What is average height?

So I measured Laika so I can compare her size with a Newfoundland (see if he would fit in my dog door) she is 27 inches at the withers. That seems tall. That is a little smaller than what the say for a Newfoundland. Thanks!

one of mine is 27" at the withers. He is actually maybe a tad taller at the the withers than the newf since he is still growing - the newf size is bulk and lenght - they are not square compact (relative I guess) dogs.
Chewie is right around 24". I haven't measured him in awhile - thanks for the reminder!
I will have to remember that when I am home from work tonight.
Ru is 25" at the withers ... if I measured it right :lol:
wow Laika is tall.
Archie is 26"
My girl Rags is 26 1/2"
My little boy Pepsi 23 1/2"
Violet is 26".
I just took a more exact measurement of both y guys. Marley is just over 22"; organ is about 25" (he is taller than the quilting ruler I was using for a measuring device so that isn't as exact as I would like). As I said B is approximately the same height.
I measured Chewie - he is 24.5 "
Guess he grew a half inch since last time. :wink:
duffy is 26 while dreamer is 22" he is only 5 months old
remeasured... her hair was sticking up. She's 27" exactly
My goodness where did all these tall girls come from!!!!
Are you guys sure you're measuring to the right spot? Sometimes the point of the shoulder is kind of hard to find. 27" for a female is gigantic. Clyde is probably one of the biggest OES you'll ever see (and not just fat ;)) and he's only 27" at the withers.
Yep! I've always been told Yuki was very tall. Both of us have measured a few times now. She's always towered over sheepies we saw at shows although never came close to their weights.
