How tall is a German Longhaired Pointer?

What a German Longhaired Pointer’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 22-28 inches. The listing describes an adult dog, not a growth chart for puppies.

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

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.
