Was i slightly insane letting my dog pick her own harness color? Yes. (we did "shake" like 20 times for confirmation, and 99% she agreed on pink), but she picked this pink one. when it arrived, it was like she knew it was her princess harness. lol, she was a good girl, and let me adjust it sitting perfectly still. we met best friend (my eldest human child) getting home from school to show off. and she did. she is very happy with her new harness. i am also happy with it. i know shoddy fabric construction when i see it (I've been sewing for 25 years). this thing is sewn beautifully. extra thick double stitching on the metal rings. QUALITY metal in the rings. A LOCK ON THE TOP NECK PART OF THE HARNESS TOO!! I can really pick her big wolf self up by that handle, too, and no weird cruching or popping noises. the leash is sort of iffy because the wrist part is held together with this plastic clip style thing, and the reflective stipes kind of cut up my hand a little when grabbing it because someone had their dogs off leash. I'm the kind of person standing 10 toes down, willing to serve time over my dog. My dog is the most perfect well-behaved angel. she is as important to me as my human children. despite being iffy about the leash, i am currently 100% about this harness. will update if anything changes. (photos: she's so excited she won't even sit still so i can get a picture, lol)
