What a Lakeland Terrier’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 14.5-15 inches (male), slightly smaller (female). The listing describes an adult dog, not a growth chart for puppies.

Ranked by the tallest height its standard names (15 in), the Lakeland Terrier is the joint 61st smallest of the 297 dog breeds on this site. See the smallest dog breeds ranked.

Drawn at the same 14.5 in: Cocker Spaniel and Shetland Sheepdog. Same drawing, different listings: a Lakeland Terrier’s and a Cocker Spaniel’s figures are each the lower end of its male range.

  • Wolverine: 36 to 45 cm (1 ft 2 in to 1 ft 5.5 in).

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.
