Yay!! I'm so happy the size is a good fit and that you and Gidget are enjoying the harness.
When I bought our first one for Max (long before I became a retailer), I was worried about the price. I am a very practical person on a budget, so my eyebrow was definitely raised.
Once we got it and used it, I fully understood. The leather Buddy Belt is a worthwhile investment. My boys' primary BBs, their daily use ones, are about 5 - 6 years old and they still look beautiful after lots of mileage. The boys are so comfortable in them.
For me, the security is the most important quality. Second is the ease of use. We can whip them on and off fast. My dad, who helps take care of the doggies, is 77 and really likes that quality.
You should have seen us trying to work an adjustable strappy harness from the pet store when we first had puppy Max. Poor little guy thought his humans were hopeless.
We gave up and bought a vest type before we learned about the Buddy Belt, lol.
