If I do this right, I can accomplish two chores at once. What good is having a dog the size of a horse if it can't do some work for you, I ask? Heh. I *would* recommend that if you're going to pull him, get a proper pulling harness--a tracking harness won't distribute his weight properly for a good pull. I bet there's stuff on the UKC site about this! |

But Meat Terri shouldn't get the green one, because the kibolgists are having a hard enough time telling the two of us apart. |

X-back harnesses are really best for dogs that are a little houndy/lanky (Alaskan Huskies, for example, or Emmett). Siwash and freighting-style harnesses are good for stockier dogs. I'd measure the dog and then phone someone knowledgeable (Nordkyn is an excellent place, and I've had terrific experiences ordering made-to-order harnesses from Alpine Outfitters - http://www.alpineoutfitters.net). -- Melinda Shore - Software longa, hardware brevis - According to a February Treasury Dept. report, current US fiscal policies will create more than $44 trillion in chronic debt |
