Size matters - Maltese Dogs Forum : Spoiled Maltese Forums

**Snowbody** · 11-10-2010, 02:41 PM

Was just thinking that sometimes I see an outfit (and even better, one on sale) that I think would look perfect on one of our members fluffs, but I don't know their sizes. So I was just thinking it might be nice to give our dog's sizes, just in case some auntie wants to spoil someone for a birthday or some other reason. It's a good reference thread to go back to.
I'll go first.

Sue what a great idea! Most women don't want to give out their own measurements, but we are only talking about our dogs so I think this thread will get lots of feedback!

I actually have two little outfits that don't fit Bernie and I'd love to find a malt to send them too! This is an awesome thread!

I need someone who always wears XS and is about 3lbs.

Great. That's the kind of thing I was thinking about too with our growing pups. So what are Bernie's vital statistics too?

I have some clothes that I bought when Milo was a puppy but he never got big enough for them - now I can see if theres a fluff that they will fit!

And I have many of the fluffs' sizes from the Secret Santa questionnaires. I have 4 years worth of questionnaires so can usually find the sizes of most of the active members.

Here are my girls' sizes:

LACIE:
Neck = 10"
Chest = 14.5"
Length = 10"
Weight: = 6 lbs.
Most Clothes - Size S
Full Grown

TILLY:
Neck = 9 1/2"
Chest = 15 1/2"
Length = 12"
Weight = 11 lbs.
And she has very long legs
Most Clothes - Size S (but sometimes a M if the outfit runs small)
Full Grown

SECRET:
Neck = 7 1/2"
Chest = 11 1/2"
Length = 8 1/2"
Weight = almost 4 lbs.
Most Clothes - Size XS (but sometimes she's better in an XXS)
Full Grown
