What a Vizsla’s height measures

The American Kennel Club measures height at the withers, the top of the shoulders. Its standard gives 22 to 24 inches for males and 21 to 23 inches for females. The drawing uses the top of the male range.

Ranked by the tallest height its standard names (24 in), the Vizsla is the joint 105th tallest of the 297 dog breeds on this site. See the tallest dog breeds ranked.

Drawn at the same 24 in: Golden Retriever, Belgian Laekenois and Belgian Malinois. Same drawing, different listings: a Vizsla’s and a Golden Retriever’s figures are each the top of its male range, a Belgian Laekenois’ and a Belgian Malinois’ 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.
