Mistyrayn Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 How to Measure Your Dog For A Harness Important: If you are unsure that your measurements are correct then, always add a little to the measurement, I.e., 0.5" or 1". It's always easier to take the harness in, rather than trying to make it bigger, when there is little or no material left to do anything. Note: 1 When measuring the dogs neck, please give this measurement as half of it's true size, I.e., "if the neck measures 30 inches in total" then please write above the Red coloured arrows 15 inches. Please note : some dogs heads are larger than their neck size. Note: 2 This measurement should be taken from the back of the neck (Shoulder blades/Withers) and before the leading edge of the Breast Bone/Sternum. Note: 3 This measurement should be taken from the leading edge of the Breastbone, to the trailing edge of the Breastbone. Note: 4 This measurement should be taken from just in front of the Shoulder Blades/Withers, to the point at the base of the tail. (Please be advised, this measurement is very important when measuring for dogs, since a further 2 inches or more of line is added to this measurement to accommodate the Tail-line clip. Excessive length in this area can result in the clip hanging too far behind the dog, and as a result, the dog may be struck in the testicles when running.
