How tall?

I got a miniature schnauzer puppy 2 months ago. But I have one question! Mini Schnauzers are supposed to be 12-14 inches high at the withers. Were are the withers?? Please HELP ME!! :rolleyes: :confused:

The withers is the highest point on the back of a non-upright animal, on the ridge between its shoulder blades

That picture pretty much shows you what withers are. Their shoulders.

So, is that how you measure them? :eek:

You would measure them from the floor to the top of their withers, ie shoulderblades.

And, what type of dog food do you feed your dogs, or what do you recommend?
:p
