How tall is a Brittany?

What a Brittany’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 17.5-20.5 inches. The listing describes an adult dog, not a growth chart for puppies.

Ranked by the tallest height its standard names (20.5 in), the Brittany is the joint 134th smallest of the 297 dog breeds on this site. See the smallest dog breeds ranked.

Drawn at the same 17.5 in: Entlebucher Mountain Dog, Spanish Water Dog and Finnish Spitz. Same drawing, different listings: a Brittany’s figure is the lower end of its range, an Entlebucher Mountain Dog’s, a Spanish Water Dog’s and a Finnish Spitz’s each the lower end 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.
