But I've never heard of a regular harness causing issues with the patellas? Either way, one needs to train their dog not to pull, and using a collar or harness shouldn't be an issue. I prefer a harness because I feel he's more secure, and I also like the safety aspect of being able to pick him up by his harness if needed (and he's a big boy, at 16lbs) and I still can easily hover him up if needed.
I wouldn't necessarily judge a breeder on the fact that they use collars, a lot of breeders use slip leads, which goes around the neck. |
THANK YOU!
thats all I was saying...what I was told DOES make sense so I don't understand why some people are getting their undies in a bunch over it! My breeder is awesome and I would recommend her to anyone who was looking for a Yorkie!
