Custom Weight Pull Harnesses

Custom made weight pulling harnesses are custom made to fit your
dog based on the measurements you provide and to your
specifications in design, fabric, and color.  I can also customize your
harness in regards to the placement of the spreader bar, the length of
the spreader bar,  the length of the harness (longer or shorter), and
any other "tweaking" of the harness to truely make it a customized
harness.

The harness is made of 2" wide webbing through out the harness.  It is
padded with polar fleece from the breast plate to spreader bar, the  
breast, and around the neck.  The spreader bar is made from 1" oak
and taped.  A 2" welded stainless steel D ring is used for the hookup
point.  You can pick from a large assortment of colors for the webbing
and fleece.

               Neoprene vs. Taped Foam Padding
I highly recommend the neoprene padding vs. the taped foam padding
around the neck.  The neoprene is 1/4" flat rubber that is sandwiched
between the webbing and the fleece around the neck.  It is soft and
pliable, and will conform to the dog's neck unlike the taped foam which
is hard and stiff.   Think about it, if you had to carry a heavy weight,
which would you want?   I use the neoprene on all my competition
dogs' harnesses.

Example of accent striping.  This one
is of Fiesta Chili peppers.
The accent striping is fabric or ribbon
that is sewn onto the webbing of the
harness.  It is done through out the
harness.  Unlike other harness
makers, you are not limited to a small
selection of fabrics.  Give me an idea
of what you would like, and I will search
for that perfect fabric.  If you already  
have that perfect fabric, I will build the
harness around that fabric.
Base price for a custom harness for dogs that fit into a size small
or less and made out of 1 1/2" wide webbing would be $48
Examples of embroidery.

black fleece

Webbing colors are: Red, Kelly green, yellow, Turquoise, brown,
royal blue, silver/gray, beige, burgundy, olive green, purple, black,
white, navy blue and forest green.

The fleece padding can be done in any solid color.

I can do your harness in a solid color or a combination of colors.  I do
not charge extra for colors.
To really make your harness unique, for an additional fee I can add
special details to your harness from the options below

At this time I am not accepting credit cards.


Your harness is handmade to your specifications, so time is needed to
ensure the quality of your order.    Shipping times will vary upon how many
orders are before yours.  When placing your order, I will give you an
expected shipping date.  This will be the date that the harness is shipped
out.  It will not be the delivery date.  I ship using priority mail so the delivery
date is about 2-3 days (according the post office).

Harnesses with embroidery will take at least 2 weeks, sometimes longer
because I send the embroidery out to be done.

**Please keep shipping times in mind when placing your order for a show.*****
