Measuring Your Dog for a Custom Leather Harness
Go BackWhen measuring your dog, be patient. Accurate measurements are essential for a properly fitting and adjusting harness. Remember that this may be a new experience for your dog so take your time. To measure, it is best to use a cloth measuring tape such as the kind that seamstresses use. Pull the tape snug for all measurements (no fingers!). If you do not have a measuring tape, you can use a piece of yarn or string and then measure the string with a rigid ruler. For best results, take each measurement three times and average the three measurements. If you have questions or need help with any measurement, please do not hesitate to call us at (405) 701-2707. Please provide the following measurements:
- Girth -- The circumference of your dog just behind the front legs where your dog's chest is the deepest.
- Length The length of your dog from the base of the neck to the base of the tail.
- Height -- The height of the dog from the floor to the top of the shoulder.
- Weight -- The weight of the dog.
- Sternum to shoulder: The distance from the point of the sternum, to the space on the top of the dog's back between the shoulder blades.
- Breed -- The breed of the dog.
- Age -- the age of the dog.
- Sex -- The sex of the dog.
