Val (Zebedee) Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 OK, maybe not a horse, but for Diesel! He is rapidly growing out of his XL size harness & I am struggling to find an XXL anywhere. I need one that would fit a mal or St Bernard type dog as his chest is now too big for the 28" to 38" size recommended for a rottie / mastiff / newfoundland. I would also like a more 'substantial' looking one as the harness we use is the normal webbing type, but looks to thin on him, not that he's ever snapped one or anything (more cosmetic & vanity on my part, really!! ) If you have any ideas, I would appreciate them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Not sure if you've seen the blue ezy dog ones my boys have? They go up to a XL which I know you say is pushing it a bit now for the big fella but they do extend a fair bit - have a look at the sizing guide here - may help? http://www.ezydoguk.co.uk/index.php?main_page=page&id=10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val (Zebedee) Posted January 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 their XL looks to be bigger than the size I have currently (700 - 950 mm), theirs is XL 77 + 482 - 813 584 - 1016 Golden Retriever, Saluki, Alsation although he's bigger than a GSD or retriever ... (104 lbs at the last weigh-in) - that seems to give me about another 2 - 2.5 inches around his girth .... are ezydog only an online product or are there any stores that sell them to try one on (as I know no-one else has a horse for a husky!! ) ? Thanks for the link, tho', Saz, worth looking into for him (+1) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocspirit Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Why not order from a site like www.alpineoutfitters.com who will custom make a harness that fits him perfectly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelharou Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Not sure that is the correct url as it is for : Bear Hunts, Whitetail Deer Hunts, Elk Hunts, Wolf Hunts and Ground Squirrel/Gopher Hunts with Alpine Outfitters, Alberta Hunting Guides & Outfitters Not always on theme with dog lovers, expect for fans of gun dogs I think it was supposed to be: www.alpineoutfitters.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right! Sorry I did it in a hurry, I should have double-checked first! Off of www.sleddogcentral.com I also found these UK distributors of harnesses (bear in mind though I have never dealt with them so know nothing about their quality) http://www.culpeppers.co.uk/ http://www.cudosrigs.co.uk/NewEquipment/equipment.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahNukka&Shadow Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Ask Karley (Huskamute help) to make you one... she made me one for Nukka and its really lovely and very sturdy and you get to pick your own colours and stuff also shes not very expensive at all to say its all hand made to your request! Plus I know she has huskamutes of her own that will be bigger than your average husky boy and she uses her own harnesses so I bet she'd have no trouble making one to fit Big D!

valkyries Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 val i have the ezydog large for Odin an i still have a lil room to extend so i think maybe the XL will fit D but if you buy and it does not fit i will buy off you so you dont loose out, as i have to get a new one for Thor i got him the M but it's a lil tight xxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val (Zebedee) Posted January 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 thanks for the links, everyone, added to rep, will have a mooch through them & see what's out there ... I much prefer recommendations after experience with something like this, I need to know it won't unravel or anything when he decides to pull after a squirrel or something! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocspirit Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 I just realized you are after a walking harness and not a pulling harness Oops! In that case nevermind the other two sites I posted but Alpine Outfitters does have what they call an "Urban Trail Harness" that would suit what you want. The others are designed for pulling hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val (Zebedee) Posted January 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 thanks, Ren, no, I deffo don't need a pulling harness for Diesel, unless we have more snow & need the car dragging out again!! it was a normal walking harness I was after, I should have made that clear, sorry! but thanks for the info, thought I'd have to get in touch with Chester Zoo for an elephant harness or something!! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 LMFAO!! There are 2 members off the top of my head here that custom make them, there's also culpeppers as well - they are really helpful - speak to Phil he's lovely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
