What a Norwegian Lundehund’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 (male), 12-14 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.

Ranked by the tallest height its standard names (15 in), the Norwegian Lundehund is the joint 61st 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: a Norwegian Lundehund’s figure is the lower end of its male range, a French Bulldog’s the top of its range, a Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen’s and a Jagdterrier’s each the lower end 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.
