| Kwigy Bow Carriers Hi, I'm thinking about ordering a KB carrier from Ryan. Just wondering if any one has a yorkie that is 7-8 lbs and used one of theses and if you might have any pics of them in it. It looks like these are the carriers to buy. I have seen lots of helpful pics on here but they were little doggies. |

| We have a KB Alex. Bailee is 6 pounds and LOVES his purse. He is on the low side of 6 pounds and fits well in the bag. Check the specs for the bags. I mention we are going out in the purse and he gets in, crouches down and I zip the purse. Ryan was great to deal with. It seemed like I had the bag before I paid for it. I'll try to get a picture.

| Rosie is 5 1/2 lbs and fits in the small just fine. I would think yours would fit in a large for sure. maci_mace, you are right. They are very stylish. I take Rosie to the mall all the time in mine. I use the side pockets as a purse. No one has figured us out yet!! They just assume it is my purse!

| They are great. We were shopping one day and a lady stopped me, saying she was admiring my purse when she noticed two little eyes looking out at her. She thought she was seeing things, and suddenly she saw two little ears. I thought it was pretty funny. I like the challenge of sneaking him in stores to see if I will get caught. So far, so good.

| I have had Riley in the Starbucks... CVS.... the corner store.... No one suspects a thing!! and he doesn't make a peep. If I am walking him and he knows it is on my arm, he usually wants me to put it down and he jumps right in.... and I carry him. LOL!!!!! |

| I love my Kwigy-bo! And I blame all of these lovely ladies on here for me getting it! Peer pressure! And I plan on getting another one from Ryan, because it was such a breeze! I'm actually getting a large one this time. Just in case I plan on an addition! P.S. I have the smalll and Giz fits in it, but he likes his wiggle room, so I'm thinking about getting a large and Giz is about 5 lbs.

| Thanks for all the info. I'm nervous about buying one .... I don't normally carry a purse and I have never carried a large one, I know large purses and bags are in style right now. I am short 5'1" so I didn't want it to be to big for my body. |

Hope will be 8 at the end of the month. I have only had her for a month now. Do you have a problem with the bag being lop sided while you carry it if he goes more to one end? | |

| He is very cute, thanks for the pics. Hope will be 8 at the end of the month but I have only had her for 1 month. Do you find that the bags becomes lop sided, while you carry it, if he goes more to one side ? |

I'm short as well, and hate carrying purses. the only advice I can give you is measure your dog. Weight means nothing! Kaji is 7 lbs (8 when he's chunky) and fits in a small KB Alex. I've seen shorter dog's that weigh much more than Kaji does, and I've seen taller dog's that weigh much less. To insure proper fit for your pup, focus more on measurements, not on weight.
