3a How to measure for a buckled collar

You will need either an old collar or  a flexible tape, and a dog .

 

If you want to measure from an old collar, just make a note of where it is buckled, take it off the dog and measure from the tip or end of the buckle to the correct hole. This is your dog's neck size. The size of the collar we make will depend on which hole you specify you want to do it up to, and also the fact that a collar measurement "flat" is not the same as a dog neck "around."

 To measure the dog, place your tape loosely (like two fingers under) around the base of the neck where the collar will sit.  This is the neck size you will need to quote when you order.

 

For an idea of sizing across a few breeds here is a start: (This is a rough guide only)

x small 34-36 cm: Chihuahua; Maltese Terrier; small Beagle; Papillion; Pomerainian; Silky Terrier; Jack Russell or Cairn Terrier.

small 44-46 cm:  Beagle; Bichon Frise; Cavalier King Charles Spaniel; Cocker Spaniel; Dashund; Pug; Welsh Corgi or Miniature Poodle.

medium 51-55 cm:  German Shorthaired Pointer; Boxer; Collie; Bull Dog; Short Haired Retriever; Labrador; Standard Poodle; Border Collie; Dalmation or Doberman.

 large 60-65 cm: Bull Mastif; Great Dane; Rottweiler; Saint Bernard; German Shepherd or Nefoundland.

 

 

3b How to measure for a half check collar

Put a collar on your dog, but put it up firmly around the ears, and
under the dogs jaw, as in this photo.

The collar should be snug, it needs to be able to pull up with the ends close together.   You should
only be able to get one finger under the collar, but able to fit it over the head of course.

If you don't have a buckled collar, use a measuring tape, but do the same thing, snug up around the ears and under the
dogs jaw. (SEE PHOTO)
