Here is a pic of the agitation/conditioning/transportation harness I designed. You can put it on the dog and go from: protection, to tire work, to sledding, skijoring, bikejoring or canicross. All w/o changing equipment. The only activity you would need to change harness for is weight pulling.  |

The broken link is "http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v379/m_baldassarre/pups21days013.jpg". Doesn't look like a harness picture link.  |

It looks as though it will provide a nice distribution of the pressure from weight being pulled or applied. Laura |

Curt, I am a registered member. I just hate signing in! Here is the ladder clip: www.geocities.com/glinnbulls/ladderclimb.mpgYes, the cost for that harness is $50.00 shipped. It's custom made to fit. Despite it's versatility it does not encumber the dog in ANY way. With the floating girth, a dog could even sleep in it- in total comfort. It's also great to put under a dog backpack to limit shifting of the pack. There is a d ring at the harness collar so you can clip the dog's choke to it during tie-out work. Not only is the harness very hard to slip, this added safety feature is great. The same d ring can be used to couple a fan hitched team together, in place of using a collar on each dog. The d ring at the top of the floating girth is for skijoring/agitation. The rear loop is for sledding/tire-work etc. It kicks ass, mainly cause I invented it! Mark |

It does indeed distribute the pressure well. The nice thing about it is; you can teach direction to the dog by clipping to the top D-ring. Because the girth strap is there @ the front of the dog, you can direct him.

You can do a harness for the French but I'd recommend a harness w/ no hardware on it because of the dog's size. A freight harness would be the best. Contact IKON outfitters or any of the harness makers and give them the dimensions.
For a dog that small, I like the idea of a spreader bar as opposed to an x-back type harness.
As for the Rats, you have the bigger ones, right? If your going to do weight pull, go with the same {freight} harness as the French. If you want to do conditioning, skijoring, bikejoring etc.- go with mine. How big are the Rats?

to mention- the harness is also great for tracking.
