Well, 60 lbs is the biggest non-obese border collie I've ever heard of! He does seem big.
My dog is short. And heavy. Lol. He's about 13-14 inches high, and around 22 lbs. He should probably be about 18 or 19 lbs. He's overweight, but even before he became overweight, he was a stocky little bugger.
Our wheaten terrier is around 34 lbs and if I had to guess his height, I'd say around 20 inches. Maybe a tad bit taller.

Holy smokes I had no idea Bandit was that big!
Here's mine with their most recent full-body photo:
Kim is 23" at the shoulder and 47lbs
Webster is 17 3/4" at the shoulder and 22lbs
Mira is 22-22 1/2" at the shoulder depending on whether she's jacked up thinking it's time to play agility...and 53lbs (despite the snow this photo is only about 2 months old...)
I always feel like the size discrepancy doesn't really show up well in group photos...Webster looks smaller but to me he never looks as small as he is. Maybe it's the ears and seriousness.

Ivy is about 33" and around 125-130 lbs
Qcumber is around 34-35" and probably about 140?
Marley is around 25" (I think) and around 70lbs
I think they photograph small. They SHOULD look huge next to me but my fatness warps that lol. (I am 5'1") To me they are normal size dogs and actually seem kind of, well, not small, but not huge. They take up less room than one might think

Wow I didn't know Bandit was that big!! Holy cow!
Shai, do you have a picture of Web next to your cat?
Traveler is 22 inches and 39-40 lb. I think he looks larger than he is in pictures.
Didgie is about 21 inches and 32-33 lb right now. I think she looks bigger in pictures too. Unless you've met Zinga, then you think she's huge :rofl1:
Kaylee is around 80 lb and 24 at the shoulder. I think people don't realize how big she is.

Trent is about 27" at the withers and 78 - 84 lbs
On his own and in pictures, I think he does look like an 80 lb dog
All the dogs we know are around his size or smaller. Here he is in a group picture, with a 50 - 60 lb dog (white one in the middle) and a 75 lb - 80 lb German Shepherd
In person, everyone else seems to think that he's a fairly large dog because I always get comments on his size, and questions on his weight and how much he eats a day. To me, though, he looks like a medium sized dog and much smaller than 80 lbs. Especially in pictures... maybe I should stop wearing heels? :rofl1: It's not as noticeable when I'm kneeling next to him. I'm 5' 7", and the heels probably add 3".
*raises hand* I always thought she was 60 - 70 lbs!
Also, that is a gorgeous photo of her.

Wow, I don't think I've ever seen such a big BC! What a sweet looking guy. Didgie is definitely much smaller than I realized too.
Lola is 9 inches tall, and weighs 7.5 lbs. I think she looks just about right, maybe a bit bigger in pictures because usually Shih Tzu's tend to be bigger.
Lucy is 22 inches, 35 lbs and I think she looks much bigger in pictures than she does in person.

I'm terrible and have never measured how tall my dogs are.
I'm guessing Harlow is about 20-21", pretty short for a Boxer I think. She's fat right now at 64 pounds.

Rider is probably about 17", and he weighs 45 pounds. He's a stocky little dude. :rofl1:

Lucy is pretty much the same height as Rider, but less bulky. She's probably about 30-35 pounds.

I think she looks bigger in pictures. She's the same size as Lucy but she would be more equal to a Didgie or Traveler since she has little fluff. (Just not as shape
) She's more long than anything, and I think that makes people see her as bigger than she is.
ETA: Apparently Gwen is similar to BOTH Lucy's. :lol-sign:
Adrianne, it always amazes me how closely your dogs resemble mine in height and pointynes but how much more there is to your dogs. So much more substantial.
I also think of Backup as being much bigger.
And Page, Lugia really has a taller look to her! I mean, I know in my head she's small but it still stops me when I hear it!
