Front Range Ruffwear Harness

So, I'm revamping my crew's harnesses for space and simplicity. Those of you who are friends with me on Facebook know I recently got brave enough to take both Harlow and Rider biking together. They did phenomenal and actually paced really well together, so I think I'm going to start joring them paired more often. When going solo, Harlow pulls the bike. Joring them together they more trotted alongside, which I'm completely fine with.

Harlow has a harness from Canadog which fits awkwardly due to her deep chest. I've tried it over the summer and though I like how it is made, there is just too much room in the front and it doesn't always properly disperse and pull where it should.

Thus, back in the market! I've been very drawn to the Ruffwear Front Range. http://dogblog.ruffwear.net/2014/07/29/new-products-explored-the-front-range-dog-harness/



This will also be used for running with me as well as hikes, ect. I guess my main question is, "Do you think this is a good fit for a biking situation where they may possibly eventually pull a little?"

I am back after a more trying hike with both harnesses.

I do recommend them for biking, even if there is some pulling involved. I had Bloo dig in and pull me HARD (while walking, I don't have a bike atm), and I felt it distributed the pressure really well. I would be comfortable using it for that purpose.

It's really badass for hiking.

I wonder how this would work on the magical 3-legged beast. The Webmaster works well but the belly strap gets peed on so I only use it when we're going out in public (like the monuments or hiking) so I can pick him up with it quickly.

It is my understanding that it is based very closely off the Webmaster for use as a more everyday harness, thus lacking the second belly strap. I would assume it would work well for what you wanted.

Em and Copper were medium, Bloo was small. Shadow will also be medium. I would think Watson would be a medium, since he has a deeper ribcage than Bloo... you can try both of mine out if you want!

Brisbane wears a medium in almost everything, but mostly a small in Ruffwear stuff. I like that they classify my 40-pound dog as small, though this means their stuff doesn't usually fit my tiny rodent. I use a YapWrap harness when my chihuahua needs a handle.

Well, my mom measured him and got the exact same thing I did, 25", so I guess he's a small (22-27"). I might still order both just in case.

ETA: I just went with the medium, despite his measurements. We'll see. Some of the reviews mentioned being at the top end of a size and having to order up.

Really Watson is only 25"? I'm going to have to remeasure Hudson, because I would have sworn he was 27" and I don't think Hudson is any bigger than Watson
