Will the large fit my 86 lb Plott Hound?

I believe it will fit your 86 lb. dog. Our lab is 75 lbs. and we have the harness cinched to almost the smallest size. I think the large harness could handle up to a hundred pounds or more.

I am not familiar with the body type of a Plott Hound. I can tell you that I have a mixed breed husky, very thick coat, who was about 80 pounds when his problems with his back legs became acute. He has always had knee problems and his chest muscles are more developed than those in his hindquarters and legs. We bought the large size, and pretty much have all the adjustments on the smallest setting. I don't know if we could have gotten by with the smaller size, but I'm glad we didn't try.

Yes. I had to google Plot Hound (looks beautiful). I used it for a 144 pound Rottweiler with a very long back. The front part rubs his shoulder and I had to line the back legs with fuzzy socks, but I could not lift him without this harness. It should work fine for your dog once you adjust to his size. I have been using mine for two months and could not get along without this harness! Good luck with your dog.

Hi Kim, The dog that is using the harness is only 41kg, but the harness is very strong and well made so I would say that with the correct adjustment it would lift your dog. However 86kg is very heavy and you don't specify how tall your dog is or the physical capability and height of the person who would be using the harness and these factors would be critical to whether it is suitable to you. My wife, who is 46kg can use the harness but has difficulty obtaining sufficient height to stop the dog's rear paws dragging whereas I have noe issues at all. Hope this is helpful. David

It fits my 95 lb. Aussie. You will just have to adjust it the first time you use it. Remember, the picture is kind of backward. What you see on the left goes on the rear end of the dog.

Yes, the large will definitely fit an 86 lb dog. I used it for a 155 lb very barrel chested great Dane and it could adjust to fit perfectly. I'm positive it could be adjusted to fit the Plot Hound. Good Luck I hope your dog will be ok!

No way the large will fit the Newfie. I have mine on my 80# Doberman and it just fits. The medium fit well on my 50# boxer mix

I have a 57lb boxer mix and he needed a Large. I think this runs small, but there are 2 straps that are adjustable on the backpack, which I did need to shorten up to the smaller end for my dog. You may be okay with the large for your dog at 83lbs since I would think the XL would be for a dog the size of a Newfie or large lab. I hope this helps.

My dog has the same measurements as yours. I got the medium and it fits perfectly.

Hello, yes I believe it will fit a large dog. The collar length is adjustable. My dog is 33lbs and I had to cut off several inches off the collar. I highly recommend this e-collar.

Personality l would get the large. l had to send it back as it would not fit my 66 lb. Boxer. They do not have an xtra large which l think is weird. It's a shame as it is very well made, especially for the price. But l think the large would adjust well.

The medium fit my 45 lb dog very well, the large fits my chocolate lab very well. I think the sizing is accurate in almost all situations.

We have an 89 lb. English Pointer (14 Years Old) with a large barrell chest. We used a large, it gives you plenty of room for adjustments (larger or smaller); fits him fine. A tip on the "leg straps"; we tuck the ends under the metal handle-loops, keeps them out of the way (and clean) when he poos. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Unfortunately I don't have an answer for you. I purchased the extra large for my 75lb dog.

I would check the size chart to be sure. Mine dog is about that size and I think I got a medium..I would check for you but we have misplaced it. The size chart was spot on. Good luck, it works really well.

My dog is a hound and 50lbs, very lean with a broad chest and I got him a large and adjusted the straps accordingly. I believe they had a sizing chart on the site

Most likely, if you get the Large one! That's the size I bought for my 80+ lb. Irish Setter and I think the Medium would have been better suited to him. Do they make an Extra Large?

The manufacturer recommended Large for my dog based on her weight. Fortunately the Large size did fit. Also the Velcro straps can be adjusted to fit the waist. I think if you follow the recommendation it will probably fit in most cases.

If I remember correctly malamutes aren't broadchested, right? I got my 80 lb lab mix a large and I've got 2 1/2 nearly 3 inches until I can't loosen it anymore. The large should suffice, but if she has a larger neck then I would consider an xl

I got my 85 pound lab mix a size XL and it was a perfect fit. I would go by the size chart that they provide to best fit your dog. The coat I got fits my dog perfectly in the body but was a bit loose in the neck so I just extended the velcro closure slightly in order to tighten it more, and it now fits great.

It should, but I'm not completely sure. I bought an XL for our Kelpie (about the size of a Labrador) and it fit perfectly. However, an active dog will require some training along with the muzzle so they don't rip it off. We bought one for our dog to stop her from chewing on everything in the back yard - technically, it worked because she spent most of her time trying to pull it off. Fortunately, it fit perfectly, so once I got it adjusted, she couldn't remove it.
