| Can anyone recommend a good harness? My two need new harnesses; preferably leather (either real or faux.. it doesn't really matter). Does anyone have any suggestions? Anyone use Buddy Belts? I really like the look of them.. but they are so expensive.

Luvs Lulu Donating Member | For a good heavy duty leather one I suggest the BuddyBelt. They are about $30 but they are worth it. http://www.buddy-belts.com/m_15.asp There are some places that will carry it locally as well so check that to find it. They are great because they don't put any stress on the trachea of the dog and they are a good quality hand made leather.

| Forget eBay. Go to http://yhst-91919123581610.stores.yahoo.net/ (Medtropawlis or something). They're $23.90.

| Chattiesmom (Cindy) makes really great harnesses they aren't leather they are dupioni silk, but they hold up very well. She has a thread started somewhere, if you type in the search silk step in harnesses

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | I may soon have a size 1 or size 2 caramel Buddy Belt for sale. I'm waiting a bit to see which one will best suit Marcel longterm. They've each been worn about 3x - so it'll be essentially new.

What will be the deciding factor as to which goes on sale...only asking because I need to get one for lulu and she is kind of in between sizes. Lulu is 2.5 lbs and 9.5 inch girth and that is somewhere between the one and two. I was kind of leaning towards the size two in case she puts on a bit of weight...she has recently been spayed and the vet said she might put on an ounce or two. How big is Marcel?

There is SUCH a difference btwn the sizes though, you know! I do love the caramel color, btw. I do think the 2 will work for you - the pain is that you'll probably have to put it on the very tightest notch, which makes for a lot of leftover "belt". If you go size 1, you'll probably use the loosest - which is much easier to take on/off - but if they grow, you're sunk. The diff. in armholes is really apparent as well.

Ack...she has twigs for legs....right now I have her shaved down because after her surgery she had a lot of mats and it's gotten so hot. She really is a puny thing. I called the BB company and the lady suggested the size 1 because she said it might stretch some enabling some growth room. But I remember when I got one for Lex I had to get a size larger than the chart because the belt seemed a bit small. It's hard to buy something for that much that they will grow out of easily. I think I am leaning towards the size 2. Normally I don't have anything on her ( I take her potty off leash in our backyard) but when we go out I want a good harness on her so the on and off is not too much of a hassle if I have to really adjust it down and have a long tail. With the size 2 on Marcel when you have it on the tightest setting...is there a lot of room in the girth area?

On the tightest setting, there is still some room - it isn't "tight" or snug at this point. I almost wish it could go one tighter. The arm holes are pretty big, but are acceptable. Is there any way you could buy both and then just re-sell the one you don't use? (that's what I'm stuck with)

There is a place in Brooklyn that carries them (where I got Lex's) but she doesn't have any size 1 or 2 in stock. She said she mostly sells the 3 and up and occassionally gets the query for a size 2 which she orders. But if she orders it and it doesn't fit there is no refund since it's considered a custom order. Yep sounds like our two cuties are in the same boat. Nice tiny couple here.
