How tall is a Pug?

What a Pug’s height measures

Breed figures describe the breed, not your dog: males usually stand taller, and dogs are measured at the shoulder.

Ranked by the tallest height its standard names (12 in), the Pug is the joint 33rd smallest of the 297 dog breeds on this site. See the smallest dog breeds ranked.

Drawn at the same 12 in: Miniature Schnauzer, Beaver and Coati. Same drawing, different listings: a Miniature Schnauzer’s and a beaver’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.
