How tall is a Silken Windhound?

What a Silken Windhound’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 18.5-23.5 inches. The listing describes an adult dog, not a growth chart for puppies.

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

Drawn at the same 18.5 in: Braque Francais Pyrenean, Standard Schnauzer and Kai Ken. Same drawing, different listings: a Silken Windhound’s and a Braque Francais Pyrenean’s figures are each the lower end of its range, a Standard Schnauzer’s and a Kai Ken’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.
