My husband got this harness for our year old black lab/rottweiler to make him look "tougher" and honestly it made his color stand out and you could see him much better even with the harness being black. Product is very well made, easy to put on him, easy to take off. It is a very strong harness and doesn't wear and tear on his flesh like nylon harnesses would...I would recommend this harness to anyone who has a bigger dog to care for...and everywhere we go people compliment on this harness. Word of caution though...the spikes are not "show" spikes....they really are in the harness and will do poke you if you have one of those dogs who likes to rub up on you like mine does. They don't preforate the skin or anything they are just spikey...they don't chip or break off either...Great harness...
