The following is a reference chart that lists dog breeds by size (in descending order). You may find this information handy if you’re interested in adopting a dog, but discover that your living space or lifestyle restricts the size of the type of dog you may own. We’ve organized these dogs according to the assumption that small weigh between 15 - 25 lbs, medium dogs weigh between 25 - 50 lbs, and large dogs weigh over 50 lbs. Size categories from other references and your vet may differ from what we offer below.
