Lhasa Apso size chart: crate, harness & collar
What the published charts say for a Lhasa Apso, across 19 harnesses, 6 crates and 7 collars. Every answer says how it was reached, and none of them replaces measuring your dog.
Note: AKC gives one weight range for both sexes; copied to male and female.
Note: Height: part of the AKC text is non-numeric (e.g. "proportionate", "slightly smaller"): that value is null.

These are published breed figures, not your dog. Measure your dog — chest girth for a harness, neck for a collar, length and height for a crate.

Rows marked “by weight only” had no published girth to work from, so the maker’s weight bands were used. That is the weaker route, and two dogs of the same weight can need different sizes.
Where a size reads as a span, the breed’s published range reaches across that many of the maker’s sizes. This site shows the span rather than choosing one for you.

Puppy?
Size for the adult and use a divider. A crate bought to fit a puppy is outgrown in weeks, and a crate with a spare end stops working as a den. Buy the adult size and move the divider back as the dog grows. A harness or collar is the opposite: buy for the dog you have now, because adult-sized straps slip on a puppy.
Is your dog a mix?
Mixes vary a lot. Measure your dog. A breed figure describes a published standard, and a mix is not held to one. Two dogs from the same litter can land two sizes apart on the same chart.
Measure your Lhasa Apso
The tables above start from a published breed range. This starts from your dog. Crates need a body length and a standing height, plus 4 in of room.
Size your Lhasa Apso
Enter what you have measured. Every answer below is the maker’s own published range against your number — a starting point, not a fitting.
Published range for the Lhasa Apso: 13.4 to 17.7 in neck (TARIGS, "Size table for different breeds").
Measure your dog and enter it. A published range is a range: the boxes below stay empty because the middle of a range is a number nobody published. Full Lhasa Apso size chart

Sizes come from each maker’s own published chart. Check the maker’s current chart before you buy: charts change, and nothing here is a guarantee of fit.
Common questions
- What size harness for a Lhasa Apso?
- On the charts published by their makers, a Lhasa Apso comes out at Julius-K9 IDC Powerharness Mini-Mini or Mini, Kurgo Tru-Fit Smart Harness (quick release) Small, PetSafe Easy Walk Harness Petite / Small or Small (by weight only, which is the weaker route), with 7 of 19 charts giving a size. Size labels are not comparable between brands, so read the range rather than the letter. Measure your dog's chest girth at the widest part of the rib cage and check it against the maker's own chart before you buy.
- What size crate for a Lhasa Apso?
- By the makers' own weight guidance, a Lhasa Apso comes out at MidWest Homes for Pets iCrate Single Door Folding Dog Crate 22-inch or 24-inch, MidWest Homes for Pets LifeStages Single Door Dog Crate 24-inch, Petmate Sky Kennel 21". Weight is the rougher route: a crate is sized on the body. Measure your dog from the nose to the base of the tail and from the floor to the top of the head while standing, add 4 inches to each, and compare that with the crate's interior, not its outside.
- How big does a Lhasa Apso get?
- An adult Lhasa Apso is 10–11 in tall at the shoulder for males and — for females, 12–18 lb. Published sizing charts give a neck of 13.4–17.7 in. These are breed-standard ranges, not your dog: individual dogs sit outside them. Measure your dog.
