"Bought this for new Miniature American Shepherd puppy and it fits perfectly. The color is very nice and bright and it should fit her as she grows. We like the lightness of the harness for our smaller dogs and we’ve had one for our other dog for over five years and it’s still together with no rip..."
"Doesn't fit. I wish harness' included more measurements - like back and chest plate, so you can ensure proper fit for your dogs anatomy. Other than that it's very light weight and doesn't seem very strong. The buckles and straps are much smaller than id anticipate for a dog here size. "
