A Pyrenean Shepherd stands 15 1/2 to 18 1/2 in (39 to 47 cm) at the shoulder (rough-faced males).
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 15.5-18.5 inches (male rough-faced), 15-18 inches (female rough-faced), 15.5-21 inches (male smooth-faced), 15.5-20.5 inches (female smooth-faced). 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 (21 in), the Pyrenean Shepherd is the joint 140th smallest of the 297 dog breeds on this site. See the smallest dog breeds ranked.
Drawn at the same 15.5 in: Grand Basset Griffon Vendéen, Smooth Fox Terrier and Wire Fox Terrier. Same drawing, different listings: a Pyrenean Shepherd’s and a Grand Basset Griffon Vendéen’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.
All 48 herding dogs by height, tallest first, or every dog breed. To compare your own dog, measure it at the withers.
