How tall is a Staffordshire Bull Terrier?

What a Staffordshire Bull 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 14-16 inches. The listing describes an adult dog, not a growth chart for puppies.

Ranked by the tallest height its standard names (16 in), the Staffordshire Bull Terrier is the joint 80th smallest of the 297 dog breeds on this site. See the smallest dog breeds ranked.

Drawn at the same 14 in: Miniature American Shepherd, Parson Russell Terrier and Bulldog. Same drawing, different listings: a Staffordshire Bull Terrier’s and a Bulldog’s figures are each the lower end of its range, a Miniature American Shepherd’s 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.
