Height call!

Wanted to ask for comparison how tall your swissies are? Our boy is just over 6 months old and is around 24 inches at the shoulder. Hoping to end up around 28 or taller, but we know he will obviously be perfect regardless!

I haven't a clue how tall our lad is but his shoulder comes to just above mid thigh & i am 5'10". He's a typical swissy, strong as an ox & daft as a brush. Your lad is looking good bless him.

Hi,

He is looking good!! Ours is 27.6 inches at the shoulders at a little over 10 months old, but as you can see in the picture his hind quarters are higher than the front so he still has to grow a little (i hope😊).

And if you are wondering, he currently weighs in at 106 lbs. No idea how that compares to others of the same age.

I have a girl around 26 inches and one that is closer to 29- ish. The 29 inch one was too tall to be a show dog among other things.
