I bought the Puppia soft step-in harness for both my Yorkie and Biewer. I bought them in xs and have been using them for three years. I love the fact that the dogs are so secure in them. Saying that, my puppies don't get walked constantly, since we have a fenced in yard. This past winter we spent some weeks in Florida where they had to be walked several times a day. While my Biewer's coat was easier to maintain, my Yorkie, who has a long coat, got horribly matted. I spent over an hour each day trying to maintain her coat. Poor baby just sat quietly as I pulled knotted hair apart. I bought a Buddy Belt, size 2 but it was way too big (Bandit got a new harness!). I just recently emailed Chattiesmom on this site and she made me a beautiful harness that fits Smokey perfectly and doesn't let her hair mat. I would consider the puppia (I still love the harness) if your puppy doesn't have a long coat, or contact Chattiesmom and have her make a harness for you. If you invest in a BB, I would wait until your puppy is full grown since they are a bit pricey. |
