[QUOTE="Kahuna Burger, post: 3791525, member: 8439"] Um, apparently I wasn't as clear as I thought I was in my request... :confused: Yes, I know bulldogs and greyhounds have different shapes, that's the entire point of the exercise. I am not trying to make a one size fits all pattern, I am making an adjustable pattern from which to make custom coats for individual dogs. The point of asking for these measurements is not to figure out some sort of average size for all dogs* but to figure out if there are consistent ratios within the measurements - if there is a standard ratio between chest to belly length and neck to tail length, and all male dogs have 'placements' 2/3 of the way down their bellies, I don't need to ask for extra measurements to do a all around jacket instead of a horse blanket style. If not then I do. Similarly if distance between legs is a consistent percentage of chest measurement, I only need to ask for one. I'd rather not ask every potential buyer to make all 8 listed measurements of their dog, so the idea was to find out the minimum number I need to make a custom coat. *An idea so mindbogglingly stupid to anyone who has met the smallest sampling of dogs that it was a consious decision not to be insulted by the assumption I was trying. :p [/QUOTE]
