What classifies as "Medium Weight?" I have a 50lbs Pincher-mutt-mix and I want to know if this is heavy-duty enough for him?

I have a 75lb lab mix on this and it's fine. He doesn't pull much though. I think if your dog is going to be pulling it a lot it won't hold him.

I bought this for my Springer Spaniel. I still have it after several years. I definitely think it can handle a 50lb dog.

I would think so unless he is a real puller. I mean a dog that chases after things like rabbits,etc. Still I think you will have no problem with the cable. It says what weight they usually are on the front of the package I believe. Now that I looked at the cable it says under 50lbs so I believe you would have to go to a heavier cable 50 and over. But they are real nice cables had mine for a long time. Go heavier. Kim Johnson

I wouldn't want to guess at the tensil strength of the cable, but it seems a little light weight for a 50 lb Pincher mix. I would recommend an upgrade to a heavier cable.

Christopher, I don't think I would chance it. I have 2 Morkies, one 6-1/2 pounds and one just under 10 pounds and when they get a full run and hit the end of the tie-out, it stresses it. Not to the point of breaking, but these tie-outs all tend to get old and crack in the sun leaving the cable to rust and I would hate to see your pooch get loose. If I were you, I would get the heavier tie-out for him since he's certainly big enough and strong enough to hold the clip at his collar up. My poor little doggies' clips drag on the ground! I do hope this helps you some. Give your pooch a hug, they all deserve a really good hug any time they can get one! Christopher, I don't think I would chance it.

Entirely up to you, but my 50 pounder enjoys the Large. I could have gotten him the Jumbo but decided on the large. It works well for him.

I believe the medium may be ok for up to 20 lbs. If your pet is an escape artist, however, the shorter height of the medium crate could give your pet an edge of attempting to push the top out of it's snap configuration.

Hi Debbie, I purchased this for my dog who is medium size approx 56 lbs and it was too small for her, but she also has very muscular legs. It may be a little to long for a Pub, but worth a try. Amazon' returns policy is so wonderful and easy that it was no problem returning it when I found out it wouldn't work for my dog. Goodluck

I don't know if this helps but my 50 lb golden mix was also right on the edge od medium/small. I went with sma and there is plenty of room. Medium would have been too large. Also have to say it wears well for a very actice dog that I take hiking regularly and he carries four bottles of water.

I don't think it is too big/heavy. Although it depends on the breed I suppose. Although my dog is full grown, I would have used this on him when he was a pup. My dog is an Olde English Bulldogge.

My pit/rhodesian mix is about 65-70 lbs. as well and the pack might be little big, but I'm able to tighten the straps enough, so it works. Would probably be too big for a 50 lbs dog.

I really wasn't sure, but looked it up on nylabone's website. They consider medium dogs to be up to 35 pounds and large dogs to be up to 50 pounds. They do have a senior dog kit for large dogs, but I don't think Amazon has that one. I did find it on Petsmart's website. Hope this helps.

I have a medium & a large size gentle leader. The large is stating for 60-130 lbs. The X-Large is saying for over 130 lbs. for giant breeds, oversized or large headed dogs. I have a 68 lb hound/lab mix using the large. It works great!

I think the medium would work great for your pup. Mine weighs 11 pounds and can lay down if she wants.

My dogs weigh closer to 50 lbs each, and the medium fits. It would have more to do with the size/shape/length of the dog's muzzle than weight. I would say the medium would work fine on a Border Collie.

I'm not sure if our definitions of heavy are the same. I am satisfied with the quality, it's more than adequate and has worked well at keeping my dog in and others out with no sign of wear.

My dog is a Chow Chow and weighs approx 45 lbs. He fits perfectly when curled up inside.I would not recommend this size house for a dog larger than 50 lbs. Otherwise, this house is good quality, I'm happy with the purchase and I can endorse this product.

I have 2 dogs over 50 lbs and 2 under 10. I have the medium scoop and it works out great for us.

I think the easy walk gives some sizes by weight. I have a 50 lb 10 month old Border Collie he is about as tall as a Lab, I think the medium size would be good if your lab is a bit on the small size. My Border Collie is on the bigger size so I bet that would work for you. Check the site and in the description there was a weight guideline I think. Good Luck you should love this harness. I won't use anything else.

I have a 50lb australian sheppard mix, I thought it would be too small for him but it works fine, he could use a bigger one so I think it would be fine for a smaller dog.

My dog weighs about 26 and I got the medium for him. He's a Scottish Terrier and is stocky. The medium is a little large but not uncomfortably so. If you know what size the Pit Bull was you can sort of go by that. My Amstaff terrier weighed 100 lbs. but he was a purebred. I would think that the extra large would be a better bet. If, however, your dog seems to have small bones and not a large chest, the large would be better.
