In the
Niggeloh x Hashteckel collection, the Follow Start is the perfect basic harness for your Dachshund.
Follow Start
Our collaboration with hunting brand Niggeloh arose from the need for perfectly fitting harnesses for Dachshunds, which often do not fit well with standard harnesses. By working closely together, we have designed and extensively tested new models so that they optimally meet the needs of Dachshunds. The exclusive Niggeloh x Hashteckel collection is now available in our webshop and store.

Perfect fit
The unique physique of Dachshunds requires a specially designed harness. This harness for your Dachshund is adapted to the broad shoulders with deep chest, combined with the narrow, long body. They fall further on the back and stay out of the armpits, leaving the shoulder blades completely free for movement. Thanks to a longer back panel and an adjustable belly strap, every owner can adjust the fit to their liking. In addition, the pressure distribution of a Y-harness, in addition to an H-harness, is most suitable for Dachshunds. Want to read more about this?

Ultimate wearing comfort
This harness for your Dachshund offers exceptional wearing comfort. The harness fits perfectly to the Dachshund's body and moves without shifting. Provided it is properly adjusted of course. Are you looking for a harness that does not have to go over your Dachshund's head? Then take a look at the
Follow Light.
Lightweight
The majority of this Dachshund harness is made of neoprene, an ultra-light material. This ensures that the Follow Start and Follow Light are the lightest harnesses of their kind, which further increases wearing comfort for the Dachshund.
Outdoor-proof and maintenance-free
Because Dachshunds are low to the ground, their harnesses have to deal with dirt and moisture every day. These harnesses were originally designed for hunting and are made of high-quality neoprene that does not absorb moisture and dirt. The sturdy, soft nylon prevents chafing, and the full-grain leather applications remain beautiful, even after a dip in the water. These features make this harness for your Dachshund maintenance-free.
