I can fit like 3 of the 10-12 pound range in the large snoozer car seat lol

I have seen them in our local Lowe’s but I think the Lowe’s is based on what that store goes by.

That's how I feel about my Piper at 9 1/2lbs--little enough to hold and carry, but big enough to get on/off furniture, in/out of car, etc. She is absolutely thee perfect size for me!

As much as I adore lil 5 pounds or under, I prefer larger yorkies, the smallest I ever had was 9 pounds, others ranged 13 to 17 pounds. Larger yorkies fit my life style. I don't fly so no worries there. My 12 pound boy is tiny after having my 17 pound Matese for 17 years lol.

Lots of,good ideas.
I used to take cali in her stroller around the block, to stores, to dog shows, just anywhere she could meet and greet. Her stroller was a securitynplace so it really helped. We would also go to the dog park, but just sit and watch until one days she let me know she wanted to get in on that action.

I wondering if sometimes I should use his sister Penny to go with us because he follows her everywhere and does what she does. Penny is also pretty chill yet happy to meet people and go places. Joey gets a little over excited lol.

I think you absolutely should try that because if he follows her lead and gets positive responses that will build his confidence! Then, of course, as time goes on he'll be more sure of himself when he's out and about on his own.
