How tall is a Parson Russell Terrier?

What a Parson Russell 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 inches (male), 13 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 (14 in), the Parson Russell Terrier is the joint 53rd smallest of the 297 dog breeds on this site. See the smallest dog breeds ranked.

Drawn at the same 14 in: Miniature American Shepherd, Staffordshire Bull Terrier and Bulldog. Same drawing, different listings: a Miniature American Shepherd’s figure is the lower end of its male range, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier’s and a Bulldog’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.
