yes there should be plenty of room for what you want to do i just got the IRIS pen for my teddy bear puppy who is coming soon.I know a breeder who uses it for when she has a group of little puppies.I got the two panels that you can add to it because i want mine to be in the shape of a rectangle for my one puppy with her crate and her litter tray for indoor potty training. Her water bottle with connect to the sides of the pen and food bowl on the floor. There will be room for her to move about and play with her toys.

That should be fine, that is much bigger than 2 crates they would be in. I had a large breed puppy that would push the pen all over the place, but with your smaller dogs if should be fine. My puppy was 15lbs at 9 weeks.

...oh yes, I did not place any pee pads in the pen, I bought 4 panels to make a square pen, because my doggies did not use them appropriately. They decided to shred the pee pads and covered themselves with little pieces of them. So I decided to let them out every 2 hours so they can do their business. They have never soiled the inside of the pen. They sleep through the night starting from 8 pm to 6 am.

I am sure it will be. I have a four panel for one dog. I have a pee pad, bed toys and food. It has plenty of room for him.

I have a 6 lb yorkie and she fit perfectly into the x-small. I recently uploaded a pic of her under the reviews. IT was so comfy that she immediately fell asleep. The weight of the xs is also perfect for the Yorkie's fragile neck. Good Luck with your pup.

I have a 7 lb Yorkie and the medium is great with enough room. Had the small but too tight and he wouldn't get in it. Problem was solved by getting the medium. Should be enough and roomy for your 2 lbs pups.

I have a 5lb yorkie and it's prob bigger than he needs. It's a good size for him; however a larger dog can use it but prob won't be able to go on the same pad as many times as my dog does. Hope this helps.

I use a similar pen for litters of puppies I foster. Mine is set up as a 4' square and I have a 72 inch square whelping pad beneath it to protect my carpet, and disposable/washable layers on top of that to change out and keep it clean. I found that it migrates under the pen with use, so now I have the pad on two sides clamped onto lengths of 1 x 3 against the corner to keep it in place.

Yes, I have 4 small dogs and though they can't all play in at once they can all sleep in it at the same time. So two yorkies should have plenty of room. My dogs are two cairn (like toto off the wizard of oz), min pin/chihuahua, and an Italian greyhound, and they love to sleep in it together. Hope this helps :)

I would say no to two of anything older then 10 week old puppies. I bought my 1st of this carrier at a TJ Maxx. And then came to Amazon for another 5, that is how much I like the style. My Maltipoo flies commercially with me about 1x a month. The carrier fits under a seat, but the top does get smooshed down. My Maltipoo is almost 10 lbs is 16" inches from the base of his head to his tail. He is 10" tall from ground to top of shoulder blades, around his chest he measures 13" inches. He can stand and turn around and loves it. But in all honestly my Maltipoo loves being in purses and carriers. My other fosters, just slightly larger by say 3lbs and 2" length or height are not so pleased with the carrier. Also I caution the opening is small. My guy likes crates and such so he sneaks right in. For the other doggies I have to unzip the sides and drop them in that way. Hope this helps

I can put both my shelties in the play pen and they do very well. One is 16" tall and the other is 12" tall. I am very happy with my play pen.

I too have Yorkies! Only with exceptions will the size small fit otherwise it will slide right off. I have a 2.5 pound yorkie and use these but only after washing and drying 3 times to shrink it than with a U by kotex pad inside of it. I use the security maxi over night absorbent pads and cut 3 inches off the end. The bulk of the kotex pad is what helps it stay on. You can buy the kotex at a great price right on amazon. The pads stay really dry to the skin perfect for our babies.

I have a yorkie which is jumper,too. The small one I got was plenty big enough to put a pee pad holder, a small comfie bed and some toys. You can get a bigger one at the same price. My problem was space. It has worked very well so far just remember there are two doors and make sure both is fastened down.

Good Sunday morning! We have the XL model and can accommodate two dogs. One is a 70 lb. Olde English Bulldogge and the other is a Boston Terrier mix about 38 lbs. Having four wheels is key as the weight shift within is inevitable as they move around so won't tip over. Most of the upper part of the carrier is mesh. The top unzips and so does the whole front end for ease of entry/exit. The carrier sits about 5-6" off the ground so not too difficult to help an ailing dog inside. Our Bulldogge is invalid and frequently needs a "boost" to get inside and BOTH dogs love it! We put a cushion inside to lay on as the floor is firm. Would strongly recommend this carrier.

For my 8 pound Yorkie I purchased a medium size and it was just right!!! Any smaller she would not be able to stretch out while sleeping! Hope this helps!!!

actually..I think 6 panels would work better..especially if you want a crate in there too..What I do is put the crate on the outside panel with the door.and open the crate door and pen door and line the two openings up..and this way they have a sleep area and thr puppy pad and food,water dishes can go inside...I raise tiny chihuahuas so they work great for me..the height will be good and space wise you would be better to expand to 6 panels for the corgi's..But I will say I love the Iris pens...hope I have helped...

I think that your Yorke would be very happy in this carrier. He or she should feel nice and snuggly in this. My dog is about 7 pounds, and she fits in nice and snuggly. She likes to put her front legs out while I go around to do some chores, make her meals, etc., then she snuggles up deep inside. They like to feel close to your body.This sling carrier has been such a comfort to Maya, since she was a shelter dog, and cuddled in it the first time I put her in.Of course your dog is a bit smaller than mine, I honestly think it would be perfect. At first, make extra sure your puppy doesn't try to jump out, although I have not had a problem with that. Good Luck! I think that your Yorke would be very happy in this carrier.

Believe me you don' want the extra large I made that mistake because I have 3 dogs but the are small dogs and I have one to sell if you want to buy one it has never been used because it goes by the size of your dog not how many you have. The extra large will fit a springer spaniel I can fit in the extra large in a sitting position my husband put the dogs in there with me an we could close all the hatches. In essence it is very big. Big enough that it wont fit through doorways unless you have a pit bull you do not want the extra large as I said I have one cheap for sale I didn't send it back because I didn't want to pay he shipping it is very heavy and was not for my purpose but if you want to gauge measure the height and length of your dog. I have 3 yorkies and we just laughed when we got it because it was so big as I said I fit inside but it is too big to maneuver around. You might want to ask the seller what size dog each one is made for. I hope this helps

My two dogs are about 6-7 lbs each; the longer one is about 18 inches long (head to rear). There is plenty of room for them to play around and stretch. I just checked my order history, and the one I got was a large, 36 x 23(H) x 36 if that helps. The thing is, my dogs were smart enough to make the pen collapse and roll around on its side, and since the zippers were broken on the top and on the side gate, they were able to come out of the pen on their own. Hope that helps.
