SIZE

Ideal height   Dogs   45.7 centimetres (18 inches)   Bitches   43.2 centimetres (17 inches)

This statement is very important. The sizes stated are the ideal sizes given that all other factors are equal. Clearly however, an exhibit should not be placed over another purely on size, especially so if one is more correct in breed type, regardless of being either a little smaller or larger than the ideal.
