How tall is a Volpino Italiano?

What a Volpino Italiano’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 10.5-12 inches. The listing describes an adult dog, not a growth chart for puppies.

Ranked by the tallest height its standard names (12 in), the Volpino Italiano is the joint 36th smallest of the 297 dog breeds on this site. See the smallest dog breeds ranked.

Drawn at the same 10.5 in: Sealyham Terrier and Shih Tzu. Same drawing, different listings: a Volpino Italiano’s figure is the lower end of its range, a Shih Tzu’s the top of its range.
