Here it is:
Google Maps

You have to go upstairs. It's right on the southwest corner of Queen/John. It's not a big place. And not the most organized one either. So go there with plenty of time to look at everything and try on a few items. If nothing else, it's fun to see all these different outfits on your baby. And they're very helpful and patient with indecisive customers that don't know know which one to chose, and just wanna buy everything (me!

)

And the BB booth was insane! At that price, people were climbing on top of each other to get through.

Do you live in Toronto? Cuz I know of a place that has very good prices on BB. And everything else forthat matter. It's like a doggy walmart. You just have to go there with some time, and go through isles and isles of outfits and harnesses to find what you're looking for.

Sorry about the mini highjack here. Back to BB's, yeah i love them. they might be a bit pricey, but they last forever. My dogs even went for a dip in the pond the other day WITH the BB's on, and they're still like new. No discoloration, nothing.

Aww strollers full of Yorkies would've been nice to see! Hardly anyone uses doggie strollers around my area...people would just tell you that your dog has legs and can walk

I'm in Kitchener (about an hour from Toronto). I drive up there every once in a while, so I'll definitely have to check out that store you're talking about (I just read your post about where it was). But I gotta ask, is there any parking around there? Driving in downtown Toronto stresses the heck out of me, and I hate that parking is very limited and very pricey

I know, parking situation sucks in Toronto, esp. downtown. It's probably going to be very difficult to find a parking spot nearby. I live downtown Toronto and don't have a car, so I always take the subway and streetcar to get around, including that store.

If I were you I would just park at Yorkdale and take the subway down. OR let me know when you're in town and we can go together and I'll show you!

That would be fun! None of my friends are Yorkie/dog obsessed like I am, and would be in heaven at a doggie Wal-Mart lol. So I usually do all the fun doggy shopping by myself

I'm not sure when I'll be heading up there next, but I'll put you on my friend's list and we'll keep in touch

Sounds good!

I use the BBs and I am completely in LOVE with them!! I just think they look so neat - the buttery leather strap just looks so striking (or sumpthin') on their backs, and the silver buckle and other hardware is just cool looking.

For Wylie, who is blonde/silver, I have black. For Marcel, who is black/gold, I have the caramel. We get asked about them all the time.

I had a hard time justifying the price, but then I realized I would never have to replace them - they are such nice leather, they'll last forever!

red98vett · 09-02-2009, 08:48 AM

Haha - at first when I clicked the link for them I thought I was looking at sunglasses.

hmmm...I may have to look more into these - I use Puppia and really like them but need a backup

Yorkiedaze · 09-02-2009, 01:00 PM

My girls have them in pink with crystals and matching leashes. This is where I got theirs. Dog Harness, Leather Dog Harnesses - FunnyFur.com They certainly get compliments and questions everywhere we go. They truly are stunning, and should last a lifetime. We've had ours for over a year and half and they show no wear at all.

Also, limited edition colors are pricier.

Yeah I agree.. I only paid $30 for mine, but it doesnt mat the hair, its buttery sofy and the inside is like padded. Maxi will wear it all day and not even remember its on him. Its great and honestly worth the price because you wont have to buy another one - unless you want another color

. The leather is durable!

Hi, did you buy the Buddy Belt somewhere locally or did you order it online? $30 is a great price and we would love to get one for Milo.

great thread!

Gunnar loves to go out, but hates putting on and getting out of the harness. thanks to whoever posted the mfg website. There is a store in the mall close to where I work that is suppose to have them. I can physically check them out and them order them online! thanks to everyone who posted the online stores too!

We have been using our Buddy Belt harness and leash for a week and we love them! The harness is surprisingly soft and lightweight. I'm convinced that Max was unsure that he was wearing anything that would keep him tethered to me. He stayed by my side and didn't pull like he usually does.

No more worries about Max' throat.

The Buddy Belt looks great too. Functional and fashionable.
