Hi Shane
Have a look at the Julius K9 Powerharness have heard good things about it.
Also we don't do Tracking instead Lowland Dog train in Groundscenting.

We use:

i have been looking at this harness

If I was looking for a good quality harness tracking, I would use this site:- http://www.karenswood.co.uk/htm_site/ca ... sses_2.htm

They have supplied equipment to the working trials fraternity for many years.

It depends what type of Groundscenting you like to do. If you thinking of trailing it is important that the dog is able to move the shoulders freely and that the harness has a chest plate, to support a fast and strong scent follower. I hope this helps.

Julius K9 have a very big stand at Discover Dogs this weekend. (if that's of interest)

i ended up buying the ruffwear harness

We use canine out fitterhttp://www.canineoutfitters.com/ who happily supply the UK from Canada, have fitted out 3 adult and 1 puppy searh dogs with their tracking harnesses.
