THE LONG NOSE JOURNAL
Italian Greyhound sizes and fitting
Measure your Italian Greyhound, compare sizes and check garment fit in motion. Practical instructions and fitting decisions from Levretka Krevetka.
A tape measure, a relaxed dog and a little time make a good start for comfortable clothing. Explore back, chest and neck measurements, then see how a garment behaves in motion.
Take repeatable measurements first, then compare them with the particular garment’s chart. During fitting, check a normal walking stride, sleeves and belly opening. Separate guides explain when a neighbouring size helps and when a different cut is the better choice.
