JULIUS K9 Original Powerharness

The Original Powerharness has been created for usage in law enforcement, military and search & rescue units in Europe. It’s unparalleled in quality and functionality. Today it’s the Number 1 dog harness for all kinds of working dogs, sport dogs and pets. 

Breathable, skin friendly inner liner

The ŐKO-TEX material is manufactured by the highest standards of human clothing manufactures. Breathable and non-toxic.

Heavy duty buckles

The high-quality buckle of the Original Powerharness are permanently being tested and checked. This careful attention pays off especially in wintertime: these buckles work perfectly and don’t break even in frosty weather.

Removable Velcro labels

We have hundreds of different Velcro labels in stock. You can also order customized patches especially for your dog. The Original Powerharness comes complete with a pair of fluorescent JULIUS-K9 brand labels which glow in the dark.

Reflective seams and chest strap

One of the most important functions of the Original Powerharness is that it works well as a highly visible vest. The grey line of the chest strap and the seams of the harness are made of reflective materials, so the dog is visible in the dark even from a distance.

Sidebag attachments

Sidebags are available for larger Original Powerharnesses, sizes 1 to 4. The smaller IDC-Universal sidebag for all sizes is ideal to carry personal documents, vaccination records, a cell phone or some poop bags.

Flashlight holder

The flashlight holder (available on sizes 1-4) is an elastic loop, so it gives high stability, the flashlight can not slip out of the holder. It’s useful for night walks when we need to follow our dog. Thanks to the ergonomic design you don’t have to worry that your dog can be caught in some brushes because of the loops. The flashlight holder is made of high quality German materials. It allows to use sidebags at the same time. It’s essential for search and rescue dogs and for every service dogs which are working in the dark.

Closable Handle

The Original Powerharness (sizes Mini-Mini-4) has a handle on top that can be closed with a Velcro strap while the dog is running off-leash. That prevents the dog from getting stuck somewhere.

Certified Quality

Highest quality certified by independent crash and load tests. The buckle of the product opened at 300 kg (660 lbs.), but the harness itself did not tear.
