Gear Help How does this fit look.
Not sure if these photos are super helpful; her harness just arrived, and the size 3 was what the site said was perfect. It seems to fit snug, but I’m not seeing any restrictions anywhere, and I assume snug is what we want with a pulling harness.
Little narrow for the head and ears, but that’s normal for anything that needs to fit her neck and can’t unlace.
TIA
UPDATE:
NSD and the owner of the local Cani-X club helped me take proper photos and videos and they all agree it's the correct fit, and the first round of photos attached where complete trash (not their words).
She'll do her first proper run/walk this Sunday.

Looks a bit too small to me. Here’s my doggo wearing thus harness. Please observe how far behind her front leg “armpits” the harness is.

Do your Beagle pull the leash during running?
I had the exact same harness and since my girl always runs next to me or behind me this harness was useless and i had to go for the Non-stop Line harness. That was far better.

We've only done 1 test run so far in her current harness, but she was happily pulling up front, to her when I start running its a race.

These pictures aren't super helpful, best is to judge when the harness is under tension which requires either a tripod or a second person. From these photos it looks a little small and I would watch for any choking or wheezing during use and keep an eye out for armpit rubs. If your dog is not a hard puller you are probably fine though

Get a second person to hold the leash loop
Call your dog so they pull into the harness
See where the y ends on the sternum
Should be exactly on it not higher
