Default Dog breeds in order of 'size' - Help needed please!

"Spamfree!" spoke these words of wisdom in
:

Hi Group!

Sorry to trouble you, but I'd appreciate some help. I'm trying to
assemble a list of dog breeds in ascending order of size. I know that
all dogs are different shapes and proportions so it's not always easy to
compare them; I guess I'm aiming for a list which isn't sequenced by
'height', nor by 'volume'; just by common sense.

I've already made an attempt at the majority of the list - these are the
breeds I'd like to be sure are sequenced in the correct order.

Right down the bottom of this posting are a group of breeds which I
can't even guess at; it would be nice to add some/all of these breeds
into the sequenced list but it's not so important.

If you could give me a few minutes to more accurately sequence even just
a section of the list I'd very much appreciate it.

Thanks and regards.
