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.

    @melduff I for one think this is FANTASTIC news! You guys are so lucky! You have a one of kind super dog with the papers to prove it. Walks around the neighborhood and trips to the dog park are going to be very much fun... Friendly neighbor: Oh, she's so cute! What kind of dog is she? You: Thanks you so much. Why, she's a Staffy Chow Lab Rott Russell Husky. (Ya haff ta memorize that) :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: :thumbs_up: Thanks a bunch for letting us know. Very much enjoyed your thread.

    @weedtrek Possibly Basenji mix, nose looks a bit wider and the eyes are less oval. Could well be a Basenji mix though.

    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.

    Oh Barklessdog, you are a brave person. I must now stand with you in insane-solidarity and admit I bought it too. It is awful but when you get the line "we couldn't say goodbye so we took him home" part, you know you got to help support the woman. lol
