How tall is a Pharaoh Hound?

What a Pharaoh Hound’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 23-25 inches (male), 21-24 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 (25 in), the Pharaoh Hound is the joint 89th tallest of the 297 dog breeds on this site. See the tallest dog breeds ranked.

Drawn at the same 23 in: Australian Shepherd, Portuguese Water Dog and Briard. Same drawing, different listings: a Pharaoh Hound’s and a Briard’s figures are each the lower end of its male range, an Australian Shepherd’s and a Portuguese Water Dog’s each the top 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.
