I only work 3 days a week so I am going to open a store on Etsy. I figure why not combine my love of sewing and my love of Yorkies? Also there is a pet store that is opening down the street from me in March that will be selling a large number of handmade items so I am really hoping that they will be interested. Cross your fingers for me And I will definitely post a pic of the purse when I am done.

Wow! Good luck with your new endeavor. I am still learning to sew on a button and have it stay in place.

You always have to be careful on ebay because some people will charge a low price but put a huge shipping charge in for it.
Compare the shipping prices on the same items.
I did want to order an item on ebay that was only available in Canada. I found that the shipping charges between our countries are outrageous. I can get things shipped to me cheaper from China than Canada. Are there online sites in Canada that carry pet carriers? You might get a better deal. You also might get a better selection by searching for "pet carriers."
I guess I do a lot of online shopping and I did search for a pet carrier for a long time. Do you want one that looks like a purse and hides your pet or do you mind if it has a mesh window that shows? The thing I have found is that the ones I like usually have a mesh window that you cannot cover. Gracie doesn't like the way she has to squish down in the Quigy Bo so I looked all over until I found the fundel carrier. It's priced about the same as Quigy Bo though.

i hear ya, the shipping charges between canada and the us are ridicilious!i've been searching for pet stores online in canada,theres not many, all i've been able to find is big carriers for when you travel, i just need something small to carry on my arm with her, as long as it has some kind of mesh on it so she can breathe and can look out. I found some purses advertised as dog carrier purses, that had absolutley nothing for air ventelation!!. I found alot of great deals and tons of online pet stores in the us, added them to my cart went to checkout they calculate the shipping and its almost as much as the purse i want to buy lol,i'm sure something will turn up eventually, i'm hoping one of our 2 pet stores here has a sale, because theyre all around 125 plus tax...and theyre not even good quality and covered in thick dust lol but i keep checking on them and checking online, i'm sure i'll come across one eventually if not meesha will have to wait until the spring and i'll get her a kwigy bo or the fundel you mentioned...she might even turn out to be a teapot with all her growth sputs shes been having and not even fit in a purse then hehehe apperciate the help

oh and i came across this while searching for purses...never knew such a thing exsisted, is it just me or is this ,um kind of cruel?, wouldnt that hurt the dog, and chafe it around its legs after a while, just thought it was really ...weird, i was kind of shocked so thought i'd share, lol

[vardy2000]

You probably have found a purse/carrier by now but I was looking on dhgate.com, a china company and they have quite a few (don't know exactly what your looking for) for sale..Most of them with free shipping..make sure they will sell 1 piece in the one you like..good luck

I have seen them online but I have never seen anyone use one. I don't much like the idea. It may be "cool" for someone to walk around with a dog hanging off their shoulder but I doubt a dog would like it for any length of time.

I checked out the fundel carrier.
Its awesome , i love it.
Going to get one for oscar.

[Tina21]

Oh I love that fundle carrier! I have to make me one of those! Thanks for sharing

[southernbelle04]

I'm looking for one as well. I really would love to have a Kwigy Bo one too but I can't talk my husband into it. LOL. Maybe for a Christmas gift....

Anyways, I too have been keeping an eye on Ebay and have found many cute ones at reasonable prices. Good luck!

[Mee-sha]

ya i looked up the fundel ones too,i like how it shows you can carry hands free,but i also like how the purses, like the kwigy bo dont look like your carrying a dog, seems like alot of people are trying to find the perfect affordable purse, any yt vendors sell any too?...i decided i'm probably just going to wait and put the money i was going to spend on a cheaper one, toward a fundel or kwigy bo when i'm back working,also do you have to train them to like going in a bag,or do they usually just like it?

I wasn't sure if Sophie & Sam would like being in carriers since they were already 1 years old when I got them. The first ones I bought didn't zip closed all of the way on top and they kept trying to jump out of it! So I bought 2 of these to try and they love it!

It definitely isn't as nice as the others mentioned, but the clearance price is so great that you could use it to train her until you're ready to buy a more expensive one.

My husband had told me that since we have 2 and he would be carrying one of them, that he didn't want to have to carry something girly! So these work great for him too!
