What Size Collar & Harness for a Flat-Coated Retriever?
For an adult Flat-Coated Retriever, a M collar and L harness are the usual starting point, based on a typical neck of 41–48 cm and chest of 61–76 cm. But every dog is different — measure yours and use the two-finger rule before buying.
Collar: M · Harness: L
Typical neck 41–48 cm · chest 61–76 cm · weight 25–36 kg
⚠️ Measure your dog — breed is only a starting point. A Flat-Coated Retriever's build varies a lot between individuals, and a collar is a safety item. Measure the neck snug, add about 2-3 cm (the two-finger rule), and confirm against the specific collar's size guide before buying.
Typical measurements for an adult Flat-Coated Retriever:
| Typical range | Recommended size | |
|---|---|---|
| Neck (collar) | 41–48 cm (16–19 in) | M |
| Chest (harness) | 61–76 cm (24–30 in) | L |
| Weight | 25–36 kg | — |
