What a Siberian Husky’s height measures

The American Kennel Club measures height at the withers, the top of the shoulders. Its standard gives 21 to 23.5 inches for males and 20 to 22 inches for females. The drawing uses the top of the male range.

Ranked by the tallest height its standard names (23.5 in), the Siberian Husky is the joint 122nd tallest of the 297 dog breeds on this site. See the tallest dog breeds ranked.

Drawn at the same 23.5 in: Bergamasco Sheepdog, Berger Picard and Ibizan Hound. Same drawing, different listings: a Siberian Husky’s figure is the top of its male range, a Berger Picard’s and an Ibizan Hound’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.
