To calculate the correct size Check Chain for your dog, please measure the diameter around your dog's neck just behind the ears with a tape measure & add 5cm to this measurement; choose a chain that is this size or slightly larger (please note that Sprenger check chains measurements include the end rings). With some dogs the width of the head can present difficulties with fitting your collar (e.g. Bull Terriers), if you are concerned that this may be a problem measure the diameter of the largest part of your dog's head (over the base of the ears) and check that your chosen size of collar is larger.
Sprenger Chainware has a well deserved Worldwide reputation for quality, longevity & affordability - you don't need to settle for second best; to be sure you are buying a genuine Sprenger product look for the quality mark "HS - Germany" stamped into each ring & swivel. Stainless steel, while being a very expensive product, has a significant advantage over normal plated steel chains in its extreme longevity & a small increase in breaking strain; it is an especially advantageous material for use in wet weather, for dogs regularly going into the water & for use close to (or in) the sea.
