Out of curiosity, I just measured my 4 adult males, three which I consider good sized and one that is small. Well Surprise, the male I though was the biggest by far was 26 inches along with another one. One was 26 1/2 and the small one was 25 inches. Carriage of head and dogs full of themselves can affect your guess. Be careful what you wish for. I once heard about a 6 month old Akita puppy bitch that lost a major, because she didn't reach the height requirement and was disqualified. -- Ann www.edangsd.com Home of AOE Sel Ex Ch Gilley,Sel Ex Ch Maxwell,Sel Ch Kobe and Sel Ch MmmMmm Good, #1 dam Muggles, Breeder-owner 0f 75 champions and 21 ROMs. Proud receipient of Lloyd Brackett Award ) Yahoo!
