They are reinforced with interfacing. Well then in that case any fabric can be used then. The slubs are no better for yorkie hair than any other fabric. There is no harness on the planet that will not tangle or break long yorkie hair if it is worn every day. Any harness maker saying theirs will not break or tangle yorkie hair is a lie.
If you are planning to invest $30-40 on a harness, I would go for BB. Actually they are $40+ but if you buy their adult size (and don't lose it or have it damaged) you will never need another harness, unless of course you WANT one. You will want to collect them once you get your first. I was lucky to get our first used on ebay for $20+ incl the matching leash. We still use it to this day. It's been about 6 years.
Also, BB are strong enough to lift your yorkie up by the leash if trouble prevents itself. Can't say the same of any other harness. Plus the BBs even though are leather can withstand water. |
Thank you for all the information. I am looking on line at BB but not bought yet.
My little boy is almost 8 months so not sure what size would fit for years to come. Right now he weighs 5 1/2 lbs. he was supposed to be bred to stander.
Can you adjust belt through growing?
