Casper always looks smaller in his pics. He is 29" and 115-118lbs. He slouches a lot when sitting. In person he is much larger according to everyone who has met him!
Ronon is 28 1/2" 78-80lbs
Joey 29 1/2" 70lbs (still growing)
Mira 20" 55lbs
Rocky 25lbs (not sure how tall)
Jack 19lbs (not sure how tall)
Casper next to a 80lb female Dogo
Next to a 20" 55lb pit bull

Crazy to see how much difference there is between what I think a dog weighs versus reality ahahh I suck at guessing weights& heights though
Penn is jusssstttttttt painfully a teeny tiny bit over 22& she weighs in at 43 right now.
And for someone who takes a lot of photos ..I have no recent photos of Miss Penny. I'm a terrible mother. Here's one of her with her backpack on during a hike-

Bandit is WAY bigger than I expected! lol. He's such a stud muffin.
A lot of these sizes are somewhat surprising to me. I remember thinking Cricket was going to be much bigger than she really is!
I'll have to re-measure to be certain, but the last time I measured he was about 12" tall, and almost 15" long. I never know exactly how much he weighs because I feel like I get a different weight every time. But he's about 17lbs give or take. He fluctuates between 16-18lbs.
I think most people probably expect him to be smaller. He's over double the size of standard Yorkies. So people never believe me. They insist he HAS to be mixed with a Westie, but I think it's because I get him cut similar to a Westie. I've had SO many people tell me that.
Body shot.
Me holding him, and I'm about 5'6". He's pretty long.
He's also very solid. He is NOT easy to carry around or hold.
Him and Cricket and Joey.
Him with a 4.5lb yorkie, LOL (excuse the bad haircut- hello big ears)

Wow, I had no idea Bandit was that big! He looks like he'd be so much fun to cuddle with!
Rory is small... 19" tall, 35lbs, and he has a 14" neck. Here's my comparison picture- I'm 5'2":

I'm not sure if he looks bigger or smaller in photos alone.

I can't even remember how tall the chihuahuas are. I've replied to a thread in here before with all of their heights, and I'm not sure where it is!
I can give weights.
Rylie:4lbs
Chloe: 7lbs
Tucker: 5.5lbs
Emma: 3.5lbs

Cricket is about 20" and around 26 pounds
Journey is a little under 21" and around 27 pounds
Newton is a little under 22" and around 30 pounds
These are based on some hasty measuring tape measurements, so they might not be 100% accurate
I think they photograph pretty true to size. They do weigh a lot less than other dogs of the same height - for example Newton and Trav are about the same size (which I didn't know until this thread) but Newton weighs ten pounds less.

Yarrow is 29'' tall and 93lbs (last time I weighted/measure...people have been saying he's looking bigger lately so he might have grown since then)
From what I've heard, he looks smaller in photos unless there is some frame of reference.
Also, he looks SO different in winter and summer coat!
Winter fluff
Summer scruffy
Jasper is about 23-24'' and around 55lbs. I think he might be a little smaller than he would seem in pictures? maybe? just because he is pretty small for a Collie.
And a comparison shot between the two (although Yarrow is on slightly higher ground here)
And I won't include Onyx because she is just a baaaby!

Crossbone is about 16" tall & 22-23 pounds
ETA - I think he looks bigger in pictures & everyone that meets him and has only seen pictures thinks he's tiny. (That was my first reaction too)
ETA2 - Payton looks bigger than Crossbone on pictures but they're like the same size!!

All of my dogs are pretty much the same size right now.
Zinga- 18.5" 24lbs
Zuma- 17.75" 24lbs
Zip Tie- 18.5" 24lbs
Zinga is all legs, but both her and Zuma look bigger in pictures. I always get comments on how tiny they are.
Zinga3 by ZooomDog, on Flickr
Zuma might be a hair shorter than the other two, but she is stockier.
Zuma1 by ZooomDog, on Flickr
Zip Tie is more substantial than both of the girls. The girls at my work absolutely do not believe me that he's the same size as Zuma/Zinga because they only see him by himself, and he just appears thicker. Nope, same dang size. At least for now.

True story!
I found heights for my chis in the past thread:
Measurements to the shoulder blades, right (like, where their shoulders meet their back).
Emma: 7"
Rylie: 7.5"
Tucker: 8"
Chloe: 9"
And here are the reference pictures I posted:

I think he's about average for a collie, maybe a hair small for a male. I remember when I picked up Logan, he was about the size I expected him to be. Then we visited a bunch of other collies and I was thinking "Holy cow they're all so tiny!" lol. Logan's bigger than his parents. Logan's at the top end of the standard, but not over. One of the collies I dogsat is HUGE, around 28" tall and almost 90 pounds (but a bit fat) :yikes:
