 AM

Cooper hates all clothes, will wear a harness vest under duress, 'cause he wants to go really bad, he has a hoodie when it is really cold, again under duress, but he forgets about it after awhile. Carley wears a t-shirt pretty much every day, hoodies when we go out and dresses for special occasions like visiting Daddy at work. She is the most laid back little girl and never seems to mind what I put on her, plus I think she likes all the attention she gets!

Passionfruition · 04-02-2007, 09:02 AM

Yep! Sully is about 9lbs and he wears clothes almost all the time during the fall/winter/spring.....but it gets too hot for anything but bandanas here in Charleston in the summer.

Absolutely not it is degrading for the dog to be dressed in human type clothes. Respect your Yorkshire Terrier.
