How tall is a Chesapeake Bay Retriever?

What a Chesapeake Bay Retriever’s height measures

The American Kennel Club measures height at the withers, the top of the shoulders. Its standard gives 23 to 26 inches for males and 21 to 24 inches for females. The drawing uses the top of the male range.

Ranked by the tallest height its standard names (26 in), the Chesapeake Bay Retriever is the joint 71st tallest of the 297 dog breeds on this site. See the tallest dog breeds ranked.

Drawn at the same 26 in: Sloughi, Akita and Neapolitan Mastiff. Same drawing, different listings: a Chesapeake Bay Retriever’s figure is the top of its male range, a Sloughi’s, an Akita’s and a Neapolitan Mastiff’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.
