What an Azawakh’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 25-29 inches (male), 23.5-27.5 inches (female). 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 (29 in), the Azawakh is the joint 17th tallest of the 297 dog breeds on this site. See the tallest dog breeds ranked.

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