Thanks for the suggestion.... Yes, I actually have spoken to Black Dog Wear and unfortunately they didn't seem all that interested in my feedback. Unfortunately they don't have any old stock. They were too busy telling me how the new version is so much better (sorry - but I can see with my own eyes that it doesn't sit as well as the original halter, and my dog continually tries to get the new haltermate version off, he absolutely hates it. Which tells me it's not comfortable for him at all)
I spoke with the same person at Black Dog twice and on each occasion she gave me two different reasons as to why they don't make the Infin8 anymore - which tells me that they're not being completely honest.
She initially told me that they might be able to make one up for me as apparently they do custom-make stuff - but then she got back and told me that some of the components have been discontinued so they couldn't make one up for me. Umm, sorry - but I compared the new haltermate which I recently bought, with the Infin8 (original version) which my friend lent me; and they both have exactly the same components/fittings, the only difference is the design. So that in itself raised my suspicions.
I'm really disappointed to say the least Hence my relentless search for one
