A Kerry Blue Terrier stands 17.5 to 19.5 in (44 to 50 cm) at the shoulder: males 18 to 19.5 in, females 17.5 to 19 in.
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 18-19.5 inches (male), 17.5-19 inches (female). 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.

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.
