What a Plott 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 20-25 inches (male), 20-23 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 Plott Hound is the joint 89th tallest of the 297 dog breeds on this site. See the tallest dog breeds ranked.

Drawn at the same 20 in: Australian Cattle Dog, Chow Chow and Shar Pei. Same drawing, different listings: a Plott Hound’s figure is the lower end of its male range, an Australian Cattle Dog’s the top of its male range, a Chow Chow’s and a Shar Pei’s each the top 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.
