Hi Everyone!

I have a question that I hope someone can help me with.

I have recently become a new "Mommy" to our sweet little yorkie puppy.

We were having troubles finding a harness that fit our new little girl. Bought a "Lil' Pals" harness but did not like the way it fit around her neck. So, after reading here I found suggestions of getting a ferret harness.

I bought a ferret harness and it fits my little girl perfectly.

Today, when I took it off of her, one of the plastic clasps fell apart. No fixable.

So, since I had not had this very long, took it back to exchange at the store where I originally bought it.

I fear the same problem will happen, with the plastic clasp falling apart again.

I do sew but have not found a pattern small enough to make my little girl a new harness. I also need to find the webbing and plastic clasps. I have checked online and have not found supplies that I need yet.

I know since my little girl will remain small even as an adult, I could just use velcro only for closures. I like the "security" of having the clasps also.

Questions I have:

Where to find a pattern to make a xs harness?

Where to find plastic clasps?

And are there any stores where I can actually find a harness that will fit my little girl? I have checked most of the local pet stores for an xs harness. Have not found anything that will fit her, other than the ferret harness.

I have actually scanned this harness that I may use as a pattern. Just don't have a clue where to find the webbing and clasps.

I do design, do ALOT of sewing and also machine embroidery. I am sure I can figure out something similar to this ferret harness.

Thank you in advance for any help or suggestions.
