Instruction
1. The place where measurements will be performed, make rather free, convenient in order that there was an opportunity to be risen to the pet from any party.
2. 1. Back length. You make measurement of a dog only on a rigid firm floor, or equal soil. If you are an owner of a dog, take measurements independently better. The dog has to stand exactly, leaning on all four pads, not to lie and not to sit at all. Even the most insignificant movement can lead to errors in measurement. Measure by flexible centimeter length from withers (it is the topmost point of a back at the dog standing quietly) on a backbone to the basis of her tail. This size received by you in centimeters will also be the size of a dog. It is important that your measurements were exact. If the received length fluctuates between several sizes, deviating the standard, then it is necessary to consider the size towards the greatest. If the animal dense, with a big, volume thorax, is recommended to add one more size that the thing normally approached, and to a dog was not inconveniently. If animal thin and small, then the size is necessary smaller.
3. Chest. For a start measure the most most part of a thorax. It will be behind forepaws at once. Not to be mistaken, it is recommended to add 3 or 5 cm that the thing freely fitted a dog to the received measurements. But the large role is also played by style and a style of the chosen clothes.
4. Waist size. Measure it in the smallest part of a stomach at a dog, that that before hind legs. It must be kept in mind that at a dog the grasp of a waist is measured before genitals. As well as at measurement of length of a back, chest can be slightly bigger number of centimeters, than it turned out at measurement.
5. 4. And the last parameter - a neck grasp. For obtaining the size of a grasp of a neck of an animal, measure the most part of a neck, that is at its basis where the neck of a dog meets with a trunk. The neck grasp, as a rule, equals to the size of its collar.
