Members shockme2 Posted March 9, 2009 Members Report Posted March 9, 2009 Hello, I'm wondering which type of leather I should use for a Dog Harness? It will be used as a tracking harness. Quote
Ambassador Luke Hatley Posted March 9, 2009 Ambassador Report Posted March 9, 2009 I would use veg tan and treat it with your favorite oil........neatsfoot. montana pitch blend. dr. jacksons, skidmores, little oil will keep the wetness out...... Quote
Members Randy Cornelius Posted March 9, 2009 Members Report Posted March 9, 2009 My first choise would be english bridle, it has wax added but not as much as Harness leather. I build Law Enforcement K-9 tracking harnesses that really get a work out and the english bridle holds up well and is somewhat water resistant, something you might want to consider when making dog equipment.

Ian Posted March 10, 2009 Report Posted March 10, 2009 I'd go with bridle leather too, for the durablity and the drum dying process that makes the color more stable. Quote
