Measuring a girth

[Woodland]

Do you take into account the buckles or not?

 

[Thistle]

yes, include the buckles

 

[spaniel]

I never do.

 

[Bosworth]

it is really difficult to give you a single answer. Some girths are measured pin to pin, some measure buckle end to buckle end and some measure materiel end to material end. I always measure pin to pin as that is the actual size
