How To Measure For A Dog Bed

-Does your dog prefer to curl up or stretch out?

NOTE: These weight to size orderings are as accurate as the next prediction of the stock market, weather report or ....well, enough said here. Our Weimaraner uses a space from the size of a small seating chair to a nine foot couch. And if we don’t monitor him carefully enough, he will migrate to a California King size mattress in one of our bedrooms for napping or trampoline pouncing, depending on his mood. So the above guidelines only applies to our house 40% of the time.
