I did look over the buddy belts but I'm thinking that I'm not going to be fond of the belt buckle. I guess maybe it sounds a bit lame on my part but I do like the the closure of the current step in that I have. Thank you for all your opinions and experiences with the differnt types of harnesses.

I personally love the Buddy Belt. The first one I bought was probably.. 4 ish years ago and to this day it looks bran new. Pnut has been in water, lakes, beaches, snow, mountians,.. Etc in it and it doesnt phase it. Very sturdy, very comfortable. He has worn it all day and isnt bothered by it. It has super soft leather under the armpits so there is no redness or rubbing. I highly recommend the BB! I also couldnt tell you how many comments we get about it!

It would be good if that thread was turned into a sticky.

Hi there,

I don't know if you've found that perfect harness yet, but we absolutely LOVE our Susan Lanci step-in harnesses from GW Little. They carry many different kinds of harnesses of all types.

I love the Susan Lanci because they are super easy to use, they are very soft and comfortable (they come in tons of colors and custom options) AND they are made right here in America! They are also machine (in a lingerie bag) washable and hand-washable. You can see all their harnesses here:
Dog Harnesses for your small dog.

Here is the one that all our little ones use:
Susan Lanci Dog Harness in Soft Ultrasuede Step-In Design

The Lanci designs are a bit pricey, but they are so worth it. We have three Chihuahuas and one Yorkie and they all have the Susan Lanci step in harness and they love them because they don't pinch or bind. We've had our harnesses for over three years and they still look amazing. I expect to keep them for many more years.

GW Little also has a fit guarantee if you aren't sure of fit - you can order mutliple sizes and check fit prior to purchase and its free. They also do free exchanges if the size is wrong. They are great over there!

Anyway, I hope you find the perfect thing if you haven't already!

Bought a BB. Didn't think I would like the buckle closure but so far we are good with it. Thank you for the link.

I would also like the Buddy Belt. I don't have one but have heard great things about them. Maximo on YT sells them.

Love the picture -- great color choice! ^^ Rosie and Mikki are such dolls.

I prefer the buddie belt. We take three of our babys with us everywhere and putting on harnesses and leashes are made sooooo much easier with a buddie belt. I had purchased one for Mina and liked it so much that I purchased one for the chi,who can get out of every other harness. Our third buddie belt arrived yesterday from W.Fields.

Looks like Coco will be needing a new BB. I just got her beautiful grape BB about a week ago and today while we were in the car for a short ride into town this 4yr old little tiger chewed it into. She was in her car seat and I just happend to look back and noticed she was chewing. Thought she was chewing a her paw at first but noticed it was her BB!!!! Little stinker!!!
