How tall is an Estrela Mountain Dog?

What an Estrela Mountain 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 24.5-29 inches. The listing describes an adult dog, not a growth chart for puppies.

Ranked by the tallest height its standard names (29 in), the Estrela Mountain Dog is the joint 17th tallest of the 297 dog breeds on this site. See the tallest dog breeds ranked.

Drawn at the same 24.5 in: Bouvier des Flandres, Irish Red and White Setter and Slovakian Wirehaired Pointer. Same drawing, different listings: an Estrela Mountain Dog’s figure is the lower end of its range, a Bouvier des Flandres’, an Irish Red and White Setter’s and a Slovakian Wirehaired Pointer’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.
