How tall is a Portuguese Pointer?

What a Portuguese Pointer’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 20.5-22 inches. The listing describes an adult dog, not a growth chart for puppies.

Ranked by the tallest height its standard names (22 in), the Portuguese Pointer is the joint 140th tallest of the 297 dog breeds on this site. See the tallest dog breeds ranked.

Drawn at the same 20.5 in: Barbado da Terceira, Bohemian Shepherd and Small Munsterlander. Same drawing, different listings: a Portuguese Pointer’s and a Small Munsterlander’s figures are each the lower end of its range, a Barbado da Terceira’s and a Bohemian Shepherd’s 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.
