Are you curious as to why some breeds fall into more than one size category?
The Komondor, for example found on this Dog Breeds List K can weigh between 80 and 130 pounds, with the females being slightly smaller.
This puts them right on the border between large and giant.
In many breeds, especially the larger ones, the size range can vary widely. These sizes are just an estimate and a way to categorize breeds based on average sizes.
Did I Miss a Breed that Should be on this Dog Breeds List K?
With so many dog breeds in this world, there is a good chance I may have omitted one. First of all, I will apologize for that omission, especially if your dog was the one I forgot. Secondly, won’t you take the time to send me a quick note, letting me know what dog breed should be on this page?
I sincerely appreciate your time and will get the breed information up as quickly as possible.
