Measure him standing straight up, sitting on his haunches and most importantly measure the full dimension of the Hamiltonstovare when he is in the most comfortable, relaxed and stretched out position he can get into. Your Hamiltonstovare should be able to gaze out the front door when both sitting and standing. So the Hamiltonstovare will not have to significantly lower his front shoulders or scrape his tummy, make sure that entrance is high enough.
