How tall is a Carolina Dog?

What a Carolina Dog’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 17.75-19.5 inches. The listing describes an adult dog, not a growth chart for puppies.

Ranked by the tallest height its standard names (19.5 in), the Carolina Dog is the joint 110th smallest of the 297 dog breeds on this site. See the smallest dog breeds ranked.
