It must be the half size that has the different center.

Nancy, I doubt yours is fake. I recall reading older threads when I was researching the BB and some people had the maple leaf and others did not. BB must have added it or made some without it.

I remember trying Buddy Belts on my Schnauzer at a show, and the BB representatives said that they were going to make some changes to the "chest" size, because some dogs have a more narrow chest, and others are wider. It was why the original belt never fit my schnauzer properly. It was either too big or too small...maybe the new design is to fit a different chest shape.

Oh good, I gave lots of people that vendors name, I'd hate to think I was pushing counterfeit! It’s Ann’s fault!

Sure, blame Ann when she can't defend herself!

LOL, if she were really innocent, she'd find a way to defend herself!

I just messaged the seller. I'm thinking it has to be the 3.5 size. But she has it listed as a 4. I think 3.5 is the only half size they make, is that right?

The maple leaf is on mine too. I think they added that a few years ago.
I did see some knock off BB on ebay a while ago, but they were knock offs, not fakes. They were not listed as BB. They were listed as harness belts for your buddy. Ha!

Mogans buddy belt looks like that and it does have a maple leaf on it he is growing so I will probably have to get a bigger size// his is tan

I think it is for the chest size...when I was discussing sizing with Susan from Wet Nose Boutique, she recommended the 3.5 size for Jada because she has a muscular chest

but she is little everywhere else.

Yeah, that one is obviously fake. What I meant was the other ones I saw on ebay weren't called BB, but they put the words buddy and belt so it would come up in searches.

OT: Whoa I just got a total deja vu feeling.

weird

Have you in another lifetime looked for BB on the web???????? This is boring, but my psych professor said that deja vu is cause by your brain having a little hiccup, and skipping a head, than back and you get the feeling you been there done that. Although, I really believe that there's more to it than that sometimes.
