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.

    Does your Tri Basenji like the sun or avoid laying in direct sunlight?

    Shaye loves the sun - will lie out in the heat for as long as she can get it. Gemma, being a basenji/sheltie mix and furrier, lies on the cool tiles on the porch, and when the sun hits her, she heads for the A/C. At the beach, Shaye lies in the hot sand in the sun until I get her into the shade, and because she is also a heat seeking thing, wants to be totally under covers to sleep at night. Stands to reason the tris and b/w's would absorb more heat and not prefer it as much as the r/w's do.

    Could she be a basenji?

    @Thana: she does have basenji characteristics then apart from her colours and looks.- i also think she must have some basenji blood! She is lovely and lucky no matter what! adorable little face:))))) Having read about the characteristics I think she does. The lady with the basenji that we met also commented on some of the things she was doing as "very basenji" (eg. standing on her back legs so she could see what was going on). Has a lovely wrinkly forehead too. Got very frustrated with me earlier and did her funny bark, more of a wierd howl really. She is def one of a kind. Its a shame we have to have her spayed (not that I could ever justify letting her have a litter).

    I would defintely recommend martingale collars, specifically the Lupine brand ones..they are fairly inexpensive and have a 100% guarantee, meaning if your dogs eats/chews or in any way breaks it they will replace, no questions asked..we have used that policy once, when Otis decided to eat his….. As far as food..I have used Blue Buffalo, and like it lots, especially since it is easier to find. I also like EVO, Canidae and The Honest Kitchen..My dogs are on RAW so we use the Honest Kitchen or Sojos for mix ins, even when they were puppies. Good luck and how exciting..did you mention where you got her? A lot of our dogs are related so it is always fun to know.

    @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 :)
