    Another new harness

    So, if you saw my other thread last week, the nicest woman in the world made Zoe a yellow harness to check sizing.  Now, in less than a week, she made her a lavender one with ribbon and a bandanna.  She is doing all this free and I am sooooooo thankful!  I think she is making her a 4th of July one too... without me even asking :).  Some people are so nice!  (These would cost $40 or more each from the company that sells them).

    Is she making these from a pattern?  Is she starting her own business?  The harness is so cute!  Pretty girl Zoe!

    She is making them from a pattern but she keeps altering trying to fit Zoe perfectly.  These are similar to hugadox harnesses.  She is not doing them for business.  I offered to pay or get her a doggie house but she said the fact that I like them is enough!  Zoe likes them too!  I think I will be getting another soon!  The first one was a bit small and this one a bit big.  I think my mini and her mini are actually the same size, and they look almost identical but hers is a boy and lives in Florida :).

    A model... awww how cute would that be!  Some of the people on the dachshund board I go on model for the hugadox company I think hehe.

    Stacey, I love that Zoe is too cute. I am wondering  I have tried like 75 million different harnesses on Trixie the problem is her legs are long her hair is long now and growing in kinky and curly so it gets caught in everything I put on her. She is  a high stepper, I don' t know what that's about, do you think this type would work on her, I really need help.

    Thanks for the compliments!
     
    I am tempted to say I think this might work for Trixie.  I am no expert but my theory is... dachshunds normally (all but Zoe) have short legs and these stay on.  So it is similar to lifting legs high and thus making a "short" leg that could fall out of a harness.  These are made of fabric so except for velcro, there is nothing really to snag the hair.  The official web site for them is [linkhttp://www.hug-a-dog.com/hugadog.htm]http://www.hug-a-dog.com/hugadog.htm[/link] and this company [linkhttp://www.weenieinthewindow.com/]Www.WeenieintheWindow.com[/link] makes similar ones too, but I think cheaper.  You can use any fabric.  Also, some people on the dachshund board use puppia harnesses which are somewhat similar.  If you sew, I can ask for the pattern for Zoe's.  From what I am gathering, it is hard to fit it exactly, but even a bit big or small it works.  Zoe's so far are too small (yellow one) and too big (lavender one).  The lady is making another now.  (Again may I say she is the nicest person ever!!!)  However, she has walked nicely in both.  They are not great for pulling but she does fne on a looseleash with them. 
     
    This harness velcroes and clips in the front, and velcros under the belly.  There is a D ring on the back.
