Thanks Joy and everyone else for responding to my concerns. I really, really appreciate it. It's a question I've had for a long, long time, but never would have guessed I could use them. My fear level is pretty high, because the traffic in front of our house travels at some pretty high speeds, even though the speed limit is 40.

We always walk along the side street and in our yard (which is an acre), but if she got out of her harness, I don't know what I'd do!

I love the BELLA harness dress & the Susan Lanci Designs Harness. BOTH can be way pricy, but I really love the designs. The BELLA's can be found on Brooke's site, www.imapreciouspup.com and the Susan ones can be found on www.gwlittle.com but I have had good luck finding them a bit cheaper on eBay.

They have a lot of nice harnesses at www.gollygear.com including the Susan Lanci ones. I want one of the suede susan lanci ones so bad, but I just haven't been able to part with the money yet. Maybe once he stops growing.

Hey Shana,
I don't 'think' that Brooke sell Susan Lanci's.
Here is a link to the gwlittle site, http://www.gwlittle.com/catalog.php?sec=11&cat=45
the pink bow w/ rhinestone and the daisy with bumblebee are part of her collection and the 2 that I own. They are the cutest!!! I get so many compliments on them. She has a lot but I wanted for you to at least see some.

How snug is a harness supposed to be? I have the ordinary kind with straps.

StewiesMom · 09-24-2005, 08:05 AM

I love the harness that Jodi made me. Stewie is over 7lbs and its still very sturdy.

Hi, I think it is a personal preference..I like the harnesses on my furkids to be snug so they are not twisting around. It looks uncomfortable when they do. But that is me. Others may like them more loose. My babies seem to like the snugger fit. Not so snug that I cant get a finger or two between but a comfortable snug fit. Hope this helps.

I have ordered from both Joy and Brooke and loved their clothing. Joy made a really sturdy harness for my Gus,,,,, mind you he's only 2.9 lbs. I have yet to order from Shanatink, but plan to very soon.

I have just added the mesh harnesses to my website. They are $20 after the 20% off YT discount if anyone is interested.

Joy · 09-24-2005, 11:22 AM

Here are four of my Harnesses. What do you think? They are $15.00 and that includes shipping.

That one is awesome. Chewy loves it much more than his older harnesses. It goes off an on easier than any other harness I have seen, he wears it full time, and it's built with a seat-belt loop in it so that you can buckle up your little buddy. Very durrable and extremely comfortable all-around harness. Strongly recomended.

When they're wearing harnesses, where do you put the tags. I put Susan's on the back but that doesn't look right to me. Where do most people put them? While we're on the subject, do your dogs wear their rabies tags all the time? What about their AKC find a dog (whatever it's called) tag? What about a name tag? Isn't that a lot of tags? I've thought about putting them on her leash but leashed dogs don't get lost as often as unleashed dogs because they're easier to catch. I thought about only putting the tags on when we go out, but dogs don't get lost when you're prepared for them to. If you knew they were going to get lost, you wouldn't let them. What's safe, practical and doesn't look too weird?
