How tall is a Black Russian Terrier?

What a Black Russian 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 27-30 inches (male), 26-29 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 (30 in), the Black Russian Terrier is the joint 10th tallest of the 297 dog breeds on this site. See the tallest dog breeds ranked.

Drawn at the same 27 in: Afghan Hound, Bloodhound and Bullmastiff. Same drawing, different listings: a Black Russian Terrier’s figure is the lower end of its male range, an Afghan Hound’s the top of its range, a Bloodhound’s and a Bullmastiff’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.
