How tall is a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever?

What a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever’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 18-21 inches (male), 17-20 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.

Same drawing, different listings: a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever’s, a Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier’s and an Australian Stumpy Tail Cattle Dog’s figures are each the lower end of its male 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.
