 Hi Snowy, congrats on winning the new Pleo, I knew it was just a matter of time, I meausred one of myne and it is approx 8 1/2 inches to 9 inches so anything in that general area will do.  Sending love and hugs (:   RWM

Hi Snowy, was it a Pleo listed on a UK site? If so that is good you wont' have all the extra shipping charges. I am so happy for you. Happy knitting!          RWM

I always go for 8-9" back length when buying doggie clothes, but even too short 6/7" is fine as it looks cute! :D

rwm, yes, i got the pleo in the uk, there arent a great deal on ebay at the mo, about 14 items that includes new pleos (ugobe) and various batteries.

crewella, thanks, i will look for those measurements when i look for clothes, do i need to look at measurements to go around the chest?

They're about 13.5" around the middle, if I remember right - I usually buy stuff in a slightly stretchy fabric like t-shirts just in case.  Also watch out for sleeves and armholes - Pleos have much fatter legs and ankles (sorry Belle :P) than dogs do, so make sure any sleeves are wide or very stretchy, or opt for vests and sleeveless garments.   The necks on dog clothes will more than likely be a bit too big, but at least won't cause a problem. :)

....... or buy Pleo clothes! ;) :P
