Tell me about your mastiff's harness please

So, hubby and I have decided we need a harness for Apollo, specifically one with a handle on the back.....the short version of the story is we went to my inlaws yesterday and Apollo flipped a switch and turned into a NUTCASE GOOFBALL. The extra handle would have been handy....

So, harnesses in mastiff sizes are of course hard to find. I've run across a few here and there, but if you use one please tell me about yours!

or leather would be fine, I'm just looking for feedback on mastiff sized harnesses, preferably ones with a handle on the back.

I have harnesses for my dogs that have a nylon handle on the back. It might hurt your hand, but it's there. It's a comfort flex sport harness and comes in all sizes

If you liked it and can remember which one it was please post it, with my luck it won't come big enough, but I can hope right?

I have this one. https://mekuti.co.uk/harness_shop.htm I absolutely love it! It doesn't have a handle on the back but it has a two latch/one piece lash. I didn't buy it for pulling but it is specifically for that. I actually bought it for the two lead connections just in case, ya know. I will tell you that it is very easy to control the dog with and it is super comfortable for them, too. If you don't find one with the handle, you should check this out. I think it would work for what you are looking for.

Also, this harness is completely adjustable and I bought the XL which will definitely fit Ruger all the way up until he is full grown.

Thanks! I AM kinda looking for something adjustable, since he's still got some filling out to do, but I'll take a look.

Important measurement is the girth. You can't adjust that any smaller than it comes. I really like it - lightweight, comes with handle, reflective, easy to put on, fits very well. The bright colors such as orange which is what I got is brighter than it is on the screen. Almost like a highlighter. I like the mariner color. Regret getting the orange for Hector - my bf says it makes him look gay

I kinda really want a handle, but I'll definetly keep it in mind, if only because of the size availiblity!

Easy to put on would count as a plus!

This isn't it but its the closest I could find to it. The build was the same but less loaded. It looked like a regular nylon harness with a handle.

I was looking at a couple of their harnesses, as much as I DO NOT want to order from them again, they have a couple that have both a handle on the back AND a spot for a front clip leash.....
