Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| Subject: Puppy Neck Size? Sun May 05, 2013 11:40 am | |
| I have searched through many topics and cannot seem to find one in reference to my question. I am looking up collars on Etsy, and some seem to be a bit pricey, so I want to make sure I get the right size. What is the average neck measurement of an 8 week old female husky puppy? I know they grow fast and the collar won't last long, but I really don't want to spend money on something and get the wrong size. As always, thanks for the help |

| I have Korra's baby collar. She wore it from 8-10 weeks (ish) at the smallest setting which is about 8-9 inches. I bought her a bigger collar with jingle bells (medium sized) that was way too big for her at the time too. But it was super cute, so I just put it on over the smaller one and made sure to clip her leash to the small one (which was a little loose at 8 weeks but not bad) She's 6.5 months now and still fits the jingle bell one. That's another way to go if you've found a collar you really like. Here you can see where her real collar peaked out. Also I believe one member's pup, 8 months, still wears her baby collar, so it depends on how adjustable it is too I guess. Have fun puppy shopping! |

| I got my little guy yesterday at 9 weeks. His collar is 11'-15'. It's adjusted about midway. I had one that was 8'-11' and it was too small. |

| I would definitely think an 8"-12" collar would be too small for a husky puppy. Both my adult chihuahuas wear 8"-12" collars and an 8 week old husky puppy is definitely bigger than a full grown 6 lb chihuahua! _________________ |

| Really? Well, I did measure with the side of my phone, so I'd bet y'all are right. Sorry |
