Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

So when I go run with my husky I tend to take my husky's leash on one hand and a water bottle on the other. I'm just trying to see if thee are any harnesses out there that are cheap and can take atleast two water bottles. I've seen ones but they cost like a hundred dollars and that seems excesive to me. Any suggestions?

My harness does not have any pockets, So I do not have any suggestions on a brand, But, I would say be very wary on going cheap, They do tend to rip apart or turn upside down on the cheap ones. Remember most the time you get what you pay for. (And expensive ones can be just as bad) I suggest looking up a ton of reviews on each one you are looking at, Get first hand experience from those who have used that exact one, Will better your odds.

I know of lots of owners who use the Kyjin brand and have no problems with it. I haven't used one, but that is where I will be getting mine.

I know a few people that have the Outward Hound one and haven't been very pleased with it.

If you're just going to use it for walks/runs then it'll probably be fine, but I don't think it stands up well on longer hiking trips for very long.

While you might dish out more in the beginning for a different one, it might be worth it in the long run.

Definitely read lots of reviews to get an idea of what people use them for and how well they hold up. Lots of people here are very fond of Ruffwear!

Yeah, the people I know who use them don't do heavy hiking; if that was your intent then definitely no LOL.

I plan to start cheap, get my pups used to them, and then move up in the world of backpacks.

What about a "Camel back" pack for you to wear? I use one for cross-country/skijoring and hardly know I have it on. More than enough water for you and your partner plus the pack lets you carry a soft bowl, poo bags, cell phone, and snacks for both of you (like maybe some yummy goo gel). The bladders are replaceable should they need replacing and the packs are well made.

You should also check out some trade shows and pet shows - there might be ones there on special. Smile That's where we got our first backpack for Stark. Smile

well this harness that I'm talking about used to cost 40-50 dollars and I found one for 20 dollars so it might not be as cheap as I thought

The problem with the Camel Back pack is that where I live it is very dangerous and they can just pull it off of me when i'm tired. As for the dog, they might be afraid that he's gonna bite them

im not sure i would run your husky with weight on its back.... a good Xback harness for the dog to run in and a lumbar back for your self to hold the water would be good
