| harness what is your favorite? not looking for a fashion statement, just something that's easy to use and comfortable for pup. I would like to be able to keep it on shelby all the time since I am afraid of collars. I keep buying different ones but not thrilled with any of them. does anyone have this one?http://www.drsfostersmith.com/produc...m?pCatId=13149 |

| How big is shelby? My favorite is this tiny breed mesh harness and I have tried them all! It is a little bit pricier than the nylon ones ($28.99) but it is really comfortable, practical and easy to use. Another really popular one that is easy to use is the all in one step-in harness. It adjusts to your dogs weight, is leather and made wonderfully. Those are the 2 that I recommend. I have used and purcahsed several and when I have spent less they havent lastet as long as the ones that were really nice. |

| Oops the all in one might not be the best if you want to keep it on all the time because it does have a leash, which is how it adjust to their body The tiny breed mesh is great though bc its really light and comfortable for the dog. I dont mind leaving it on mine, but the nylons I dont bc I feel like they itch a lot with them. |

Yorkie Lover Donating Member | We use the ones from Petsmart, the work great and come in several colors...we bought the xsmall for both of our girls and they are comfortable in them!! The only thing with the Lil Pals ones is once you puppy gets bigger they will quickly grow out of those, they are really tiny!! But I know there are lots of different kinds you just have try them and find out which one works best for you little one!!

| Well it hasnt for me, but then again every yorkie has a different coat. Haley's hair is long and she does just fine in the vest, in fact I can leave it on them all day and they dont rub against the carpet trying to get it off like they do with their other harnesses I guess it just depends on the dog, but it really shouldnt. |
