question on harness

I am going to buy a weightpull harness for my girl from ravenswatch. I have one of their harnesses that I had for my GSD and it is a very, very nice harness and I am very happy with it, but it is huge on sweetie.
My question is that they offer 1" or 2" webbing and I am not sure which to choose. 1" might be too restrictive but the 2" might be too bulky, it is a heavy harness to begin with and has lots of padding. I am thinking the 1" will do fine? But this is the first harness I've bought for a bulldog, she's a lot smaller than a shepherd

 

How big is your dog? Loki has pulled from 40 pounds all the way up to 51 one time when she was hog-fat. Her harness has 2" webbing all around. (There is a 1" colored strap stitched over the 2" straps on part of it.)

ETA: You don't have to worry too terribly much about restricting the movement of the front legs because dogs do most of the work with their rears. I haven't noticed any real impediment anyway. Loki can still jump up on me when she's finished her pull.

 

Darn, now I can't think of exactly how wide ours are, I would say 2 inch, here is a picture of Reno in his, yep, now that I look at it, it looks like 2 inch, I have never really seen a thinner one.

 

ADBA isn't big in canada and my girl isn't registered so I have to pull with the IWPA which is all breed. You don't see as many fancy harnesses as you do at the ADBA shows, mine is very simple black with black fleece and a brown bar lol.
As for the restrictive thing, I should have been more clear. I don't think it is going to affect her movement, but a 1" webbing opposed to a 2" webbing is going to cut into her more. Just like a thin collar is harder on their neck than a thick collar. But aside from the X part on her back, the only part of the harness touching her is covered in thick padding so 1" webbing wouldn't really cut in.
I think most pittie harnesses are usually made with 2" webbing, but ravenswatch is a sled dog kennel that also makes weight pull harnesses.
As for her size she is 45lbs about.

 

Stick with the 2 inch. It will spread the weight out over a greater area and be better for your dog. Think of it like this, if you were going to carry a heavy back pack which would you prefer.

 

I highly recommend cdpits harnesses, for wt pull.

 

You know, I just remembered I had a harness with 1-inch webbing. It was made by Ikon outfitters, generic-sized, and no cheaper than the custom-made, thickly padded CD Pits harness posted in my last post. (CDPits is in Canada, BTW. )

ETA: That harness rubbed all the hair off her thighs along the side. The spreader bar was pretty narrow.

 

One of the more important things to look at with a harness isn't really the web sizing, but the neck. You don't want the breast plate to come up too high and hit the dog at the bottom of the throat. It restricts their air and hurts. It can also make them raise up.
