When you have a dachshund, or, in my case, a mini dachshund (or any dog with a long back), you have to be very careful about what type of carrier you use. Your puppy or adult has to be able to lay down in the carrier to prevent back injuries with those long backs. Carriers where they have to sit up are just not very comfortable or safe for a long back puppy. Now, finding carriers that allow this is not as easy as one would think. Not many carriers actually allow them to lie down like this. When I saw this carrier, I knew it was one I would need to try. My puppy is only 13 weeks old (9 weeks when I got her) so I could not put her on a leash and just walk her as she was not fully vaccinated and our vet said not until she is 22 weeks old. This means, a lot of carrying puppy in my future. I needed a carrier. This one works and is comfortable for both of us!
I put a blanket inside to give her something soft to lay on, and throw a couple of her favorite toys inside and she is happy.
PROS:
The carrier has a collar/harness clip inside to hook to her harness to keep her safe and prevent her from jumping out.
There is a very nice, large pocket on it where you could keep training treats, your keys, or wallet. My phone fits perfectly in this pocket which is very convenient.
When she is in the carrier, the shoulder strap is very comfortable for me.
The sides are adjustable to make sure she can see, get in and out, and keep her level on my hip.
There are nice side vents to allow for air flow through the carrier, not just over it.
CONS:
I do wish that the adjustable side straps were on the opposite end as the collar/harness clip because she thinks it is a great chew toy but that is the only thing I would see as a con.
Overall, I do see it as a great carrier for any puppy but very useful for my mini dachshund and any other long back puppers out there.
Would be great if they made it in other colors as well, but the grey is very nice and I cannot complain. If you want a comfortable carrier where your puppy can lie down, this is a great one to try.

I have both small & medium.
I ordered a used "very good" one. I didnt realize there was in a grey color. But that is what I received and i like the grey much better than the black that i thought i was getting. Anyway my yorkie is 3.8 pounds. She just fits in it though for comfort i had to out some hand towels down. It took a bit to figure out how to get it on. She can not really down in it. It would need to be just a little wider. But height wise it was perfect. She could easily see everything. I just wish she could of laid down in it too because sometimes her legs get achy. If she could lay down then yes it would be 5 stars. But over all it was nice. I wish i could of attached her small waterbottle to it some how too. I ordered a small size. I'd say any dog 4lb and above to go to the medium size. I probably could of even gotten a medium for Peanut and most likely them she could of laid down in, which would of been more ideal over all.I have attached a photo of Peanut actual full body size and a photo of her in the small front carrier.I ended up purchasing a "very good" medium finally. It is the same grey color. A huge difference in sizing i think. I think she will like the medium much more. As soon as it gets nicer I will test it out. But she could definitely lay down in the medium. I have attached a photo of both small and medium next to each other. So you are able to see the size difference. I am thinking most even small dogs i would go with a medium. The first photo with her in the carrier is the small size. The last photo is the medium. The medium is a much nicer size. Though if you have a big dog, I do not think this is the right thing to use. It is still rather small and most likely for small breeds.

Las dos las sigo recomendando
