Until yesterday I wouldn't bother the poor dog with sweaters and other type of clothing but we brought it to the "hair cutter" and she left less than 1 centimeter of "hair" which makes me believe he'll suffer from the winter cold you can feel as soon as you put a foot outdoors. We have temperatures around -5 and 5 degrees at this time which I consider cold for everyone, especially a small dog like my yorkshire.
A little sweetie like a Yorkshire Terrier would definitely need a little help in the temperatures that you described. I would say that your little baby needed a sweater/coat even before the haircut.
It isn't a bother to dog when you help to keep it warm. Who really want's their pet to be cold, shiver..yadda...yadda?
It was a good idea to clothe your Yorkie. Be sure to watch his ears, nose, feet and toes. They are susceptible to frostbite. In the zero to sub zero temps that you are experiencing, do not leave your pet outside for more that a few minutes at a time. I am sure your little Yorkie thanks you for helping him stay nice and toasty
