Measuring Your Dog for a Sleddog Harness

How to measure for a harness

A = Base of neck (withers) just in front of shoulder blades B = Breast bone C = Base of tail D = Last rib on ribcage *When measuring make sure your dog is in a standing position.*

1.  A to B

Measure from the withers or base of neck  ~ point A ~ to breast bone ~ point B     (Find where the breast bone is most prominent, just where the neck turns into the     chest.)

2.  B to C

From point B, take the tape between the front legs, just past the armpit, then     gradually extend the tape on an upwards angle to the end of the back, just where     the tail begins ~ point C

3.  A to D

Just above the place where your dog’s belly begins to tuck up and the ribcage     ends, find the last rib ~ point D ~ measure from the base of neck ~ point A ~ to     this point.

4.  A to C

Measure from the base of neck ~ point A~ straight along the middle of your dog’s     back, right to the base of tail ~ point C
