How tall is a Smooth Fox Terrier?

What a Smooth Fox Terrier’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 15½ inches. The listing describes an adult dog, not a growth chart for puppies.

Ranked by the tallest height its standard names (15.5 in), the Smooth Fox Terrier is the joint 74th smallest of the 297 dog breeds on this site. See the smallest dog breeds ranked.

Drawn at the same 15.5 in: Pyrenean Shepherd, Grand Basset Griffon Vendéen 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.
