How tall is a West Highland White Terrier?

What a West Highland White Terrier’s height measures

Breed figures describe the breed, not your dog: males usually stand taller, and dogs are measured at the shoulder.

Ranked by the tallest height its standard names (11 in), the West Highland White Terrier is the 26th smallest of the 297 dog breeds on this site. See the smallest dog breeds ranked.

Drawn at the same 11 in: Chinese Crested, Russian Tsvetnaya Bolonka and Schipperke. Same drawing, different listings: a Chinese Crested’s figure is the lower end of its range, a Schipperke’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.
