How tall is a Silky Terrier?

What a Silky Terrier’s height measures

Height is measured at the withers, the top of the shoulders. The head and ears extend above that line. The Fédération Cynologique Internationale standard gives Male 23–26 cms; female can be slightly less, no numerical female range. The listing describes an adult dog, not a growth chart for puppies.

Ranked by the tallest height its standard names (10 in), the Silky Terrier is the 15th smallest of the 297 dog breeds on this site. See the smallest dog breeds ranked.

Drawn at the same 9 in: Domestic cat, Dachshund and Norfolk Terrier. Same drawing, different listings: a Silky Terrier’s figure is the lower end of its male range, a domestic cat’s and a Norfolk Terrier’s each the lower end of its range, a Dachshund’s the top 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.
