Enter Size Acceptable For Your Dog
Choose the widest range of size acceptable for your dog by dragging one or both ends of the two-ended slider shown below so the range you want is under the colored part of the slider. The difference between choosing by general size and choosing by height, and by weight is... tell me more
Using general size takes into consideration both height and weight. Choosing specifically by height or weight evaluates these traits separately and gives different results. For example, choosing by height and weight makes it easier to judge your interest in the short squat Bulldog (14" tall) versus the tall (about 27") slender Afghan Hound both of which weigh about 55 pounds, or the Bulldog as opposed to the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel which is also about 14" tall but only weighs 15 pounds. Why is the height of dogs and other four footed animals usually measured at the top of the shoulder when their head is higher? The reason is the height of the front shoulder changes much less when the animal moves. For example, a dog's head automatically moves lower when it changes from a sitting to a standing position but the height of the top of the shoulder changes very little. Hide this information
