It helps to stand the dog near a wall, with the yardstick against the wall, and then another ruler to put at the withers to see exactly how tall the dog is.

If the dog is coated, allow for coat.

The red line on this image goes through the withers on the dog on the right. It is slightly below the withers on the dog on the left.

Thank you so much for this drawing. I pretty much knew where I was supposed to measure but just never for sure. Now I'll have to try and take some time to measure and weigh them. Like I told Anna on the phone I'm a bit embarrassed to post Tori's weight...lol. Compared to the other huskies on here she is sooooo fat..lol. I'm embarrassed for my little girl. The doc is constantly telling me that she isn't, that it is just the way she is built but I stilll think she is fat..lol. She takes after her mama
