Donating YT 14K Club Member | Measure your dog...shoulder to ground and base of neck to start of tail. Dog should be stacked when taking measurements.

| First you have to get a measuring tape that's flexible, the kind you use for sewing. Measure around his neck (this is the neck measurement) Girth is the measurement around his middle right behind his front legs. Length is from the neck to tail (my guy has a long neck so I go from the middle of the neck to the base of the tail). If it has a hood measure the length from the back of the head. I didn't and I got an outfit with a hood that wouldn't go over his little head. it's still cute as a button on just not functional.

| Additional info: Most clothes are sized by length only, if your dog is long and slim go down a size so it will fit in the body. If he's short and stocky go up a size.

| I am thinking that I might let the puppies go home around the 17 or the 18 of Feb. This would put them at 10 weeks, They are doing much better now that peyton is not nursing them any more. Most of there teeth have come in.....thanks for all the help
