[nagdu] Harnesses Re: Introduction

I'm not sure exactly what you are asking.  The color of the harness should 
have no bearing on how the public views a blind indevidual and his guide. 
My wife and I both use our nylon harnesses, and so do many others who have 
purchased them from us, and never have I heard that there was an issue 
because of the color or style of the harness.

Best wishes from the Pawpower pack!
