Harness in red? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

kewtee · 06-30-2005, 10:13 AM

I am in need of your wise assistance once again!

I am buying a harness for Kali, since she is starting to have traecea (spelling might be wrong) problems.

Harness

I like this one, but I don't want a pink or babyblue harness, since she is a very dangerous kill-on-the-loose dog when she takes walks.
Have any of you seen this or one that resembles it in red? It could also be pine green.
I am picky - I don't want one with velcro and I don't want patterns, wings or diamonds - this is strictly for taking walks

Thanks

Mette

Do those type of harnesses cause the hair to mat? Are they warm for the dog on a hot day? I am still using a kitten harness for Mya. It has easy clips on the back of the neck and back. It is very supportive and comes in a rainbow of colours including red.

I have to keep Tino & Bunny in harnesses too bc I worry about their tracheas as well.

Here are some links:

They each have this harness and I love it! It come in red and its sooo cute!

Totally awesome harness - I fell in love with the red one immidiately - but 58$??? Nosirreee, I don't think so...
Besides - doesn't it pull their throat anyway when it's main support is the throat?

Mette -that is a very good point and one that has been bothering me too for ages now... the harnesses I have (bought in UK so I can't help with a website etc!) are great when Gyps and Gizz walk normally but when Gypsy Rose gets nervous of something or another and wants to head for home she PULLS badly and makes a dreadful noise as she does so .. I end up carrying her out of sheer worry .. all 10lbs of her!! Ana xx

Thanks Ana - that set my mind to not get that kind of harness.
Maybe I could buy the pink one and dye it?

sabrinasmom · 06-30-2005, 12:22 PM

This is the one I have for Sabrina. I know it comes in blue, pink and beige. I got Sabrina the pink one, and for the puppy I'm getting this weekend I got the beige. Sabrina loves it and I do too. It's really really hot down here and it's cool. No pulling on it either from her. It doesn't mat up their hair at all that I've noticed on Sabrina. I don't think they come in red, but I'm thinking about getting another pink or beige one and painting it with red acrylic or fabric paint. New puppy's going to be blacker, so I think she'll look good in red.

I have seen other members get this one and they said they like it. Just can't leave it on too long, because it rubs under their little legs.

No it doesnt pull on their throats at all. I have to be really careful with Tino bc he has a weak trachea and also with Bunny bc hers is still developing and even when they pull in these harnesses it does hit them on their throat, its lower on their chest since its a step in.

Damn you're making me want one!
Thanks for taking time to explain

These are my favorite harnesses and leashes:
http://www.alpenschatz.com/soft_leather_harnesses.htm
They are pricy, but I only plan on using one! They are very soft leather, especially on the "underarms" and don't pinch or bind. My dogs also seem to mat less with the rolled leather.

i'm in canada, so i'm not sure if they have these in the US. they must... you guys have everything else and more! they are called "buddy belts" and they are really wonderful. i use them for my pugs and my YORKIE. he is tiny - only 4 lbs, so i know the hassle in trying to find a harness that actually works for the little guys. i will try to find a picture of them, but if you look up buddy belts on the internet, i'm sure you will find them. they are comfortable and really easy to use!

I love the La Cinopelca! I have the pink snakeskin leash for Bunny, but the harnesses are too big for her... what size is your yorkie in girth? I would love for her to grown into one!!!

I love them too. Right now I have the extra small and small (in blue) for my two Maltese boys, I am currently searching for a pink leather harness small enough for my two pound Yorkie mix girl. I want them plain and undecorated like the La Cinoplelca harnesses. If I find something, I will post and let you know.

My smallest Maltese boy is 3 1/2 pounds-the extra small harness fits perfectly
My largest Maltese is 7 1/2 pounds and wears the small.

Just wanted to follow up on this thread in case others should be interested.
I found a rolled step-in harness in all the right colors. Look here: https://www.tailsend.com/productcart...&idproduct=431
And I have bought 2 keychains with hearts in my local "store with stuff" that can be put on it to look like those very expensive ones
