What a Dogue de Bordeaux’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 standard gives Male 23.5 to 27 inches; female 23 to 26 inches. Choose the sex or size variety above where the source separates them. A range describes the published listing, not the height of every individual dog.

Ranked by the tallest height its standard names (27 in), the Dogue de Bordeaux is the joint 47th tallest of the 297 dog breeds on this site. See the tallest dog breeds ranked.

Drawn at the same 23.5 in: Siberian Husky, Bergamasco Sheepdog and Berger Picard. Same drawing, different listings: a Dogue de Bordeaux’s and a Berger Picard’s figures are each the lower end of its male range, a Siberian Husky’s the top 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.
