A Boykin Spaniel stands 14 to 18 in (36 to 46 cm) at the shoulder: males 15.5 to 18 in, females 14 to 16.5 in.
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 15.5-18 inches (male), 14-16.5 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 (18 in), the Boykin Spaniel is the joint 91st smallest of the 297 dog breeds on this site. See the smallest dog breeds ranked.
Drawn at the same 15.5 in: Pyrenean Shepherd, Grand Basset Griffon Vendéen and Smooth Fox Terrier. Same drawing, different listings: a Boykin Spaniel’s figure is the lower end of its male range, a Pyrenean Shepherd’s and a Grand Basset Griffon Vendéen’s each the lower end of its 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.
All 51 sporting dogs by height, tallest first, or every dog breed. To compare your own dog, measure it at the withers.
