The Trendy Whippet
Measuring your hound can be hard. Especially if they are a wriggly puppy, a sleeping Whippet or a Greyhound that doesn’t want to be wrapped in a tape measure!
Don’t Worry! We are here to help with that!
WHAT YOU WILL NEED
Hound
Soft Tape Measure
Firstly, make sure your hound is stood up. And hopefully they will stay still for you for 1 minute!
You will need a seamstress soft tape measure.
There are 3 main measurements you will need to get.
A: BACK LENGTH
B: CHESTÂ
C: NECK
BACK LENGTH –
Please ensure your Italian Greyhound, Whippet, Lurcher or Greyhound is stood up straight and still.Â
Take your tape measure and run from the base of the neck, along the spine to the top of the tail.
*When measuring for a coat, remember to add an inch to their back length so the coat will cover the top of the bum.
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
CHEST –
Take your soft tape measure and place all the way around the deepest part of your Sighthound’s chest.
This is usually behind the front legs.
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â
NECK –
Take your soft tape measure and carefully place all the way around the middle of your hounds neck, where a collar would usually sit. Not too high up as this will be too tight and will not be comfortable for your hound. Not too low down as this could be too loose and slip off the head.

We were so pleased with his harness, but now he’s grown so need next size up but ordering same style, we have maybe another couple of weeks with the first one left, I tried sending the 3photos but only one came up
Just received Y shape harness for my whippet. Brilliant item. Conventional harnesses rub under the armpits, this one doesn’t and is a lovely fit. Speedy delivery. Ordered yesterday afternoon and received this morning
Major thankies for the article. Much thanks again. Great. Lucretia Gonzalo Woody
