Is your dog big/small for the breed?

[vinjashira]

Snowy is quite small for a Jack Russell

here are some comparisons:


Snowy with Pudding


with Thyme


and with Daisy

AW! Snowy your so cute! I would have to say pretty small.

[Pam]

Bella was the second smallest in her litter. Standard poodles can be anything over 15" at the shoulder and she is about 21." My previous standard (RB) was sired by a standard who was 27" at the shoulder.

Ripley is considered a mini because he is over 10" at the shoulder but I would call him either a small mini or a very large toy. My previous mini weighed about 18 lbs. and Ripley is only 14 although has a nice little body.

Well,mine are mixed breeds so i dont really know.

Roxy-Well for her 2 mixes I think she is average, but everybody thinks shes alot bigger than she looks.
Lily-Well...the pom standard is 3-7 pounds and she weighs 4.4 so...I guess shes average!

Murph is big for a Cairn in height and weight. I was trying to find a picture of him and Maddie standing next to each other to show the difference, because she was very close to the standard, but couldn't find one.

Male Collies are suppose to be between 60-75 lbs. I think Oz was 70lbs the last time we were at the vet and Gull was 80lbs. Gull is a lil' on the lean side though. He could fill out a lil' more and I wouldn't consider him overweight. So Oz seems about right and Gull's a lil' on the big side for the breed.

The shmelties are both oversized. The sheltie standard is 13"-16" and Emily is about 17" and Clipse is about 18".

[k9krazee]

Kyra's too small, Mini's average and Micki is too big

Shadow is average, I believe.

And Jack, well, he's too big for a beagle and too little for a lab and the perfect size overall

jess is alittle big for her gender of her breed.

I can't remember what the height limit is for huskies so I'm not sure on that one, though I bet Nebo is too tall, he has long legs. He's within the weight for a male husky (45-60 lbs) weighing in at 60 lbs. So I'd say average to maybe a bit large for the standard.

I'm not sure about the schnauzers I haven't really looked into how tall they are supposed to be or what weight (I don't really care anyway, they are not show dogs) but from the schnauzers I've seen at work they seem to be average size.

[muddy paws]

I say average, and the others are big

[Dawn and the gang]

I have two poms. Gadget my male is AKC registered, but, he's 18 lbs. and no, he's not fat, just big all over.
Gidget, my female, is 7lbs.


So, I'd have to say that even though poms are usually 3-7 lbs. Both of mine are on the larger side of the scale.
