Measurement A – Back
Take a measurement along the back from the neck, just below the collar, to the base of the tail.
Measurement B – Chest
Measure around the girth of the dog, at the deepest part, normally just behind the front legs.
Measurement C – Neck
Take the third measurement around the neck, just below the collar, add a little to ensure you leave plenty of space for your dog!
Sizing Chart
Now you have your measurements, refer to the chart; find the largest of the two sizes you recorded, rounding up if necessary. Please bear in mind the chart represents the actual size of the coat, not the dog.
For instance, if you have measurements as A: 62 (round up to 64cm size 4) and B: 70 (round up to 71cm size 4) and C: 44 (rounded up to 47 size 4) you would need a size 4.

Tig and Mus –
I ordered this sweater earlier in the year for Mus, my Spanish mutt. He’s got reasonable fur coverage topside, but is a bit thin on his belly area. The Cable Knit Sweater has great underbelly coverage and the full length Velcro fixings keep the sweater nice and snug along the body. The turtleneck, combined with the soft material, completed the all-round cosy feel of the sweater. Mus’s body measurements didn’t fit any of the standard sweater measurements, but that wasn’t a problem. Mel just adapted a suitably sized template accordingly. Great service and really good work(wo)manship. Mel worked like the clappers over the weekend and we got the sweater just before the cold snap hit the UK. Mus was one happy, snuggly dog! I’d like a sweater for myself too…..

Thanks Tig and Mus for the kind review, we are very pleased you are happy and doesn’t he look adorable in it too. It was my absolute pleasure to make it for him.

I have a lurcher cross collie, Teddy, who i have found very difficult to buy for. The fit is lovely on him with his sighthound shape and the feel of the jumper is very soft and warm. Teddy is currently snoozing away happy and cosy! The colour is true to the pictures and is very well made with lots of intricate detailing. Customer service is some of the best I’ve ever encountered, very personalised and extremely accommodating! Will defiantly be buying again!
