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.

My measuring skills need some improvement. It is a little big, unless it is suppose to fit lose when not pulling something... Nanook is less then thrilled with it LOL
I think it is just a little too long but he could grow into it if he grows more. It should be loose when they're not pulling and snug to the body when they pull. This is what Kay's looks like when she's not pulling and pulling.
I think Nanook's is too long personally. You want the sides bottom pieces of fabric to be against his ribs, not the soft part after his ribs end. It seems to me when you pull it, its going to be pulling on that soft part behind his ribs and digging in, which you don't want. Kay's looks perfect, loose when not pulling, base of tail when pulling.

Anya's harness came in today! I'm not sure if it fits her right. It seems perfectly tight around the neck, but really lose in the rib cage area. I'm expecting her to fill out there since she is still such a skinny minnie. What do you guys think?
Personally I think judging from the pictures it fits fine, looks a lot like Kay's

Excuse Sahara, she wanted to play. I am not sure if Nanook's is past his ribs or not. I agree it does sort of look like it is past his rib and will dig in. Anna's is on her ribs thankfully, I got the measuring right the second try.

I think it is a little long as well. Hopefully being a week shy of 11 months old he still has a little growing to do. If not....heck I only wasted $10 :-) and I am a little more skilled in what to look for ....lesson learned :-)

Seriously struggling with the whole picture posting idea. Too much time doing computer related things today, guys.
I'll try to post better/larger ones later, but that should give you a good idea of what it looks like! I got D-rings added to both sides and it's the adjustable one. I'm really, really happy with it. My parents bought it for me for Christmas, so now it goes under the tree (covered in husky hair). Hate that I have to wait to get it, but really excited to really use it!

Woo-hoo! What a bargain! Dang that you have to wait, I'd be impatient!! But glad it fits, Pippa looks sharp in it

Megan, I got my noodle in a few days ago. I don't understand the instructions though. Ugh lol. It came with this white string stuffed through a gray square piece. o.o
Do I have to have a single gangline? I only have my x-back and an 18 inch bungee.
Edit: Just checked, I need a line. Dagnabit. Now I'll have to buy it and pay for shipping again. lol

So I tried measuring Mishka and this just confuses me.
He has a 21" neck, 20" LR, and like a 10" measurement from his last rib to his tail base...
None of that seems right. Lol.

I just measured mt dogs, fingers crossed that I got it right. I re measured probably five times, the girls were so done with me! But can't beat $20 for a custom harness!

She's also 21 inches tall at the shoulders. Did you measure it according to their website? I had to measure 3 times to make sure it was right lol. I think you only measure 1/2 of the neck and then double it.
I looked on youtube for a video. The confusing part for me was the last rib measurement. I didn't exactly know where to measure her from the chest. And it took me a while to find her rib. lol

Just got a harness in for Sophie, it fits pretty good doesn't look like it does in the pictures but i took her out on a run and saw how it fit.
Her measurements are neck 18, length 9, last rib 17. She's 40lbs also 24 inches tall but only 22 inches long.
When i took her out for a run.

Lol ask Abby, it took me 20 minutes to assemble it. I'm bad at instructions though. You can always make your own line with some polyethylene rope and a bungee
