Which breeds fit each size
Placing each breed by the top of its standard adult weight, as a bed should fit the larger dogs of the breed:
| Size | Breeds | Breeds whose top weight falls in the band |
|---|---|---|
| Small (up to 40 lb) | 55 | Chihuahua (6 lb), Poodle (Toy) (6.5 lb), Yorkshire Terrier (7 lb), Pomeranian (7 lb), Maltese (9 lb), Papillon (9 lb), Brussels Griffon (10 lb) and 48 more |
| Medium (40–60 lb) | 18 | Brittany (40 lb), Whippet (40 lb), Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier (40 lb), Kerry Blue Terrier (40 lb), Boykin Spaniel (40 lb), American Eskimo Dog (40 lb), Keeshond (44 lb) and 11 more |
| Large (60–90 lb) | 36 | Siberian Husky (60 lb), English Springer Spaniel (60 lb), Portuguese Water Dog (60 lb), Chinese Shar-Pei (60 lb), Afghan Hound (60 lb), Dalmatian (60 lb), Bearded Collie (60 lb) and 29 more |
| X-Large (90–120 lb) | 9 | Chow Chow (90 lb), Beauceron (99 lb), Doberman Pinscher (100 lb), Old English Sheepdog (101 lb), Borzoi (105 lb), Giant Schnauzer (105 lb), Cane Corso (110 lb) and 2 more |
Above 120 lb the Deep Dish chart stops: Akita (American) (100–130 lb), Bullmastiff (110–130 lb), Black Russian Terrier (110–130 lb), Rottweiler (110–132 lb), Greater Swiss Mountain Dog (90–140 lb), Anatolian Shepherd Dog (110–150 lb), Neapolitan Mastiff (about 150 lb), Tibetan Mastiff (90–150 lb) and 6 more. For those dogs the X-Large at 50 × 37 in is the largest Deep Dish bed charted, and the rectangle chart's open-ended X-Large (53 × 35 in) is the bigger option.
Deep Dish against the rectangle bed
At the same dog weight, the Deep Dish and the plain rectangle bed from the same fit guide are not the same footprint. For a dog just inside the top of each Deep Dish band:
| Dog weight | Deep Dish | Rectangle | Difference in floor area |
|---|---|---|---|
| 39 lb | Small, 35½ × 25½ in (905 sq in) | Small, 28 × 18 in (504 sq in) | +80% |
| 59 lb | Medium, 40 × 26½ in (1060 sq in) | Medium, 36 × 24 in (864 sq in) | +23% |
| 89 lb | Large, 44 × 31 in (1364 sq in) | Large, 43 × 29 in (1247 sq in) | +9% |
| 119 lb | X-Large, 50 × 37 in (1850 sq in) | X-Large, 53 × 35 in (1855 sq in) | 0% |
In 3 of the 4 bands the Deep Dish gives more floor than the rectangle bed for the same dog. Part of a shaped bed's footprint is taken by its raised edge, so the area a dog lies on is smaller than length times width; a dog that sleeps stretched out needs its nose-to-tail length plus a few inches of flat surface, measured as for a crate.
Worked examples
- Chihuahua, standard adult weight 3–6 lb: the Small Deep Dish (35½ × 25½ in), against the Small rectangle bed.
- Weimaraner, standard adult weight 66–88 lb: the Large Deep Dish (44 × 31 in), against the Large rectangle bed.
- Akita (American), standard adult weight 100–130 lb: heavier than the top Deep Dish band; the largest is the X-Large (50 × 37 in), against the X-Large rectangle bed.
Puppies chew; a cheap bed in the adult size, or a folded blanket in the crate, gets most dogs through the chewing phase before the long-term bed goes down. All the bed charts are on the dog bed size page, next to the crate and feeding pages for each breed.
