Yeah.....I have a Yorkie and he doesn't do well in the cold.

Its because they have hair not fur, and it's just the one layer, it doesn't insulate them at all

My Black Lab however was outside today in 8*F weather for almost an hour, unfazed and refusing to come inside, I had to go out there and play with him and corral him into the house lol.....He will just lay down in the snow and hang out there for ridiculous long times....2 layer winter fur is a good insulator

I dunno, I have long hair and it's a fabulous built in ear warmer and scarf in winter. I rarely wear my hair down, except if I'm out in cold weather (especially the snow). My thick hair is my own natural scarf.

I think with this cold snap dogs like Labs and Huskies are the only ones really loving life.
