My yorkie is between 8-10 pounds and wears a harness. Is he big enough for a collar? The last time I took him to the vet was a few months ago and he was 8 pounds so im thinking now he is between there and 10 pounds. Since he is not that small (compared to some other yorkies) is he big enough to wear a collar? |
I would stick with a harness. My Shih tzu is a big boy and I won't let him wear a collar unless it is for show. They still can have issues with collapsed trachea. |
My boys are 10 and 12lbs and I prefer harnesses. |
I have always used a harness on all of my dogs, even my Australian shepherd. I hate to see a dog pull on a lead and have a collar choking them. |
I have Reesie in a harness and he is about 9 lbs. I just feel safer that way.:) |
Stick with the harness :) |
ok thanks guys |
No. Yorkies bigger than that have had trachea problems. It's the pulling on the leash that can harm their trachea when wearing a collar. |
I agree with everyone. Stick with the harness. I have a 10lber and he always wears a harness as well. :) |
I also use a harness when walking. Rily is 9 pounds and wears a collar with ID when we are out, but he still wears a harness too. |
I use both. I always have their collars on but for walks it is the harness. |

In fact, Bella's "collar" is an 8" 14K gold bracelet so it hangs loose. Tell ME the girl ain't spoiled! |
All my three wear a collar with their name and telephone number tag and Identichip tag on. We use a harness though when taking them for walks. I always think a harness could rub if left on all the time, but it's a matter of choice. Some don't agree with having their name on tags, but I feel if they were lost and someone found them at least they'd know their name and my dogs wouldn't feel so strange. Hugs Shirl x x |
Molly is 14lbs and wears a puppia harness when we go out. just bought her a black polka dot one...very smart. :thumbup: |
Jackson wears a collar 24/7 but for walks, it's always a harness. Even though he's 12lbs, his little neck is so sensitive and the few times he has worn a collar/leash and gives a slight tug, he's made choking noises so I try to prevent it. :) |
