Disappointing
I was really excited to find a harness making business in the UK that promised to make a harness for my dog. I have a very delicately boned small miniature poodle and have been trying to find a harness to fit her as she has a very small neck but being a poodle has a large chest in comparison. I sent the measurements and payment but then didn't hear anything from them for nearly a month. Upon contacting them they apologised and said their machine had broken down and I would receive the harness within the week. I really think that when the machine broke down they should have contacted their customers still awaiting harnesses and explained the delay.
Then the harness didn't arrive within the week.
However, we finally received it and upon opening it I was immediately very disappointed. It is heavy, it weighs 3x as much as her previous harness but is basically the same size. It's covered in metal buckles and lots of very long straps even though I gave them specific measurements. I know this gives me lots of adjustment but I don't need that as she is fully grown. I had to adjust the metal buckles so they didn't rub on the underside of her front legs where they meet the body. She can't roll in the grass with it on as the buckles get in the way. She doesn't chase her sister as much because, we think, the harness is too heavy.
We did like the plastic clips as they weren't as tiny as on her previous harness so are easier to unclip and clip up. We did like the hoops for her lead which are sturdy and look like they'll last. It is well made and good value for the money just much too bulky for such a delicately built dog.
