Frequently Asked Questions
How do I measure dog height?
Stand dog on level surface. Measure from ground to top of shoulder (withers). Stiff ruler or measuring tape. Some variation by posture; measure 2–3 times.

Joint disease, diabetes, reduced lifespan (6–12 months). Hip dysplasia worse. Obesity common (60% of dogs overweight). Diet control + exercise essential.
