No, I have a malti-poo that ways 10 lbs. No, it would be uncomfortable for hiking or biking however it depends on your comfort.

I think it will yes. It will be pretty heavy for a hike, but we have a dachshund/Schnauzer 19 pound pup and we take him biking!!! just make sure to get your pup used to it before you do long activities.

I am using this backpack with a 14 lb yorkie. My dog fits in the pack just fine, however I find that after about an hour or so walking with it my back begins to fatigue. My dog loves it and doesn't want to get out of it.

Our Jack Russell weighs about 12 lbs and from the top of her head to tail she measures 17 inches. The interior measurements of the carrier are 18 x12x9inches. Bailey sits in it with comfortable head room . The weight of your dog shouldn't be an issue, but your dog's sitting height might. Hope this info helps.

I actually purchased this for my Amazon parrot. I made a purchase for it and he goes for walks and bike rides with us. However it is a bit small for a Shitzu as pictured in the item photo. If your dog is smaller than that then it will work.

I agree with Steve and Halene reply. Measure your dog. I had a 12 lb yorkie and she had plenty of room to sit and stand and turn around. She loved this carrier. She past away last year and still use this backpack with our other yorkie. I haven't had any problems with this carrier.

I have a 5 pound yorkie so I don't know how your dogs would fit or not. I love the stroller and use it all the time as I love to walk for exercise and she is too small to walk with me very far. I wouldn't put anything real heavy in the basket but it is sturdy and useable.

Yes, my neighbors have a Yorkie that loves to ride. It's quite sturdy if attached properly.

I'm sorry, not sure. I have two teacup yorkies that both together weigh 8lbs.......they like to ride. My guess would be yes but that's all I can say.

It really depends on the size and girth of the dog's neck. I have a colossal sized German Shepherd. She could easily weigh 100+ pounds. However, I work very hard, run with her and keep her trim. She is able to use the Herm Sprenger 18" Prong Collar with no problem. However, if your dog is very muscular, stout and has a very thick neck (17.5" or larger) . . . I would recommend a larger size. You can purchase extra links to increase the size. If you are going to run or bike with the dog, I would STRONGLY consider a "Gentle Leader" in the stead of a prong collar. I solely (ONLY) utilize the Gentle Leader for biking and running.

Hi Christa,We see no problem with the size and weight of your dog. To our side in this, we have two dogs and there is plenty of room for both. The construction of this doggyhut is very well made and should you purchase this you will not regret getting this model. Hope this helps you.

Yes absolutely! I can fit both my 5lb Yorkies (at the same time in there). But with just one dog there is enough room for them to move around and get comfortable, put toys,and a little blanket. It's just the right size to be versatile enough with being clumsy.

My 10 Lb. Yorkie Poo shares it with a 15 lb. schnauzer sometimes and it works pretty well. I think you would be fine. The seat has two tethers to attach to their collars too.

No. I have a lab that weighs 70lbs. This is way too big for a yorkie. You might have luck with "stop it" spray. It's about $6 on Amazon and closer to $20 at petsmart. Great for bad behaviors like jumping and barking. Broke our dog from jumping almost immediately. No harm to the dog and smells nice. Good luck with your search.

I have used it for my two bichonsand it works well its about the size of a child stroller my two year old granddaughter fits in. Very light weight

My dog was a lil chubby 19lb she fit perfect! I love this purchase for her. I think yours should be fine your pup just may not have room to move around a lot. I have a doxy so a long body and it's perfect. I did a lol of research and this was by far the best! Good much!

I think this small one would work. My Yorkie is 2.5 lbs but she is skinny and long. It says it will fit up to 6 lbs and I believe that to be true.

I have a 21 lb terrier mix who fits well if her head sticks out. She loves riding on my bike!! Just got back from a three hour ride from Palm Springs!

Well.. my dog is aprox 12 pounds,and I think that the steel pices in the harness could be to heavy for her walking for a while, but maybe with a bigger dog could work. The wheight of the harness is 160 grams ( whithout the part for the seatbelt)

My Yorkie is at least 10 lbs and may be a bit heavier now too and I have a 15 lb Maltese mix. I can't groom him on this as he is 15 yrs old and disabled and can no longer stand but I am sure he would fit on it. It is pretty sturdy and with my Yorkie she has plenty of room...I could give you the dimensions if they are not listed which may help. Hope this helps and I even have a couple of photos of her on it I could forward to you if you give me your email.

Absolutely. I bought it for my dog that is 22lbs.and it was way to big. I returned it for a smaller size. Have fun on the trails!

My long panda dog/beagle mix does not and she is only 6 lbs. because the holes are too close together for her tall body. I would think a yorkie would be okay. She liked it, but couldn't fit. Trying a sling bag instead.
