Description
The Christmas photo happens whether you organise it or not, and the harness is in every frame because it is the thing the dog is actually wearing. Ralphie Reindeer puts small rosy cheeked reindeer across the whole piece, which reads as unmistakably festive in a picture and still behaves like a proper walking harness on the way to the park.
It is also a gift that solves itself. Buy the harness, wrap it, and it is a present that gets used every single day of December rather than sitting in a cupboard. If you are buying for someone else's dog, the two adjustment points give you a much wider margin for error on fit than a collar would.
Those two adjustment points are the real reason to choose this harness. You set the neck and the chest independently, which matters because dogs are not one shape. A deep chested dog needs a different neck to chest ratio than a barrel chested one, and a harness that adjusts in only one place forces a compromise somewhere: loose at the neck to get the chest right, or tight at the chest to close the neck. Adjusting both removes the compromise.
How it goes on
This harness goes over the head and is not a step in harness. Slide it over, adjust the neck and chest, and fasten the buckle at the side.
Size guide

| Large | 42 to 55cm | 57 to 80cm |
Measuring the dog
Measure the neck around its base, where the harness sits, and the chest at the widest point just behind the front legs. Match both to the table. Where the dog falls between sizes, take the larger one, because both points adjust down. For a puppy, order the size that fits now rather than the size they are growing into, since a harness with too much slack is one they can reverse out of mid walk.

December walks are wet ones, so it helps that this washes in the machine at 30 degrees and comes out ready for the next outing. The print runs across the range, so a matching reindeer lead completes the look and a poop bag holder keeps walks tidy. Other designs are in the harness range.
