What a warthog’s height measures

Drawn at the same 1 ft 9.5 in: German Shepherd, Dutch Shepherd and French Spaniel. Same drawing, different listings: a warthog’s, a Dutch Shepherd’s and a French Spaniel’s figures are each the lower end of its range, a German Shepherd’s the lower end of its female 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.
