What Size Collar & Harness for a Old English Sheepdog?
For an adult Old English Sheepdog, a L collar and XL harness are the usual starting point, based on a typical neck of 46–56 cm and chest of 71–91 cm. But every dog is different — measure yours and use the two-finger rule before buying.
Collar: L · Harness: XL
Typical neck 46–56 cm · chest 71–91 cm · weight 27–45 kg
⚠️ Measure your dog — breed is only a starting point. A Old English Sheepdog'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.
🐕 Breed note: Measure with the fur pressed flat, then consider sizing up — a thick coat needs extra room and can hide the true neck size.
