How tall is a Yakutian Laika?

What a Yakutian Laika’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 21-23 inches. The listing describes an adult dog, not a growth chart for puppies.

Ranked by the tallest height its standard names (23 in), the Yakutian Laika is the joint 128th tallest of the 297 dog breeds on this site. See the tallest dog breeds ranked.

Drawn at the same 21 in: Bull Terrier, Bracco Italiano and Samoyed. Same drawing, different listings: a Yakutian Laika’s, a Bull Terrier’s and a Bracco Italiano’s figures are each the lower end of its range, a Samoyed’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.
