What an Alaskan Malamute’s height measures

Breed figures describe the breed, not your dog: males usually stand taller, and dogs are measured at the shoulder.

Ranked by the tallest height its standard names (25 in), the Alaskan Malamute is the joint 89th tallest of the 297 dog breeds on this site. See the tallest dog breeds ranked.

Drawn at the same 25 in: German Shorthaired Pointer, Saarloos Wolfhond and Azawakh. Same drawing, different listings: a German Shorthaired Pointer’s figure is the top of its male range, a Saarloos Wolfhond’s and an Azawakh’s each the lower end of its male range.

This is a published species or breed reference, not a prediction for an individual animal. Where a range is supplied, both ends appear with the reading. Shoulder height and head height are kept apart when comparing animals.
