That is awesome!!!

I'm next in line...must post pics of man's best friend in full attire!

And, what size is the dog...in lbs? Do you have a pattern for it to share?

I have a 15lb JRT, but I've never had luck with harness. They rub between the legs and chest and make them raw.

Probably my fault for wrong sizing or not adjusted properly.

My Tasha is a special kinda buddy to me, I'd like to make something special for her.

You can see that the chest on your dog compared to most other dogs is incredibly narrow, in your dog's case I would treat it more like you would a breast collar for a horse, in that you have the wide chest plate but have a d-ring in the center of it and a narrow strap that goes between the front legs, instead of a wider solid piece.  Could even make it a leather braided cord with a snap on the end instead of a flat strap.

And one more...on her maiden walk with the new harness.   And the harness cured her pulling!   Cured my dog's pulling as well.

 

  It's the strangest thing, you would think that a harness would encourage pulling, but instead it discourages it.   It's counter intuitive I'll admit, but it was explained to me that the pressure a harness exerts on the chest feels like pushing to the dog, and they don't like to push.  Hence, no pulling.   Now how those Huskies overcome that...? Beats me.  Different sort of harness?   Breed specific thing?  I dunnno, just know that it worked for me and my friend.

Absolutely wonderful work.  I make dog harnesses too but that is another level, and it fits so well too.  Those photos of the new owner modeling it are great.  He looks so proud of his new clothes.
