A harness to fit my Wolfhound

ARGH!!!!! I have just received my 5th harness from the internet for Albie, and yet again it doesnt fit!!!
He needs a padded one, with a long adjustable centre bit, as he is deep chested, but when I get a large one to accomodate this, the neck and tummy bits just won't go tight enough.
I have tried the Trixie harness, but that is too wide in the centre bit, so he can't walk properly.
Apart from spending a fortune to get one made from one company I saw on the internet, I'm at a loss!!
Does anyone have any ideas or even a second hand one for sale?
Thank you

I got one for my wolfhound x retriever from my local market but these are them http://www.snugglepets.co.uk/index.p...ex&cPath=19_20

Bailey has a size 5 it's quite a decent fleece with webbing on top. It goes over his head then tightens underneath. Fits brilliantly He's not quite as tall as a full wolfhound but is built like one 34' to the shoulder. It has a ring on top for a lead as well as the one at the front

Hi

My dog has one of these Perfect Fit harnesses from: http://dog-games-shop.co.uk/perfect-...s/40mm-harness



They really are the perfect fit so you should be able to get the exact right size for your Wolfhound.

Their delivery is also very quick and their customer service is great too.

If you are on FB look up Monkey Dog Wear.
PJ can make any harness or collar to your specs, from any webbing, clips, colours you want. On some of her items part of the price goes to rescue.

I had Max's made to measure from these people:

http://www.culpeppers.co.uk/catalogu...&cat=harnesses

He has the walking harness which isn't padded but they do several others, including a padded one, they are very helpful too, if you rang and explained exactly what you wanted I bet they would be able to do it for you.

We must have had Max's for five years now and it is still going strong.

Hehe, I was just going to suggest this option

She makes my double ended, double handled training leads, so she's up for challenges lol.
