How tall is an American Hairless Terrier?

What an American Hairless Terrier’s height measures

Height is measured at the withers, the top of the shoulders. The head and ears extend above that line. The American Kennel Club breed profile gives 12-16 inches. The listing describes an adult dog, not a growth chart for puppies.

Ranked by the tallest height its standard names (16 in), the American Hairless Terrier is the joint 80th smallest of the 297 dog breeds on this site. See the smallest dog breeds ranked.

Drawn at the same 12 in: Drever, Border Terrier and Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Same drawing, different listings: an American Hairless Terrier’s, a Drever’s, a Border Terrier’s and a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel’s figures are each the lower end of its 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.
