Question 1

What size would be best for a 7-7.5 Yorkie male?! I don’t want it to be too tight not too loose around his growing.

This was my experience… if you click on each color size sweater, in the top photo product images, one of the slides displays a size chart you measure your dog’s neck circumference, largest location around rib cage chest circumference, and finally length you should measure from base of the dog’s neck at body to base of dog’s tail.

Here is the catch: if you scroll thru each COLOR sweater, the pic size chart values for measurements listed to determine fit of neck, chest, length … CHANGE! 
Then also, if you choose a color and a size item, make sure to scroll down and read carefully through the description info for that color and size you picked from upper drop down boxes… because AGAIN, IN THE ITEM TYPED DESCRIPTIONS, THE WRITTEN OUT SIZE MEASUREMENTS INFO CHANGES.. you will find anywhere between 2-3, easily, different definitions of what this product states as the neck, chest, length you should measure your dog and compare to….

That said, my dog is a (depending on how spoiled lately haha) 12.8-13.1 lb definite chihuahua/dachshund mix… obviously as a rescue, who knows what millions of breed genetics in thr background.

I bought the purple sweater for her in size “S”… again the multiple sizing charts from product images, then size chart, then images in description, snd also typed out definitions of this product.. the fact there were also some colors and measurement charts for a size “S/M” had me ridiculously baffled. According to most many size chart info, my dog should have landed at “S/M” instead. However reading the tons of reviews and questions, I saw what type breed dogs S/M size was fitting on… and despite the charts said S/M and sizing up suggestions, knowing Amazon is amazing with return and exchanges, I’d easily be able to return for another size if it didn’t fit. 
Again color purple sweater has different size chart info that other colors…. And according to color “purple sweater” chart, size “S” should be too small for her. 
My dog is 12” neck, 15” body length, 17” largest rib cage chest. She is narrow build from her chihuahua genetics, and slightly long given her wiener dog dachshund genetics lol
“Purple” sweater Size “S” fits her perfect. According to the sizing info all over this product page provided, “S” should be too small, and depending on which color ane chart changes, she should be in “S/M” or “M” There is NO way a sweater size larger than the supposedly too small size S chart info compared to my dog would fit her.

Read everything you can, don’t go by weights, read all questions and replies and reviews ppl leave on products, so you get a sense of how a product fits. And my final piece of advice with a dog that is as small as you mention, I have found that finding products that specifically state for small dog and toy dogs etc vs just “dog coats”, fit and come in sizes more likely have the best cut and success for smaller breeds.

I’d take a photo, but my dog is currently curled up asleep in this sweater. If it will let me. I’ll follow up and add a review with photos to share about the fit… and she does love this sweater

Question 2

Will my Yorkie still be able to go potty with the sweater on?

Accepted Answer

If you get the right size the sweater rides high enough  for that.

Question 3

Why don't they make sweaters and coats for shorter dogs. To fit around chest is way too long underheath for male dogs

Accepted Answer

The one I got for my dachsador Fits good around the chest but her legs are so short it hangs so she can’t wear it I agree they need to make them where they fit dogs or short legs

Question 4

I'm thinking maybe a large for a slender 46 lb. standard poodle??

Accepted Answer

If you go to the page where these sweaters are advertised and scroll down you’ll come to a size chart. It doesn’t go by weight, but rather by neck girth, chest girth, and body length. The girth measurements should account for the weight. I’ve purchased four of these sweaters for my dog and they’re well made and don’t make him itch like other sweaters I’ve purchased.
