Leather Dog Harness and other things

[Dreadhead]

Our wee Maggie asked for a new harness for yule, so I decided to make her a new one as an early present. It is thick vegetable tanned cowhide with soft sealskin straps, all fitted with sturdy copper rivets and hand-stitched with sinew, and wet-formed pockets so she can carry her own jobby bags and pocket money. I hope you like it as much as she does

I also finished these bracers this week, for a member of this forum

And made a new sheath for my driftwoodwalker necker. There was nothing wrong with the sheath supplied, I just prefer making my own. This one has a horizontal carry belt slip or can be worn as a neck sheath.

Well now, ain't Maggie the lucky dog, eh? She's looking great in her new kit mate.........Did you make a Spaniel-sized one as well?

 

[vizsla]

Awsome mate she's a great looking dog, what's she keeping in her two little saddle bags, I presume a small knife and a fire steel! Well done chap great to see a new idea

Superb work on the harness - that is unreal. You really need to get that kind of thing in a posh London shop. It would sell for a fortune.

I've been trying to get him down to the Sloane Square meet.

Awesome works as always mate,

Nice work Hamish. The harness, has what looks to be a "handle" on it, is this for lifting the dog ?. When I was a handler, I worked mine on a harness(nothing as posh as yours !), but I also carried a specific lifting harness for when I needed the spaniel to work at heights we had to climb up to, its something in my opinion that should be on a harness.

Stunning stuff Hamish, saw it on FB and thought - you'll be inundated with offers for that. Maggie looks chuffed to have her harness on. Snoop my mutt wasn't sure of a harness and panier system at first but loved it as he knew we were heading off for a long trip when it came out. Carried his food, blanket, towel, colapsable bowls and bottle of bubbles (he loved bubbles) in his bags.
Though must say I'm sure he'd rather have had your set on, he had taste that dog.

Great stuff Hamish - do one with molle on it to suit the tacticool brigade - they can then add as many pouches to their pooches as they like! Don't let small children confuse it for a saddle tho'

 

[greensurfingbear]

Think we must share some kind of mind meld or something. I was only talking to a friend the other day about making a harness with pouches on!

That's a beaut though mate

Thanks! Aye a handle is a must for us, as she is a rescue dog and has trouble with small children, or on occasion has been attacked by other dogs in urban areas. We like to have a handle so we can lift her up out of any naughty business for the safety of others and her own

haha love it! Maggie has a thing about chasing balloons, must put some in her pockets along with her pocket money

if i could only bring myself to work with the stuff! it would look cool as a tactical dog. We did have a molle-type one for her which was for service dogs. I called it her stab-vest
