I have a stroller that I use on fun occassion (I really dont walk that much but I should). I got one that can also be used as a carseat and carrier. I really recommend something like that becuase you get the most function out of it for your money. I have it listed on my website if you are interested.

Rose Strolling Along

I have one and don't use it often but it sure is handy when I go to the ball park for granddaughter's t-ball games or just anywhere there might be a lot of people. It allows me to take my furbabies along without worrying that someone will step on them and without my arms giving out from trying to carry them around as that would be the alternative. I don't like strangers picking them up or petting them either without asking so it helps prevent that as well. Its just a handy tool all the way around. They seem to like it well enough although they would usually rather be out and getting into mischief! lol

I personally think strollers are a waste of money. Dogs need to walk for exercise! If you are worried about dirty feet, there are many booties/shoes available. Carriers provde protection in busy places as well. I know many people love the strollers though. *Shrug*

Just received my twin stroller yesterday! Perfect for my 4 babies. My big problem now is that 2 of my boys have starting being very agressive toward each other. Not sure how I'm going to handle it; do you just let them fight it out? Hate to do that, don't want them getting hurt.

I agree! Specially with more then one pup, its difficult to carry them around in a carrier over the shoulder, it wears you down. Cant imagine it to be good for your back on long shopping trips and walks.

We have one, but don't use it as much as I'd like. I bought mine to use for shopping and whatnot but have found it gathers more attention then what I would like. Everyone has to stop you to look inside and comment...it's not discreet at all. But it's great for long walks that your Yorkie wouldn't be able to keep up on.

I bought mine from a website I heard about here on YT but cant remember. If you search "strollers" I'm sure you'll find tons of great suggestions.

We just bought the Pet Gear/Happy Trails stroller. You can find it at petsmart, Ebay & a bunch of other sites. We are planning on using it when we go to festivals, fairs, etc.. We are taking it to the YorkieFair in Michigan.
Wrigley loves to walk, but in large crowds, I think it will be great to have!

This is the one we bought. It's really easy to open & close and it glides great!

I agree dogs need to walk for excersize, but strollers are great when you go places like the mall, shopping strips, traveling, or flea markets, you really wouldnt want your dog walking around there would you?
In a stroller you can take your babys all sorts of places and you dont have to worry about people petting them if you dont like that sort of thing and you can shop and put bags under the stroller, etc. They really do come in handy.

Bella needs to walk when you are walking, except in a crowd. Then the stroller is really handy, or if your walk is very long and she gets tired, you can put her in the stroller. Dogs need to walk to exercise so they don't get fat and also it helps keep their nails trimmed. I use a harness on my Yorkies with one of those leashes that retract. They both walk well with them. Any new puppy doesn't like walking on a leash. It's just something they learn to tolerate. Never put a collar on a Yorkie to walk it because their tracheas are so small that it could cause their trachea to collapse when they pull on the color. Always use a harness. I've found a ferret harness works well, but now they make dog harnesses like that. You just put their feet into the two opening and snap the harness around their middle. No choking involved with this harness.

We also have one just like yours LoveMyGirlz, we are so glad we got one. Now that we have Dollie, it will come in doubly handy. Ours also has the weather guard which is a clear vynal that goes over the top, with the high winds here it really is great to have that. I wouldn't want to think of being without their stroller, good decision on our part.
