I've been trying to find the "perfect" fashionable dog carrier for my new Yorkie. I won't be picking up Little Dude for another couple of weeks but I want to be ready! I would LOVE a Kwigy Bo "Alex", but I think I might want to start with a more affordable carrier. I've been looking at a few designs from Zack and Zoey, but I'm hoping someone can answer some of my questions.

* First of all, my puppy is going to be small, of course. Is it too soon to buy a carrier like this for him? I want him to get used to the carrier, but I'm not sure how big he's going to eventually be? Dam and Sire were around 4-6 lbs. (This is another reason I don't want to get the Kwigy Bo at this time).

* I really like this one,
but the smallest size they have available will fit a dog up to 15 lbs. I think this would be way too big, but I love the exterior pocket features.

* This one is also really nice, and I think would be a better fit, at least during the puppy stages. The "Teacup" size supposedly fits dogs up to 4lbs. But it doesn't appear to have any pockets- does anyone have this model and can advise me?

* Should I just wait til puppy is bigger (like my husband suggests ), or should I get a way-too-big carrier, or does anyone have any suggestions on carriers that fit well AND have exterior pockets? And if I wait (because patience is a virtue) what's the best/safest way to get Little Dude to the vet for his 1st health check? Thanks everyone!!
