Ruff Wear Basenji Harness… tried it??

Basenji Talk
  • S

    I've been searching for a good harness for my basenji Decker for bike rides(and as a carseat restraint)…... seems much more wise to bike ride with a harness then a collar. I think I've found my harness which is the ruff wear webmaster harness (www.ruffwear.com)). I like how the weight is distributed if lifting is needed but also for seatbelt purposes. However I never like to "jump the gun" so I wanted to get some opinions from everyone before I purchased it…. but mainly if anyone has tried this ruff wear webmaster harness for their basenji???.:confused:

    Update:
    AFTER WAITING FOR RUFF WEAR'S NEW 2008 RELEASE OF THEIR WEBMASTER HARNESS I FINALLY HAVE IT….. CHECK IT OUT BELOW.
    This has to be the best harness on the market. If you have any questions.... please dont be shy and ask.

    I love it! I actually use their packs but the webmaster harness is the base for the packs. My boxer does have the straight harness as well as the pack. Tiggy (my basenji) did great in this harness and the handle is a great added benefit. I find also that my dogs are more comfortable in this harness than any other when worn for even all day

    Thanks for the feedback….. I got a reply from the company about an hour ago telling me that they are coming out with a redesigned/re-engineered webmaster harness on April 01. Keep an eye out for it incase you feel like upgrading. I'm sure/hope it'll perform just as good if not better.

    Do they really not ship outside of the states? I'm kinda interested in several items, but I'm in Canada…
    and there's nothing on ebay!

    If you click on their store finder, and then click on the map, the new window that opens has a tab for stores in canada that sells ruff wear products.

    And here's the link for online sales http://www.gear4dogs.com/

    The harness has all ready proved itself far and beyond my expectations.

    Thanks for that site, I may order the cooling jacket for my black basenji, he gets really hot and that might let us walk all of them in the summer(before dark). Your harness looks really great.

    Last I heard, the Breed Club secretaries had more people waiting or wanting pups than were available . You could get on a list for a Basenji next winter but I very much doubt you will find one still unsold. Go to the website of the BCGB, or the Northern Basenji Society as you are in the North and you will find email addresses of the secretaries. They will put you in touch with breeders who may be planning a litter for puppies to become ready to leave the nest in about a year's time. Its a long wait I know, but you have most probably missed the boat for now. You are welcome to post me privately. Good luck!

    I read your blog and find it kind of confusing and ….. your comment about "messing with ..." hmmmmmmm.... Anyhow, yes, it is so cool when you come across another basenji, because they totally understand each other and how they want to play. We were fortunate once to have another basenji play chase with Kipawa at a dog park. I just don't think there are many basenjis in the Lower Mainland. :(

    Oh Barklessdog, you are a brave person. I must now stand with you in insane-solidarity and admit I bought it too. It is awful but when you get the line "we couldn't say goodbye so we took him home" part, you know you got to help support the woman. lol

    lol usually when you breed a bigger dog to a smaller dog the Male is the tiny one. Its just dangerous to do it the other way around. As far as DNA breed testing I would go for it if I could. But i am just interested in those kinds of tests. We offer them at our clinic but i haven't ever seen results for them.

    rockinmommy-we got fleece lined collars at ALL HOUNDS. I like their policy. If your dog chews up his collar they replace it for free :D Check it out! http://www.allhoundsapparel.com And the lady majestic martingale collars uses satin to line her collars…aahh soft :) http://www.majesticcollars.com Good luck!
