What an American Leopard Hound’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 22 - 27 males, 21 - 25 females. Choose the sex or size variety above where the source separates them. A range describes the published listing, not the height of every individual dog.

Ranked by the tallest height its standard names (27 in), the American Leopard Hound is the joint 47th tallest of the 297 dog breeds on this site. See the tallest dog breeds ranked.

Drawn at the same 22 in: Whippet, Bouvier des Ardennes and Old English Sheepdog. Same drawing, different listings: an American Leopard Hound’s and a Bouvier des Ardennes’ figures are each the lower end of its male range, a Whippet’s the top of its male range, an Old English Sheepdog’s a minimum.

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.
