I don't dress mine at all unless it's really cold, then they have sweaters and jackets.

No, I don't dress mine when it is hot. Daisy has really thick, black hair and as soon as the sun hits her you can feel her warming up. Her hair gets real warm and she starts panting. I was wondering if I put a light shirt on her if it would make her hotter or keep her a little cooler. Does anyone know?

I put a light-colored tank top on Conner when it's hot. When walking, I don't want him to get sunburned and we use ac in the house when it is really hot.

The body heat has to excape, so putting a shirt on her would only make her worse. There are spray products on the market that has sunscreen and keeps the coat from fadeing and in turn keeps the coat cooler.

Last summer I shaved Rocky, but still when it was really hot I didn't dress him as much. I don't want to shave him again this year, but I do think I'm going to cut his hair a lot shorter. He's been in clothes everyday since it started to get cold, and right now he's running around nakey and it seems wierd...LOL

Layla is naked in the summer and LOVES it! today was the first real nice day and she got to go around in the buff

if we are going somewhere speical she will wear a dress.. but otherwise i like the wind to blow through her coat to hopefully keep it cool

Yorkiedaze.. where do you get that spray product?? i'm not worried about her coat fading but i'd love something that is a sunscreen and helps deflect the heat...
