How tall is a Belgian Laekenois?

What a Belgian Laekenois’ 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 24-26 inches (male), 22-24 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 (26 in), the Belgian Laekenois is the joint 71st tallest of the 297 dog breeds on this site. See the tallest dog breeds ranked.

Drawn at the same 24 in: Golden Retriever, Vizsla and Belgian Malinois. Same drawing, different listings: a Belgian Laekenois’ and a Belgian Malinois’ figures are each the lower end of its male range, a Golden Retriever’s and a Vizsla’s each 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.
