Old English Sheepdog size chart: crate, harness & collar
What the published charts say for a Old English Sheepdog, 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: open-ended upper bound (e.g. "& up", "minimum", "over"): max is null.

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 Old English Sheepdog
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 Old English Sheepdog
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 Old English Sheepdog: 19.7 to 21.7 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 Old English Sheepdog size chart

Common questions
- What size harness for a Old English Sheepdog?
- On the charts published by their makers, a Old English Sheepdog comes out at Julius-K9 IDC Powerharness 1 to 3 (3 sizes), Kurgo Tru-Fit Smart Harness (quick release) Large or X-Large, PetSafe Easy Walk Harness Medium / Large to Extra Large (3 sizes) (by weight only, which is the weaker route), with 6 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 Old English Sheepdog?
- By the makers' own weight guidance, a Old English Sheepdog comes out at MidWest Homes for Pets iCrate Single Door Folding Dog Crate 36-inch to 48-inch (3 sizes), MidWest Homes for Pets LifeStages Single Door Dog Crate 36-inch to 48-inch (3 sizes), Petmate Sky Kennel 36" to 48" (3 sizes). 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 Old English Sheepdog get?
- An adult Old English Sheepdog is 22 in and up tall at the shoulder for males and 21 in and up for females, 60–100 lb. Published sizing charts give a neck of 19.7–21.7 in. These are breed-standard ranges, not your dog: individual dogs sit outside them. Measure your dog.
