Dogworks Varsity Leather Harness - adjustable siwash-style harness made from English bridle leather with non-removable sheepskin padded yoke and chest strap
http://dogworks.com/store/harness.html
Description from website:
"For giant breeds in Draft Work and Tracking. Heirloom craftsmanship and multi-dog/vehicle adjustability could make this the only harness you'll ever want! Many of our customers own a different harness for every dog. Here is a harness that might fit all of your dogs of the same breed! Plus it transforms into a non-restrictive tracking harness in a snap. It's a whole new cross-trainer that combines the best features from pulling and tracking harnesses into a gorgeous leather tool that may be the only harness you will ever need. Use it for carting, tracking & sledding (includes black nylon single tree "Sled Adapter" for sledding or vehicles with a single point of pull.) It will adjust all over to fit multiple dogs, carts, wagons, sleds, sleighs, and antique vehicles.
FITS multiple dogs: Each harness fits six one inch neck increments. The breastplate, body length and girth all adjust accordingly.
FITS multiple vehicles: Raise the point of pull for carts, lower it for sleds and small wagons. The height & reach of Shaft Tugs (shaft loops) will accommodate most shaft variations. The traces are adjustable in length & height (point of pull.)
Sizing (approximate) EXTRA LARGE fits sizes 28 to 36 (dogs weighing about 110 & up)
This harness has never been used for carting. I tried it on two of my Newfs, sized it for them, but never actually carted with the harness. It includes the original girth strap with "belt-style" shaft loops (lower left of photo) AND "new more versatile girth design" (lower center of photo) which claims to "fit dogs & vehicles better".
There are a few spots that have a residue. I think it may come off with proper cleaning.
There are also a few spots that are marked from the "tongue" of buckle sliding against the leather.
New harness retails for $279.
Asking $100 PLUS shipping
Payment via PayPal... please and thank you.
