How tall is an Italian Greyhound?

What an Italian Greyhound’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 13-15 inches. The listing describes an adult dog, not a growth chart for puppies.

Ranked by the tallest height its standard names (15 in), the Italian Greyhound is the joint 60th smallest of the 297 dog breeds on this site. See the smallest dog breeds ranked.

Drawn at the same 13 in: French Bulldog, Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen and Jagdterrier. Same drawing, different listings: an Italian Greyhound’s, a Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen’s and a Jagdterrier’s figures are each the lower end of its range, a French Bulldog’s the top 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.
