| Help finding harness that will fit.... Does anyone know where I can find a harness that will fit a yorkie that is only 2 lbs 2 oz? I tried the extra small ones from PetSmart but it's so big! A friend had given me a velcro one that she use to use but the velcro no longer holds and I don't sew so I can't fix it. If I find something online how do I know what size will actually fit and be comfortable for her? Thanks for your help! HopesMom |

| I would PM Maximo or try to find her Buddy Belt thread. Buddy Belts are great, and aren't velcro, but actually adjust with a belt buckle. They're on the higher end price wise, but well worth the money.

| We also tried many, many harnesses til we found what fits. We went with the kitten harnesses. Gus and Gidgit are now 5 and 3 years old and are still using them. We got them from PetValu (in Canada) and they are adjustable. Good Luck. |

| I will always recommend buddy belt petsmart doesn't carry them. A friend of mine bought a martha stewart one that looks pretty okay, I'm just all about nothing near the trachea |

Senior Yorkie Talker | Has anyone experienced this: I put the harness on Princess Prissy and she become a baseboard Yorkie and runs along it in short distance she is like she ashamed of it, also does it with her T-shirts on now her brother Sir Bentley he is proud of his and will even walk with her lead line not her. Any suggestions, I so much want to dress Princess Prissy, but I don't want the cost of purchasing the clothing and then she doesn't want to be seen. |
