Saddle bags/dog backpacks thoughts and recomendations please!

[BENNIETHEREDDOBERMAN]

Hello!
I've been looking around for a good saddle bag for our 9 month old female and the most recent threads were from 2016, there might be new stuff out since then.

We want something to make her feel like she's working, help tire her out a bit, and also carry her water/poo bags/treats etc. We are city walking most of the time, but on weekends we go to trails off leash. We would want her to be able to run through brush without completely destroying the pack (I know it will eventually). Any thoughts or brands or experiences welcome!

Hoping for something under $60 CAD

I have the mid-size for Grace, 60lb female....had to shorten the under belly ties...so the sizing runs big. Very well made and chew proof!

We have pretty much the same thing as @GOD'S GRACE but we bought it under the OneTigris name. Sturdy and stays straight when the breast strap is adjusted correctly. Haven't experiences any rubbing or anything weird about it either.

Blingo Dingo and her backpack. She's about 62lbs.

The only one that I have experience with is the Julius-K9 harness with the additional purchase of saddle bags. Well built and light weight but you’d spend about $90 for the harness and saddlebags

....are you stating I'm doing it wrong!....

hahahaha OMG not at all! It was giving me so much trouble over the weekend which it NEVER does and I noticed that front strap was too loose. Tightened up and BADABING; problem solved!

I have the same harness and dogs as @Drogon They are really great. I wouldn’t put weight in them at her age because of her growth plates though maybe little things but I would put large water bottles in them yet

I got them the Julius K-9 harnesses when they were 8mos but I did not use any weights with them.
Also got them the OneTigris backpacks and I weight them with a 16oz water bottle on each side. They were 18mos when I put weight on them. Like others have said the backpacks run large but they are not expensive.

I have the exact ones Gods Grace has. From what I can tell, they are the exact same thing as the Tigris ones, just cheaper. I had to shorten the belly straps for both dogs.

This is on Kaizer when he was about 10-11 months, so 85ish pounds.

And on both, same day, 75 pound (stocky) lab.

How do you like the XDog vest?
I think they look awesome on the dogs!

Grace hit you with the “are you sure about this look”

Grace hit you with the “are you sure about this look”

When ever I add a collar or harness, etc. I get that look...she kills me!

 

[Sir.duke865]

She’s looking like “I only wear this cause you like it”

Thanks for the quick feed back everyone! The brown one with the handle on top is the best seller on Amazon, I'm so glad for the photos of it on your dobermans, thanks guys! For now it'll just be her water and my water on short hikes.
