Kip/Boy - Neck-8 1/2 inches, Chest-12 1/4 inches, Length-12 inches
Boss/Boy - Neck-6 1/2 inches, Chest-8 inches, Length-7 inches

wowww...Boss is BIG for his size compared to Gia (ooh she's a precious little thing) and he's got a LOT of growing still to do....which brings me to a question...what about those puppies that still need to grow and will grow out of anything that may be sent to them? Can there be like a stuffed animal or chew toy like option for the little babies? if not that's fine, I just hate to get something for a baby pup and have them grow out of it and not be able to wear it.

Please add the size (XXS, XS, Small, etc.) you usually buy in the store for your pup also. :)

hmmm...I've never bought them clothes before...i'm not sure if it would be XS or XXS...I'm so difficult :( I'm sorry

For Kip, maybe a small? The bad thing about boys is if it's to long, they'll pee on it. It has to come above their privates. But if it's to tight, then it's uncomfy. I think I'd go with a roomy XS, and for Boss an XXS to fit now, or XS if you want it to fit longer. Or were you going to go with a toy or something for him?

Yeah I'm betting a small for Kip and an XS for Boss...I'd rather get him use to clothing at an early age. And if this is going to be a fashion exchange..I'm all for it...we can do a toy or something on the next round :D

I think XS is pretty safe for most Chi's. It may be longer/shorter, loose/or snug on some, but small is usually to big for a Chi. The actual measurements come in to play if someone is having something custom made for you. That's the only way to make sure the outfit will fit.

Meredith, you can play. Just get a Chihuahua stuffed animal and put it's measurements on here. If you got one that will be approx the same size as your real baby. You would get to play now and play dress up later.

Aww you're too sweet! Actually I *think* I do have a set name, and it's one that I've had for a while, none of the ones I've posted, but I don't want to say it and then have it not fit :) It's not a Human type name though, like Sigmund is. I was kind of on the human name trend since Robert started it LOL!

It's ok :) I'll be the name giver-outer and you all can play with this one! :D I'll catch the fun on the next one we do. Hopefully maybe then, my baby will at least be in existence!! ;)

Luke
I cannot measure because all my stuff is packed up, but he is a huge fatty so probably a medium if it runs small and a small if it runs big? He wieghs 10 lbs and is long and tall.

Bianca's measurements are:

9" neck
15" chest
11" topline.

I'm not sure if Bianca's a S or XS. I don't buy much at the store. I think the last thing I bought her she was about the same measurements she is now and it was an XS. Sometimes sizes run different too.

TLI
07-19-2008, 10:50 PM
I think usually there is a size chart on the outfit you are buying so you can have a guideline to go by for each brand. Their measurements will come in handy there too. :)

Chest 14"

Chowder:

having issues finding my measuring tape, If Ivy's Mom has her measurements I am positive my pups are the same size! Izzy's tutu is the same as Ivy's. I buy xxs for Izzy and xs for Chloe at stores like Petsmart and Petco!

TLI
07-20-2008, 04:06 PM
Cassie, I found this in one of Lori's threads. I didn't see a neck measurement. Izzy is 10 inches, and almost 11 inches long. Is this still right for Izzy? I couldn't find Chloe's, sorry.

07-20-2008, 10:34 PM
Crap, I have no idea where my tape measure is. Hm...Roman is 10lbs. I am pretty sure he is a small in stores, but I will look harder for it in the morning.

Hey Lee thanx for the vote of confidence, I really wanna play. Although I haven't measured yet, need to find my tape tonight. :???:

I would like to include both my babies.
Abby: Neck=9"
Chest=14"
Length of back=11"
Usually a size S

Boobie: Neck=11"
Chest=14:
Length of back=13"
Boobie is a bit harder, he's not a medium but not a small, something with lots of stretch will do. :)

Thanks for finding that!

Ok, I couldn't find my soft tape so I used my tape measure, lol.

Neck: 10
Chest: 16.5
Length: 12

I think it is pretty close, lol.

islandbabies
07-24-2008, 04:38 AM
If I don't have one I just use a piece of string since it's easier than using the tape measure in that boxy thing, and measure the string. :)
