I measured Marley he is 8 1/2 months old and 15" high & 22" across, dose that seem small to anyone?? I am looking at everyones pictures and Marley looks mini! lol.
 
I don't think that is small for one that is 8 1/2 months. The breed standard is between 12 and 16 inches at full growth.
 
Layla is 15 inches; Annie is 15 inches, and Bits is three feet. :eek2: No, just kidding, but she is at least 19 inches.
 
Height

Shadow is 16 7/8ths at the shoulder wich is to big for Sheltie standards but great for agility because when he goes to Germany in 2 weeks he has to jump ISC height wich is 18 inches but AKC he jumps 16 inches.:biggrin2:

The Shetland Sheepdog should stand between 13 and 16 inches at the shoulder. Note: Height is determined by a line perpendicular to the ground from the top of the shoulder blades, the dog standing naturally, with forelegs parallel to line of measurement.

Hope this helps you.

Why is that a good thing? Doesn't a higher jump height make it more difficult for your dog?
