Dog breeds in order of 'size' - UPDATED UPDATED LIST!
Hi all!
Thanks for your help - sorry to have inadvertently started the Norwich and Staffordshire Wars. (It was good fun watching though!) Many posts pose the suggestion that if I could reveal the purpose for the list it may be easier to offer helpful responses. Unfortunately, if I reveal the purpose of the list I shall be shot down in flames! Without getting near (I hope) to flaming territory I can reveal that the list I'm preparing is a list of dog breeds which are suitable for a series of five sizes of dog attire, the suitability mainly - but not exclusively - determined by the chest size; sometimes the overall size of the dog (eg, a daschund, or a whippet) is a more substantial factor than the chest size. Hence the indeterminable factor of 'size'. Any more comments gratefully received. _______________________________________ Here's where I am with my 'size' list: Chihuahua Pomeranian Papillon Havanese Maltese Yorkshire Terrier Chinese Crested Lhasa Apso Maltese Toy Fox Terrier Bichon Frise Toy Poodle Toy Manchester Terrier Pekingese Shih Tzu French Bulldog Miniature Dachshund Brussels Griffon Hungarian Puli Miniature Pinscher Silky Terrier Dandie Dinmont Terrier Standard Manchester Terrier Miniature Bull Terrier Australian Terrier King Charles Cavalier Spaniel Cairn Terrier Scottish Terrier Skye Terrier West Highland White Terrier Norfolk Terrier Norwich Terrier Sealyham Terrier Boston Terrier Italian Greyhound Welsh Corgi Miniature Schnauzer Pug Miniature Poodle Standard Dachshund Jack Russell Terrier Parson Russell Terrier Border Terrier Lakeland Terrier Patterdale Terrier Smooth Haired Fox Terrier Wire Haired Fox Terrier Welsh Terrier Bedlington Terrier Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier Irish Terrier Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen Pembroke Welsh Corgi Whippet Beagle Samoyed Chinese Shar-Pei English Cocker Spaniel American Cocker Spaniel Border Collie Saluki Bulldog American Eskimo Dog American Bulldog Kerry Blue Terrier Pharaoh Hound Bearded Collie American Pit Bull Terrier Staffordshire Bull Terrier Poodle American Staffordshire Terrier Brittany Spaniel Keeshund Wire Haired Pointing Griffon Bull Terrier Norwegian Elkhound Basset Hound Shetland Sheepdog Irish Water Spaniel American Water Spaniel Vizsla Standard Schnauzer Sussex Spaniel Welsh Springer Spaniel English Springer Spaniel Chow Chow Clumber Spaniel English Foxhound American Foxhound Australian Cattle Dog Australian Shepherd Siberian Husky English Setter Chesapeake Bay Retriever Dalmatian Portuguese Water Dog Boxer Alaskan Malamute Flat Coated Retriever Smooth Coated Collie Rough Coated Collie Airedale Terrier Pointer Irish Setter Catahoula Leopard Dog Golden Retriever Ibizan Hound Afghan Hound Labrador Retriever Weimaraner Doberman Pinscher Greyhound Akita Borzoi Giant Schnauzer Rhodesian Ridgeback Bullmastiff Black and Tan Coonhound Belgian Sheepdog Belgian Malinois Belgian Tervuren Scottish Deerhound German Shepherd Dog Old English Sheepdog Rottweiler Great Pyrenean Mountain Dog Otterhound Bernese Mountain Dog Neapolitan Mastiff Irish Wolfhound Newfoundland Greater Swiss Mountain Dog Bloodhound Saint Bernard Great Dane Mastiff

These dogs are usually 100-160 lb, and can be over 200 lb. http://www.asdca.org/ http://www.yorukanatolian.com/index.html http://www.anatoliandog.org/ukc.htm Paul and Muttley

Dog breeds in order of 'size' - UPDATED UPDATED LIST!

Hence the indeterminable factor of 'size'. Any more comments gratefully received. _______________________________________ With Chest diameter a factor, this list needs to be seriously revised. Corgi's are big dogs on short legs. Size deceiving English Bulldogs are MASSIVE in the chests. Elkhounds have round barrel bodies.. and wear the same size harness as many slab sided German shepherds.. Yet their body length is so short coupled, that they ALWAYS have to have the harness length taken in across the back. So probably you need to have the customer measure chest width and back length, and then determine size based on the range of sizes you offer.

Dog breeds in order of 'size' - Help needed please!
ALASKAN MALAMUTES can range anywhere from 75 to 170lbs. My male weighed in
at a hefty 150lbs. and he was truley a gentle giant "Judy" wrote in message ... "Judy" wrote in message ... A 13 inch female beagle would vary greatly from a 15 inch male. Both could be in great shape and well within the standard but it would be impossible to place them on a list where two inches and seen pounds makes a world of difference. That's SEVEN pounds. Judy

From the AKC: " There is a natural range in size in the breed. The desirable freighting sizes are males, 25 inches at the shoulders, 85 pounds; females, 23 inches at the shoulders, 75 pounds". There are unfortunately many unscrupulous breeders out there, advertising so-called Giant Mals that fall significantly outside the desirable size ranges. Suja

Include in that the wonderful 120 pound female, easily 26", who comes to my house. Not quite 3 years old, she's being treated for arthritis. -- --Matt. Rocky's a Dog.
