How tall is a Dobermann?

What a Dobermann’s height measures

The American Kennel Club measures height at the withers, the top of the shoulders. Its standard gives 26 to 28 inches for males and 24 to 26 inches for females. The drawing uses the top of the male range.

Ranked by the tallest height its standard names (28 in), the Dobermann is the joint 27th tallest of the 297 dog breeds on this site. See the tallest dog breeds ranked.

Drawn at the same 28 in: Borzoi, Kuvasz and Leonberger. Same drawing, different listings: a Dobermann’s figure is the top of its male range, a Borzoi’s a minimum, a Kuvasz’s and a Leonberger’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.
