Just got Rhaegar a new leather Connected Control Harness from Bold Lead Designs. I pretty much raised Rhaegar on a front attaching harness, so he walks great on it, and I wanted to stick with that style. We've loved our Ruffwear Front Range harness for him, but I was a little concerned about the durability of the front attachment (made of rubber and thick fabric sewed to the harness), so I usually walked him with a leash with 2 attachements (one to the front, and one to the back just in case it ever snapped). Well that was getting pretty annoying, so I started to look for alternatives (note to self: include the word "dog" when performing a google search for black leather harnesses....). I also didn't want one that went straight across the shoulders, restricting movement like the Easy Walk harness does. I'm pretty sure this is the only front attaching leather harness on the market. We got it last night (size large), and it took me a while to get a good fit on Rhaegar (every part of it is adjustable). So far, I'm really happy. It seems super sturdy, and the fit isn't bad. It's a little heavy and a little stiff, but I know the leather will soften up significantly with time and use. I'm a little concerned about rubbing of the buckles in his armpit region, so I'll just keep an eye on that. He seemed comfortable in it on our walk today. Anyway, just thought I'd share! Also, trying to embed photos with flickr instead of photobucket for the first time, so hopefully it works......
