[nagdu] GDB Swiss Harness Sizes?

[Pickrell, Rebecca M (TASC)]

Tami, 
It's like an Amaerican harness, just with way more holes in it. Sorry, guys, couldn't resist.

Okay, I have to ask.  What is a Swiss harness?  How does it differ from
other types, like the American or British styles?

Hi,

I have used the Swiss harness with two dogs.  I would suggest asking about
the need for a larger size if you feel it necessary.  You know your dog
best, but it pays to seek advice.

    Is there anyone on the list who received a dog from GDB soon after July
2007?  If so, did you find that your dog grew enough to get a larger
harness?  I received Lexia in July 2007, and she has filled out quite a bit,
particularly in the chest.  Consequently, it seems that the strap that goes
underneath rides farther forward than it did when I first received her.  I
am trying to decide if it is just the way that the Swiss harnesses work or
if I need to talk to a rep about seeing if she needs the next size up in
harness.  Any thoughts?
