will this work for my mini doxie since she has long torso and short limbs?

I think it would, there's plenty of room in it, and if you don't like it you can send it back. I use mine alot, my toy poodle loves it, on cold mornings she snuggles in while I make breakfast. washes good too!

Yes! Even though she has short legs, the sling is excellent and she won't have any issues having her head poke over to see it all!

I'm not sure how long your mini doxie is, but my teacup Yorkie's back length is about 6" and there's a lot of room (length) for her. She is tiny (almost 1.5 lb), so her legs are very short too. With a thick blanket on the bottom of the sling to give her a boost (and to make it more cozy), it works fine for her. It should work for your doxie as well (with a blanket) unless she's a lot bigger/heavier than my puppy. I hope this helps.

my girl is a chiweenie and it works well for her. she has a long body and long legs.

mine is a little guy; i put a blanket in bottom and that seems to work out great.

Let us know if it worked for you! None of the pet slings have worked for my 9 lb mini doxie, she just is too long to be able to get comfy. Same problem with many carry bags :(

If it is a small, it will. They are adjustable, so has a lot of room. I just love it, and my 14 lb Chihuahua like it also.

I tested it with my 10 pounder and she fits just fine. I also have a maine coon but she might be a bit too tall for it.

It should. I used it for my dachshund when she was a baby. I don't really use it for her now because she's too long. However, if I needed something in a pinch that was really short term (like transporting her somewhere) I might use it.

My dachshund who weighs 27 pounds fits into this thing just fine...but he loves close quarters. I would think a mini anything would work out fine.

I have a West Highland Terrier who weights 20 lbs. with short legs. He just fits. It's shallow, so I don't think a dog with long legs would be able to sit down very well.

Yes! My dog has very short legs like a dachshund and it fits him perfect. He is about 12.5 pounds. Hope that helps.

my dog's neck is 15" and i took a link out to fit her perfectly. you might consider a smaller size if available. good luck with your pooch.

I use it for my great dane, who has very short hair. The prongs are less than an inch long, so you might consider looking at the prong extensions they sell separately. Great product for me!!

it might. Our German Short Hair is less than 30 lbs and he fits it. We had to really make good use of the velcro sizing for it but it has been great for keeping him safely and comfortably tied up.

Yes it does. I use the shorter ones on my lab. She is a little girl about 60-65 pounds, but she has the typical thick lab fur and the short prongs work really well-almost too strong at times esp. if she is swimming.

I have a mini-pin/chihuahua mix and she is about 20 lbs with most of it around her shoulders. The bottom strap is adjustable so it fits well in the shoulders and can be adjusted for the middle. I don't think it is too long for my girl. I know it's a pain but if it doesn't fit, you can always send it back.

Absolutely. Follow the advice on their website regarding sizing of the harness by measuring your dog's legs and it will work. It will prove to be some of the best money you'll spend for your dog. -KEL

We have a mini-dachsund(10 lbs) and it works very well for her. I could not answer how well it would do if she was tired. We used the jacket to do water therapy after she had damage to her spine.

I'm not completely sure my bichon's fur is kept short for the most part when it is longer I don't have any problems. I love this harness and now own it for all 3 of my dogs

If the doll body is no more than 2.5 inch wide, it will work. Otherwise, find something else that will.

I wouldn't recommend this for a dwarf. I have a mini lop (averaging 5-10 pounds) and it is just small enough. A dwarf would more likely fit in a guinea pig leash/harness as their weight and build are similar!
