Measure him standing straight up, resting on his haunches and above all measure the full dimension of the Cirneco Dell’Etna when he is in the most comfortable, relaxed and stretched out position he can get into. Your Cirneco Dell’Etna should be able to peer out the front entrance while both standing up and sitting.

Stand over the Cirneco Dell’Etna and measure the breadth of the widest point of the Cirneco Dell’Etna’s shoulders.
