Hi: my name is ken and i have a now 6 and a half momth old eb, Her name is Stella and my wife and myself just love her. She was spayed two weeks ago and is doing just fine now. She is 44lbs now and we just noticed that she seems to occasionally have the head tremor shake just before she falls into deep sleep it was very frieghting at first, but after reading about it on this great forum we feel better about it. My vet has seen this and done a complete CBC which came back fine. He says there is a very good chance she will outgrow this as she gets to adult hood. (we are keeping our fingers crossed) I really want to buy her a harness for her daily walks but don't know where to turn any suggestions would be appreciated. her girth at the belly is 28inches and her neck is 16and a half. thank you all.

Welcome to the site. I can't wait to see photos of Stella. you will be bombarded with requests until you get one up, so you better get that camera ready. This site is so very awesome and it will soon become addicting.
I don't always use harnesses with my bullies. Abby can hardly move fast due to her age and joints. Bella is like an inbetween size, she is too small for the ususal bully harness yet too big for a pug or frenchie size. The large ones rub and the small ones are well just that too small. I do know that Carolina Pet Pantry do sell some real nice ones with matching leashes. They have regular collars as well. Their page should be on the home page.
Again, welcome to the group and don't forget photos.

I just bought a harness from petco, basic, nothing fancy seems to be fine for my girl Miila so far. I did buy more expensive ones for my boys years ago that are made to prevent them from pulling the way it sits on their chest. That also seems to work fine for them but again it isnt fancy. I have seen many that look really neat on here so I am sure you will get better advice on that. Welcome by the way. Glad you have found Ebn helpful already!

Welcome to the site!!! Maggie has the head tremors although hasn't had one for a while!!! It can be quite scary when you first see one!
We got our harness from Petco too and it fits well, but Carolina Pet Pantry does have some very pretty harnesses and collars.
Now ..... Don't forget to post some pics!!

Hello and welcome the wonderful world of EBN!!
Our boy Nitshcke had the temors all his life -- as long as they respond to you --- no worries. Give her a treat (any small treat will do) it will snap her out of it.

Welcome to you and Stella. Don't know much about head tremors except what I've read on this forum. But seems like it just looks worse than it is. As for harnesses, I ordered mine off the internet. I needed good strong leather as one of my bulldogs is 70 lbs of stubborn bulldog and I was wearing out those ones I got at our local pet stores. Glad you found our forum and when you have time, show us your beautiful Stella.

We got our harnesses from PetSmart, they are nylon, reflective, & fully adjustable and less than $35 for the harness & 6' leash.
Sorry to hear about the tremors, we haven't experienced that but often when one of the dogs is sleeping with/on us we will notice they stop breathing for a moment. We just give them a shake and they are good to go. I guess its a sort of sleep apnea but you will learn all kinds of little mannerisms with this breed. Gotta love 'em!
