Can you carry your dog(s)?

[Cincy'sMom]

I can carry all of mine, but generally don't. I have picked them up and held them for lengths of time so they could visit people in hospital beds, and such at therapy visits. Even though Cincy and Sadie weigh the same, Sadie is much easier to lift and carry becuase the weight distribution.

(Spot weighs 50 lbs, Sadie and Cincy about 75)

[Chica]

YES! I CAN CARRY CHICA, SHE WEIGHS 8 LBS. I CARRY HER SOMETIMES IN A SPECIAL DOG PURSE SO SHE CAN GO TO THE MALL WITH ME.

I can carry Major. I can easily lift him up and do quite often, but I don't carry him as often. I'm not sure how much he weighs.

[cyber-sibes]

If I was desperate enough, I could probably carry them, but I wouldnt get too far......Star weighs about 50 lbs and Sherman about 53 lbs. My son still picks Star up and carries her around like a little puppy - he's the only one she lets do this to her!!! With others, she gets very indignant.
(but I can heft her up onto a vet's table by myself)

Nebo is 60 lbs and I can pick him up and carry him. I've carried him quite far before...like from the backyard up 2 flights of stairs to the bathroom when he's all muddy.

Reggie is around 20 lbs and Sydney around 15 I think. Reggie hates to be held he goes all stiff so I don't pick him up unless I have to. Syd is a snuggler, I pick her up and carry her quite often.

yea jess is only about 38 lbs.

[Oggyflute]

I can carry both Oggy & Flute, but they are 22kg, so I'd really rather not.

[K9karen]

Logan is 60 pounds..don't think I'd even try!

[Corinna]

2 Newfys and a Springer are you nuts!
Takes 2 of us to get them in the tub.

My big sucky baby Samson weighs in at 160lbs of pure muscle. I can pick him up ..just... to put him him in the bath. He won't get in himself as he hates baths lol. He weighs 30lbs more than I do!!

He is a mixture of large German Shepherd, English Mastiff and Rottweiller and the softest most gentle lovable dog I have seen!

He still thinks he is a 25lb pup and loves to lie across our legs on the sofa!

Elvis i can easily carry, but Clover nuh uh she weighs too much. Elvis weighs 17 Kilograms and Clover weighs in at about 30 kiliograms. Penny and Theo i can definitely carry, they both weigh 5 Kilograms each.

Haha, thats funny. No I can't carry Goliath, he weighs 111 lbs. He used to weigh 120 and we were the exact same weight. He still thinks he is the 8 lbs he was when we got him and tries to sleep on my lap.

My husband can carry him though, one time we were for a walk and the salt and ice and cold were bothering his feet and he started to limp, so my husband carried him the rest of the way home. It looked pretty silly but you gotta do what you gotta do.

[Palekaiko4]

Raven is like 55 pounds and yet she is hard to pick up and lug around, I carry her like a baby!! Sport on the other hand is a piece of cake! I think he is like 15-20....he gets carried the same way Raven does. Those spoiled little pups lol!

[RobiLee]

No way! Katie is 85 pounds and just too big for me to carry and Tori is 60 pounds and abslutely hates to be picked up and will fight and squirm the whole time.
