2025 AKC Sizing Guidelines

Length Calculation

Nose-to-tail measurement plus 5cm (2 inches) for comfortable movement and turning.

Height Calculation

Shoulder height plus 10cm (4 inches) for natural standing posture.

Width Standard

Should allow your dog to turn around comfortably, typically 75% of length.

Comfort Zone

Large enough to stand, turn, and lie down, but not so large as to eliminate the den feeling.
