| HI! I have a little girl yorkie (Miley).. We purchased a carrier from good ole walmart. She has been snuck into several places in there since the carrier looks like a coach purse. She actually will crawl on top of it and nap during the day if we leave it out. So really I think any carrier will do aslong as it has good ventilation and is sturdy. Ps I order my WELLNESS puppy mix and she loves it. My min pin. and shih tzu do too. Ive ordered it from petco & petfooddirect. Both are relatively the same. One thing I love about wellness is you can buy a LARGE bag if needed bc it has a ziplock top built in.! PSS I got my puppy at 7 weeks, to early, but when you do get your little girl just make sure she eats. I think sometimes they grieve when they first leave there momma's so you might want to get a couple cans of soft Wellness Puppy for those first few days. Best Wishes!!

| Congrats and welcome to YT. I can't be any help for carriers because my two boys are WAY too big for them (8 and 14 lbs). I never tried Smokey with them since we got him at 6 months and he was already huge, but we tried them with Chip when he was a baby and he HATED them.

| Gee, I never even gave it any thought as to whether or not she would refuse to go into/hate a carrier. So, at that rate, a good old cheap hard plastic one would do the job. Good Lord! Your two boys are huge! Even if you could find a carrier big enough, they'd break your back carrying them. lol And, yes, the excitement is building as the time passes.... |

| Congratulations on your new baby. If you start at a young age putting Molly in a bag she will become used to it. It is like anything else and even a few minutes a day will help her become familiar and excited to go in her carrier. My little guy puts himself in his bag if we haven't gone anywhere because he wants to take a ride! If you have any questions once you get your new carrier please feel free to email. All of my Yorkies are comfortable in their carriers.... I even had one that hadn't traveled until 6 years old.

| You want to really get to know the breeder. Ask questions like how many times they breed a year and where they keep the puppies. It is very important with small breeds that they are not over bred - just because someone is a private breeder does not mean they take good care of their. If you are looking for a small Yorkie please be sure that no one promises you a tea cup. That can't be guaranteed. If you do want a small dog - their grandparents weights are more important sometimes then their actual parents. Good breeders use a little larger female and a smaller male. The older the puppy the more time it will give you to know if it is healthy and the size. You can really get to know someone and how they care for their dogs by speaking with them and also visiting where the puppies are kept. There are many breeders out there and many that will even ship their dogs... I don't believe in this as Yorkie can get low blood sugar when they are so tiny and should not be left alone. If you need more informartion please feel free to email me. It can be a difficult process but there is nothing like having a Yorkie:-)
