The chest girth is a data as valid as the weight. As @Pckts said at equal weight the chest girth between two animals would be equal too. Despite a chest girth is an one D dimension, it gives a 2D dimension indication i.e. the body cross section at the chest level. And now, if you want to estimate the weight (a 3D dimension) you have to take the length into account. But the length over curves, the "unfolded length" and not the length in straight line or the "peg to peg" length.

In the sketch below, between these two different morphologies, which one at equal height would be the longer "over curves" ?
