Harness measure

I have made my mind up to go for the ezdog harness with wide breastplate, those of you that have one, how and wherebouts did you measure your staff to get correct size.

Standard Harness: Select a harness using the measurement of the girth - the measurement around the dog’s chest just behind the front legs - allowing space for 2 fingers to fit between the harness and the dog’s body for a comfortable fit. When in doubt, order the next larger size.

Thank you Kathy. I will let Pixee sleep first, bless her shes on her mat in my office fast asleep dreaming of something, cos her legs are moving then measure and order the lovely pink one

Yes best let sleeping dogs lie, sounds like she is having fun running across those fields in her sleep.

i have one of those for sash and was really pleased with it,really helped with her pulling,i was lucky cos we took her in the shop and a really helpfull assistant got the right one to fit her after trying different ones on.

Ledger has one a medium I think but he has quite a narrow chest for a Staffy

Yeah Kathy I think she was dreaming of running in the fields chasing me. We do play this game, where she has now learned to walk away from me in the fields while keeping an eye on me till I run, then she runs full blast at me.

Now more advice, her chest is 670 thans allowing for 2 fingers room. As she is approx 20months now, I understand, that they still grow out till they 2, the girth size allows for L is 480 - 840 and the extra large allows for 560 - 970. Would you say I should go for XL? She is a long leggy staffy, I know I need to get pictures up soon as. I dont reckon she will be as broad as some staffies?

Edit to say after reading others, perhaps Large is ok? Thanks for all your replies

i havent heard of these before. do they offer more control?

Any one able to help me with size? See my post just up.
Taryn, Pixee does have a blue cross harness, but is too small now for her really. I do prefer a harness, whilst she is brillant on heel to walk, does not pull, its when she sees another dog, she will go for it barking, I do have more control over her with the harness, cos I dont have to worry about hurting her neck, and you are able to lift them off their front feet, thus giving you a chance to control your dog more. Same with certain people. And for that reason I feel better, as it works for me.

ohh i see. yes. Romeo has a Hurtta Harness Y-style. i love it. maks me feel better when he tugs that i'm not going to colaps his windpipe

Tilly has the exact same harness , we got her a medium she is 17kg and quite broad but diddy

Pixee is around 17kg, so I am thinking large, cos she is growing out still. Thanks Dave.

Taryn, I did look at those ones too, but since the blue cross also has a wide breastplate, I thought getting one more or less the same would be better. They are strong dogs when they pull, its no wonder you worry about their necks.
