How tall is a Portuguese Podengo Pequeno?

What a Portuguese Podengo Pequeno’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 8-12 inches. The listing describes an adult dog, not a growth chart for puppies.

Ranked by the tallest height its standard names (12 in), the Portuguese Podengo Pequeno is the joint 36th smallest of the 297 dog breeds on this site. See the smallest dog breeds ranked.

Drawn at the same 8 in: Dandie Dinmont Terrier, Teddy Roosevelt Terrier and Japanese Chin. Same drawing, different listings: a Portuguese Podengo Pequeno’s, a Dandie Dinmont Terrier’s, a Teddy Roosevelt Terrier’s and a Japanese Chin’s figures are 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.
