I have a full-grown German Shepherd with a 20" sized neck (I did the measurements correctly). He has long fur. Should I buy the medium or the large?

Hi sherry, we bought the large for our malamute but the trainer had advised going smaller because the large gives too much room and if your dog lunges at something strong enough he could snap the saftey clip. Go with the medium and be sure that it fits snug enough where the collar doesnt fall further than behind his ears. Hope this helps.:)

My GSD has a 17" neck. I went with the medium and removed 3-4 links and it fits like a glove.

the prongs are removable either way you can add or subtract links, try large and remove as necessary

Get the Medium.. you may still end up taking out a link or two to get it right :)

If you are on the fence I would go with the large. You can always remove prongs to make it smaller if need be.

I also have a big boy GSD. I would buy big just in case. You can always take as many links out as you need to fit it properly.

I'd say a medium. My dog has a 16 inch neck and a medium fits her very well.

My dog is 46 lbs, with a 17" neck and 28" girth. We use the Medium, have it on her loosely and have about an inch to spare on letting it out. A large would be too big for her. We have also used it for our 55 lb, 18" neck and 29" girth boy.Hope that helps!

We have a german shepherd (who has med. length hair) who is probably currently around 50 lb and we have the large... I like having the larger size as it is wider.

I purchased an small and my dachshund weighs 10 #. It fit around her body ok but neck was too big. I might suggest a medium. (but I'm not an expert)

I think you'll find the Medium is a good size. I have a Yorkshire Terrier about the same length from neck to tail but only about 13 pounds. She is covered across the back but the girth is a little big. The velcro strap gives enough 'shrinkage' to make it work though.

We got the medium for our American Eskimo who has thick fur and it is slightly big for him. He weighs 30lbs. For a 16 lb pup, I would definitely go with the small.

I bought the large for a 100 pound German shepherd and it took the 2 of them months to chew it down. I would say a medium for your size dog.

My brother has an adult German Shepherd and has the XL size. Fits her fine. The Large was too small for her.

Hi,For sizing, we suggest to measure snugly pet's neck size and add 2-3 inches to get the proper length. If the neck size is 12 1/2", we will suggest Medium size. Thank you!Amazon Seller: DogCollars

I have a 186lb English Mastiff and have the XL. My ex-wifes English Bulldog is only 60lbs. So splitting the differance, I would go with the medium.

If your dogs neck is 18 inches you should probably consider going with a large. My dogs neck is 14 inches and there is no room for growth, so a large is definitely the way to go for your dog.

I have a corgi and got the medium. My son has a mastiff and the large works on her shorter hair.

hi, I would probably recommend a medium. I ordered a large to fit a 65lbs golden doodle and that worked out well. the large would definitely be to big for your dog. how much will he/she weigh when it is full grown?

I think I would go with the small. I have 2 dogs, one has a small, the other a medium. The measurement is at the base of the neck, NOT the one up by the ears. The larger of my two [got the M] has 15 1/2 in neck at the lower point, and there is a LONG amount of collar-tail left over once it was fitted to him. The M is heavier / wider 'stuff' as well. My smaller one is a strong-willed loud-screaming male, and he was well-controlled with this. As a side note, I still swap back with an older gentle leader [head type] for ease/speed of use much of the time.

Probably go up in size. This size is for a more medium size neck. The larger one would probably serve your Rottie more fittingly.

I would get the X-large one just to make sure there's plenty of room. But, yes, it will fit a full grown German Shepard. We've been very happy w/ ours. It's durable and weather-resistant. (it has been in way below zero weather up to 100 + degrees weather)
