Details
A working dog need a different type of harness to our fleece walking range. This includes dogs used for Sledding, Cani X, Scootering, Bikejoring, Skijoring, Weight Pulling and Tracking. Thes dog need to be able to pull into the harness rather than the ability to loose lead walk at heel. For this reason these harnesses sit further back on the dog allowing it to pull.
The most popular working harness is the X-Back which was invented in 1953 in Montana and has become the recognised standard for sled dogs around the world. Whether you are training a husky or malamute to pull a rig of sled for fun or you have aspiration of winning the Iditarod or the Yukon Quest these harnesses are for you. These harnesses have been copied, but never bettered and now available to mushers and enthusiasts in the UK.
The standard construction consists of black webbing, neck and chest padding made of polarplus (polartec 300.Padding colour is coded according to size. The harnesses can be customised any way you wish. Order by standard size or send us your dog's measurements by downloading the sizing chart above. Please be aware that these harnesses are hand-made in Montana and the custom sizes will be made especially for you, so please allow 2-3 weeks for delivery. Customs sizes are non-returnable.
These harnesses have been featured in the new movie Call of the Wild 3D, starring Christopher Lloyd, along with Eight Below, Iron Will and the New Scooby Doo film.
