I use 2" wide velcro(on the chest) on any dogs 7+ pounds and I use at least 4 inch long strips on the belly. I do not recommend sewing the d-ring down with ribbon or anythign thin like that, use a sturdy thick piece of fabric that has been folded at least 3 times and reinforce the stitch to the back lining. You could even use nylon webbing to sew the d-ring, that woudl be really strong. My 8lb chi wears my harnesses adn Ive never had a problem. One of the seamstresses that works for me has a 15 lb rat terrier and a 20lb boston terrier and they wear the harnesses we make and havent had any problems. |
