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.

    Looks can be so deceiving- here is an article of a woman who adopted a rescue dog in N.J. Dog looks like a basenji - even her vet thought it might be basenji. She did an Embark DNA test - no basenji. Turned out the dog was a mixture of Mountain Cur, Rat Terrier, Beagle, and Boston Terrier. link text

    There's nothing like a basenji in the works, from the way they instinctively lay with their had on the bum looking the other way ( I've never met a B that doesn't) to the way you KNOW they all rub on wet towels or play bow…it's all very endearing and in this breed you often identify traits that they all have, an insight into their genetics and their behaviors. I've never enjoyed a breed so much.

    @Quercus: I am thinking the blue in the eyes is the reflection, not the color. Blue dobes have brown eyes, just like black ones. Idk if that only works in dogs. but rabbits if its a blue color they must have the blue eyes or its a DQ. Omgoodness that is a beautiful color! A little on the light side but it is just a puppy and gorgeous none the less. I wonder if you can get new colors passed in dogs like in rabbits. Trust me its a difficult process but its so rewarding to see all the beautiful colors. Chocolate has always been a favorite of mine :)

    I have found that if I take my B to doggie daycare (even if it's only for half a day), she is ehausted when I bring her home. She will let me do the dishes without any basenji help! She also tends to treat our doggie friends a little nicer when they come around. Having a worn out basenji is deifinitely worth the $15!!
