So, I own 3 of these skid plates in various sizes. They are well made and hold up to just about anything. However, they are obviously made for labs and flushing dogs, not pointers. I have had 4 pointing dogs and these do not fit any of them no matter how I adjust them. Sometimes they are too long, and sometimes they hang too loose around the neck that the dog eventually gets a paw hung up in it. I would love to see some changes made to this product to make it more adjustable. 1. I think some of the nylon strapping needs to be replaced with elastic bands so it will hold the dogs body tighter. Those straps could be lined with fleece to prevent chafing. 2. The whole design needs to be narrowed. Even the smallest sizes are too wide on most of my dogs. Not everyone has a lab. :)
