How tall is a Basset Fauve de Bretagne?

What a Basset Fauve de Bretagne’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 12.5-15.5 inches. The listing describes an adult dog, not a growth chart for puppies.

Ranked by the tallest height its standard names (15.5 in), the Basset Fauve de Bretagne is the joint 74th smallest of the 297 dog breeds on this site. See the smallest dog breeds ranked.
