Abstract
The article is devoted to the design of vests for service dogs. Vests for dogs of various designs are widely used by private owners of dogs, and special services, in particular, the cynological units of the police. At the same time, the working conditions of service dogs ànd ordinary dogs are different. There is a need for designing vests, the design of which would meet the purpose and conditions of use of service dogs. However, today the subject of most popular and scientific sources is devoted to designing clothes for dogs, without taking into account the specifics of their use and the typical dimensional features of breeds of service dogs. In this article, the authors determine the initial requirements for the design of vests for service dogs, consider the design features of existing vests, lead to a system of their sizes. The study of the initial requirements for the design of vests was carried out by an analytical method and a method of observation. When determining the main sizes of service dogs of different breeds, an instrumental method was used (measurements were made using a centimeter tape 2000 mm). The structural features of the vests and the basic sizes of the vests are determined by means of analysis and comparison methods, and also by the instrumental method. The experimental sample of the vest for service dogs is made using modern sewing equipment. Dynamic compliance of the sample is determined by method of modeling the situation. Scientific novelty consists in certain basic dimensional features for the design of vests for service dogs, as well as in determining the dependence of the size of vests on the breed, age and sex of the dog. Based on the conducted experiments (measurements of dogs of service breeds), the authors conclude that it is inexpedient to design a universal waistcoat of uniform size and emphasize the need to design waistcoats in different sizes. The practical significance of the study is the development of an experimental vest sample for service dogs. The conclusions contain the initial requirements for the design of vests for service dogs, determined by the authors. The materials of the article can be used to improve the process of designing clothes for official dogs of cynological units of the National Police of Ukraine.
