185 Comments on "What is Your Dog Breed’s Average Neck Size?"
Black and Tan Coonhound is missing
For a black and tan coonhound weighing 70 – 85 pounds the neck size averages 19″ to 23″.
Dogo Argentino’s neck size?
If your dog weighs between 77-99 pounds the neck size is probably 20-26″.
How about a chiweenie?
Sorry we couldn’t find information online about the chiweenie’s neck size.
Need Belgian Malinois adult neck size. Preferably just below the ears
I’m sorry Mark, we can’t find any information online about the Belgian Malinois neck size.
Bedlington Terrier
According to what we found online, if your dog weighs between 17 and 23 pounds the collar size should be between 14 and 18 inches.
Teddy Bear Puppy
Italian Mastiff, Cane Corso…
French mastiff
Sorry we didn’t find any details online on the french mastiff’s neck size.
What size collar for a Redbone Coonhound weighing about 62 Lbs.
Sorry I couldn’t find anything online. If it helps at all, my dog is a coonhound mix and weighs about 50 pounds. Her collar is 14″- 22″.
what about a german shephard / pitbull mix neck size?
We aren’t sure about a german shephard/pitbull mix. Do you know how much your dog weighs? If so, you could look at the other breeds on this page and look for one in the same weight range and go by that collar size. Sorry we couldn’t be more help.
Samoyed
Bouvier de Flanders?
We found online the average weight is 60-77 pounds and the average neck size is 22″-26″.
60-77? Male Bouviers are more like 85 to 120 pounds.
Looking for a Walker, Bluetick, Plott hound.
No mention of a Pomeranian-poodle mix. Very small dogs; 2-4 pounds.
We aren’t sure about the neck size of a Pomeranian-poodle mix. If you have this breed, use a fabric tape measure and measure around the neck. To give you an idea, a Yorkshire terrier is 6-12 inches with a weight of 6-9 pounds. So if a Pomeranian-poodle is 2-4 pounds it’s probably smaller than 6-12 inches.
Thanks a lot..
Also, do you know the size of the Rhodesian Ridgeback’s head at it’s widest point?
No we do not, sorry. Good luck finding it and feel free to share your findings here with us. I’m sure our readers will appreciate it!
Rhodesian Ridgeback isn’t on the list
The neck size is approximately 20-23″.
Didn’t find the Belgium malinois??
We are sorry, we could not find information about the average neck size of this breed.
Missing Irish Terrier 🙁
Looks like an Irish Terrier is 25-27 lbs and 16″ – 22″ neck size. We’ll be sure to add it to our article to help future Irish Terrier owners! Thanks!
We just got a male European harlequin Great Dane. I want to get him a nice leather custom collar but not sure what size to get him. 20-26 is a very big range.
How about the Border Terrier?
Resources we found state an 11-13″ neck size. Thanks for mentioning this breed to us!
I was wondering if anyone would know the average neck size of a newborn, 8 week Bernese Mountain Dog puppy? I would love to order some Thanksgiving themed collars for my new litter expected around November 17th.
No Yorkie poo minie on there.
Standard Whoodle (Standard poodle + wheaten terrier) ours weighs about 42lbs fully grown. Current collar, which easily allows 3 fingers beneath, is adjusted to 15″ while the total collar length is about 19″ when laid out flat.
What a brilliant site – ya’ll just saved me about 5 minutes. Cheers!
How big is mini yorkie? It weighs 3.9 pounds, but neck size I cannot find.
Bert
My neighbor behind me has two. Her male and female both wear cat collars or her bracelets. The female looks like it’s not real. She’s maybe 3 lbs and beautiful! Big personality for such a little nugget!
What about a American Pit Bull Terrier? I have 2 and I need a harness.
The American Pit Bull Terrier’s average neck size is 14â€- 18â€.
It’s a very very runty APBT that has a 14″ neck.
No mention of the Schipperke
Love this list but I wanted to say that pit bulls is a wide variety. And each breed that people consider “pitbull” all have different weights and sizes 🙂 maybe look into adding each “pitbull” breed and their sizes?
That’s a great suggestion Katelyn! We will look into doing that in our next update! 🙂
What would the neck size of a Bird Dog be? I make dog collars out of 550 Paracord, so this chart will come in handy!
What about the Kooikerhondje?
Thanks for the question! I have searched high and low for the answer but I cannot find the neck size for this dog. If I had to guess, I would say 14-20″ but that is just a guess based on its size relative to similar dogs. Since you asked, perhaps you know more about this dog and can let us know so we can update our list for the Kooikerhondje? Thanks!
Sorry, I don’t know. I’m only intending to get one. You can contact Golden Gate Kooikerhondjes or someone else.
Hello, what about the Bernese Mountain Dog?
Thanks Audrey. Bernese have been added to our chart!
What neck size is a Lurcher?
Hi Niamh,
Thank you for your question. What a gorgeous dog the Lurcher is!! The answer is a little more complex than the standard dog breed though because our research indicates that this dog can be bred from Greyhounds or Whippets. Depending on the size of the sighthound with which it is genetically linked, the size may vary. So, Lurcher has been added to this list with this caveat. Take care!
Thank you so much. 🙂
Could you please add German Shorthair Pointer? I have a 6 year old female, who’s so lovable and loving.
Thank you.
Thanks Cecily. We have added German Shorthair Pointer’s to our list. Give yours a big hug from us!
What size harness should a get for an 2 month old German Shepard pup?
Vanessa, it depends on the weight of your dog but since it’s a puppy you might want to consider not getting anything too expensive and/or a collar that your dog can grow into. Hope that helps!
Miniature American Eskimo?
Hi Denisse, I do not know. I’ve done some research and can only find neck measurements for standard American Eskimo dogs. If you have this information for the minis, can you please share so I can add it to our article? Thanks!
14 1/2 – 15″
Thanks Denisse! This breed has been added to this page! 🙂
Australian Kelpie?
Hi Cathy,
I added this breed based on some indirect details but I am not familiar with this breed and cannot find much about neck size in my research. Do you know much about this dog? If so, can you advise whether you think this makes sense? 15-21″ neck size and 25-45 pounds. Thanks!
Shiba Inu? (:
Added. Thanks Shiba Mama!
Akita!!!
Added! Thanks Dyllan.
Groenendael Belgian Shepherd isn’t up there. I’m planning for the future and trying to find the right collar size since it’s a large dog breed, weighing around 80 pounds.
What about a Mastiff?
Thank you, TJ. English Mastiff has been added to this article.
this is helpful! thanks!
We are getting a 3 year old English Labrador. This breed is more stocky than a regular Labrador. Please add to list. Thanks.
Hi Carol,
Do you have the dimensions on-hand? If so, please send them along. I’d love to have the details from a true expert! Thanks!
What about the caucasian ovcharka ? Thanks
Yasmine, we added Caucasian Shepherd to the list, thank you!
How are you measuring your dogs neck? I have 2 pure bread Border Collies and they are both full grown adults (4 years old), a female and male. They have 14cm necks or 5.5 inch necks. Are you measuring something I am not?
Hi AC,
We do not have Border Collies but have received information over the years from vets, pet owners and other websites. I just did a quick search to make sure there was not a mistake for Border Collies and found our size recommendation was consistent with all other resources we reviewed. So perhaps your dogs have smaller necks than the average? Lucky you as smaller dogs tend to eat less than bigger dogs! 😉 Much love to your pups!
Mini Labradoodle?
Care to add the Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Cur, or even the American Leopard Hound? Thanks.
I have actually never heard of these two breeds so if you have the measurements that we could add, please let me know. Thanks!
I have Louisiana Catahoula Leopard dogs…first real American breed dog! Mine are about 80 lbs and their neck is 18 1/2 inches. They are used to herd and hunt wild boar, are very smart and beautiful!
Thank you George! We will be sure to add this to our article.
May you add Miniature Australian Shepherd? Thanks!
Hi Kayley, I added the miniature Aussie Shepherd this morning. Thank you!!
Can you please add an Irish Setter Puppy? Thank You!!! (And Adult)
Irish Setter has been added to our list. We only include adult sizes currently in our list. If you measure your puppy’s neck and have a size, please let us know and also whether it is male or female. Thanks!
And an Old English Sheepdog Puppy? Thanks!
Old English Sheepdog?
Can you please add a Native American Indian Dog? And what would be the average puppy size? Thanks!!!
Silky Terrier, Please?
please add Old English Sheepdog puppy

Hi Robert, Thanks for your inquiry. To keep our list a bit cleaner, we tend to not cover the puppy sizes but please note that we added the average neck size and weight for an adult Old English Sheepdog. Take care!
Labradoodle please?
Labradoodle please?

You’re missing Rat Terriers.
Hi Jade,
No problem. I added the Rat Terrier today to our list. Thanks so much for your comment and support! Have a great week!
Hi Jade,
No problem. I added the Rat Terrier today to our list. Thanks so much for your comment and support! Have a great week!
What about Miniature Bull Terriers?
Hi Maddie and thanks for your question! I have added Miniature Bull Terriers to this list with a neck size of 14-18″ and weighing in between 25-40 pounds. Thanks!
My pure bred Blue Heeler is only 18″ (female)
Princess Bella is quarter corgi and part terrier mix:-), so what size Collar would she need?
Just a quick question, these measurements are for full grown breeds?
Yes these measurements are for full grown breeds.
Hi, Could you please include King Charles Cavalier Spaniel?
We added it to the list! My mom has a Cav they are the sweetest dogs ever in my opinion! Such great companions. Thanks for the comment!
I didn’t see French Mastiff on the list. 🙂
I don’t see the Black and Tan Coonhound on here. Or the Bluetick or Treeing Walker. Could you add?
Don’t forget the Schipperkes! Although the ruff gets in the way a bit for the males, and there is a definite size difference in sexes.
I do not see a blue heeler/ Australian cattle dog – which ever you prefer to call it. it’s more popularly called a blue heeler in the states.
My blue heeler is 9 months he is wearing a 16″ collar if that helps at all does anyone know how large his neck will get if any larger at all?
Hi Chad,
We would recommend getting an adjustable collar that expands up to 28 inches for a male. Enjoy the final puppy days and we will make this update to our article now. Thanks!
Your list is very helpful. I have a collar which I convinced myself wasn’t the right size but it appears to be ok for my new arrival. Thank you for stopping me going into puppy meltdown!
I have an Australian Kelpie (possibly a mix, but she looks exactly to a T like a Kelpie). She averages 35 pounds and has a 15″ neck. Hope this is helpful! 🙂
Bullmastiff Is Missing From Your List. My Bullmastiffs typically need a 26-28 inch collar when full grown.
Hello, My sister recently got a Great Pyrenees X Newfoundland puppy. I want to surprise them with a collar for when he’s full grown but I’m not sure what size he will need. His dad is a 160 pound dog. Do you know about what size he’ll need full grown? Thanks so much, Melinda
I have a mixed King Charles Spaniel and he only weighs in at about 14 lbs. They are smaller than a Cocker Spaniel.
I don't see measurements for neck size of Vizslas?
Thanks! We've added Vizsla to the list.
Do you know about the miniature Australian Shepherd, also known as the miniature American Shepherd? I'm specifically wondering about a dog that will grow up to be around 14" and weigh 25lbs.
I can't see the Westie on here what size collar would it need please?
Hi Rosa, as a puppy, a Westie will likely wear a collar around 6-9". As a 15-22 lb. adult, a 14-16" collar should be the right fit. Thanks for your comment!
Hi. I saw that the Newfoundland dog breed is missing.
Hi Brittany. We've added the Newfoundland to the list. Thanks for your comment!
Looking for a neck size for a Havanese puppy and full size dog.
A week ago we got an eight week old English lab puppy. She weighed 19 lbs. We originally got a medium size collar, but it was too big. Her neck size now at nine weeks is about 12". We got a small that fits better. I recommend getting the small. 11-14 inches gives room to grow.
Hi there, I am due to get a golden Cocker Spaniel pup who will be nine weeks when we pick him up and looking to start his walks on leads etc. when he reaches 14 weeks old. Do you know an approximate waist size for a cocker spaniel at this age so I can buy a dog harness in preparation? Many thanks.
Hi Rob, we don't really know an approximate waist size for a Cocker Spaniel at 14 weeks, but would imagine that, in light of the collar size for a full grown Cocker (below), you'd want to go with a small harness (based on this chart: http://pets.petsmart.com/help/pet-sizing-guides/dog-harness/). It ​might be a bit large at first, but your pup should quickly fill it out. Hope this helps.
COCKER SPANIEL 12-18"; 24-60 LBS
Wire-haired Fox Terrier?
Hi John, a wire-haired Fox Terrier would be around 14-18 lbs. and in a 10-16" collar.
Hi there,
I am picking up my Rottie pup soon and we have always had a smaller partial chain collar initially until they are big enough for a ROGZ collar (we have armed response). However we are thinking of going straight to collar but the armed response is 17-29" long and 1" webbing width.
Is this a bit big? They do a medium one at 10-16" and 3/8" wide.
Many thanks.
Hi Nicola, depending on how old your pup is and the size of his/her neck currently, the 17-29" could be a bit big, however a full-size Rottweiler can easily wear a 24-30" collar so, eventually, this collar would be the appropriate size. Hope this helps.
Would you be able so figure up the size for a Saluki? I have a 10-week-old pup, and have found several beautiful collars on sale. Unfortunately I have no idea how big around his neck will be.
Hi Amber. We would suggest you go by the size listed for a Greyhound, which would be 14-18" collar for a full-grown Saluki. Thanks for your comment!
Hi there, I have eight Border Collie puppies by a medium-sized dog breed, but not sure which (only saw him in the dark). I want to get some collars for them to put on at 4-5 weeks of age to tell them apart. I am looking at buying 8-14 inch in size; do you think that will be too big? Thanks heaps.
Hi Tina. While that size sounds about right to us, we would suggest measuring your puppies to find their current size; use a piece of cloth or string to measure their necks and add two inches to give you their current perfect fit. This way, you'll know if the 8-14' range is the best before you buy. Thanks!
Thanks for your quick reply. We think it is a Border Collie/Rottweiler mix. Rottweilers grow quickly and are much wider around the neck. I measured one of the puppies yesterday; they are one week old and measure seven inches (roughly) around the neck. Does that mean they can already use a seven-inch collar? If that's the case an 8-14 will be outgrown very quickly 🙂
Hi Tina. This is a great instance of why we encourage people to measure before buying, despite the above specs. Yes, if his neck is already around 7", that is likely a great size for him now, but he will grow out of it fairly quickly. A full-size Rottweiler can easily use a collar that's in the 24-30" range.
I am picking up my 10-week-old Boston Terrier puppy next week but I don't know what size harness to buy for the trip home. He is 4 pounds, 8 ounces if that helps any. I would appreciate an answer as soon as you can. Thank you.
Hi Arlene. Without measuring your puppy, it will be difficult to give you an exact size. (Most harnesses are fitted by girth, not weight.) However, based on his age and size, we'd likely say an XS or an XXS if you can find it. Hope this helps!
I have a South African Boerboel. He is 13 weeks and very strong. He is 35 pounds.
I am getting a Cairn terrier in a couple of days. He is only 12 weeks old. I was wondering what size collar I need for a puppy. I got one but I think it is going to be more for him as an adult the more I think about it. Thank you for the help.
Hi Tanya. The average size collar for an adult Cairn terrier is 25.4 – 40.6cm (10-16 inches), though this could fluctuate depending on the age and sex of your dog. We would suggest measuring your puppy to find his current size; using a piece of cloth or a shoestring to measure his neck size and adding two inches should give you the perfect fit.
Thank you for replying. I was asking because we are picking him up this weekend and I wanted to be able to put a collar on him for the traveling to his new home with us. I wanted to be able to get him a collar when we pick him up.
We would recommend an X-SM collar, or something around 8-10" for your new puppy, as he may weigh around 8-10 pounds at his current age. It's hard to know without exact weight/measurements what his size is, however. Good luck!
What about the difference between male and female neck sizes? Specifically German Shepherds.
Hi Wayne. Of course your dog's neck size can fluctuate based on their being male or female, with male's typically being slightly larger. An adult German shepherd is usually around 18-24' for a 65-95 pound dog. Based on these averages, we recommend going up (or down) a size depending on where your dog falls. Hope this helps.
I'm adopting a Rhodesian ridgeback/ lab mix in about a week. I'm getting him from a shelter four hours away so I don't know what size collar he needs. I'm wondering if y'all could give me a size estimate as to what size y'all think will fit him? Online he shows two years old but I talked to the actual foster parent and they said he is probably only a year old. Any ideas?
Please add Shetland sheep dog or "Sheltie" to your list of collar sizes and weight.
On average what is a male, three-month old Great Danes neck size (for a collar)?
Hi Casey. Per my research, at three months, a great dane should be: 25-45 lbs and measure 17-23 inches in height. So, they are about 1/4 of the way to their final weight yet already halfway to their final height! So, I would recommend a large collar (1" thick collar that is 16" to 23" in length) for them to grow into over the coming months but eventually (probably in the not too distant future) they will likely need an extra large (24"-30" long).
I am collecting my blue staffy pup on the 7th of August and not sure what size collar to get him. He will be eight weeks when we pick him up, but he is three weeks now and is already 1.5 kilos and is twice as big as his siblings, so he is going to be a big staffy. So not sure how to judge his size.
Hi, I am getting a lab puppy, 7.5 weeks old and I was wondering what collar size will best fit her? Thanks
Hi Seema,
Thanks for the great question. Most collars extend about 6" in length so if you get a medium size collar (generally around 1" wide and 10-16" long), then you should be good for the first couple of months. You might need a larger one as the pup grows. Best wishes and enjoy your new puppy! Send us a photo on our Facebook wall when you have her – we'd love to see her photo on our wall! Thanks!
I am getting a red nose pitbull/ American bulldog puppy that is about 3-4 months old and I didn't know what collar and leash were recommended and also what size to get I was thinking about 16-18 inch that extends but wanted to make sure.
Hi Katie, Thanks for your question. Most collars extend up to about 6" so if you get one that starts around 14-16" as the smallest length, then you should be good as the dog grows. As for the leash, most places will not let you be on premise with a dog unless the leash is 6 feet or less so I would recommend 4-6 feet. Best wishes and congrats on the new pup!
Hi, I am getting a 3 month old female pug and I was wondering what sort of size collar I should be getting her? I guessed maybe 10" or so but that is just a complete guess. Would be great if anyone had any suggestions. Thanks.
We recommend that you get a collar that is adjustable from 10-15" if possible to be sure it can grow with your Pug puppy! Puppies grow very quickly, so don't forget to check the fit of the collar regularly to ensure it is not too tight. Happy puppy time!!
Please add the Whippet to your breed list for neck (collar) size. Thank you.
Thank you for your suggestion. Whippets have been added to our list of standard neck and collar sizes for dogs. Thanks!
I am getting a 9 week old Staffordshire / Rottweiler puppy and wonder if a collar or harness would be better and what size I should get. I want to have him trained in the near future so that he can be certified at some point as a service dog. Thank you Elizabeth
What size collar would you need for a cocker spaniel puppy? She will be about 10 weeks old when we bring her home. Will she need a puppy collar or an adjustable adult collar?
Your puppy's neck will likely be about 12" when you first get her so if you get an adjustable collar that ranges from 12-18" you should be all set for most of her life if she is a standard size. Hope this helps and best wishes for a happy life with your new furry friend!
