They usually have padding over the chest and you will see the construction is different than most store harnesses as it is all about pulling and thus needs to be built to make it distribute weight evenly. If you do a search for "Roading Harness" you should be able to find some. Not sure where my breeder got hers from (I have been borrowing it for like 3 years lol) I really like the look of this first one... here are some links to get you started. You could also look for ones made for weight pullers, though I personally would stick with the roading as they are made for the sporting breeds so may fit better.<br /><br />http://www.gundogsupply.com/k9-komfort-biothane-roading-harness.html<br /><br />http://www.gundogsonline.com/dog-collars/leather-dog-collars/leather-roading-harness.html<br /><br />http://www.gundogsupply.com/k-9-komfort-old-time-harness-leather-roading-harness.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6097006319128873953.post-8655215176399152792012-06-20T19:06:53.275-07:002012-06-20T19:06:53.275-07:00Thanks for the advice!

But in the end she got back to normal and it never even affected her in the show ring let alone the field. Have you thought about rollerblading with her?? I let luna pull me on blades and she loves it. I do use a special roading/pulling harness though for this as it distributes the weight better due to the design. If you have paved areas near you this might be another great outlet for her. Luna sees the harness and knows she gets to go, I put a short leash attached to harness ring, then another to her neck that allows me to control her neck but allows her to pull with the other. Works out really well<br />Anna<br />www.akginspiration.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
