How tall is a Dalmatian?

What a Dalmatian’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 19-24 inches. The listing describes an adult dog, not a growth chart for puppies.

Ranked by the tallest height its standard names (24 in), the Dalmatian is the joint 105th tallest of the 297 dog breeds on this site. See the tallest dog breeds ranked.

Drawn at the same 19 in: Working Kelpie, Hamiltonstovare and Hanoverian Scenthound. Same drawing, different listings: a Dalmatian’s, a Working Kelpie’s, a Hamiltonstovare’s and a Hanoverian Scenthound’s figures are 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.
