How Big is Your Dog?

I was thinking about doing a weight/height thread the other day!
Summer
Breed(s): Papillon
Age: almost 10 years
Height: 9.5 inches
Weight: 8.1 lbs
Mia
Breed(s): Papillon
Age: 5 years
Height: 10.5 inches
Weight: 8.8 lbs
Will grab pics later.
Most people are shocked that Mia is bigger than Summer. I think it's because mia has this beady little head and finer bones?

Meg
Breed(s): Mountain Cur
Age: 9.5-ish
Height: 17.75"
Weight: 36 lbs

Apparently I have no recent side shots of Meg. I'd actually guess she's a pound or so down from where she was in this picture. I just bumped her food up a bit because she was too ribby.
Gusto
Breed(s): Border Collie/Terrier/Space Alien
Age: Nearly 3
Height: 17.25"

It always shocks me when I realize Gusto is as tall as Meg (basically). Granted he does have more leg than she does, but she really is just a little tank of a dog. And it is all bone and muscle. She has less covering over her ribs and shoulders than he does. I actually think that is why she dropped too much weight; I was so convinced that she had to be fat that I was feeding her a bit less. Whoops. Definitely can't compare the two of them side by side, because their body types are SO different!

Breed: Shar Pei X pitbull/Jack Russell/?? (mystery terrier cross)
Age: 10.5 months
Height: 21"
Weight: 44-46 pounds (depends on when you weigh him and how many cheese treats he's gotten recently...even at the upper end though, you can feel his ribs and even a bit of his spine sometimes, he's a lean-carrying dog underneath that fur and extra skin)
I pretty much always think the dogs posted on this forum are bigger than they are...when I think of A Dog [Generic] in my head, it's a 60+ pound lab, so I perpetually forget how many people own dogs in the under-45 range. I think my own dog is tiny and wish he'd been bigger, but what can you do

I actually just remeasured Trent, so this is perfect. Weight is his usual healthy-but-sort-of-chubby weight. It may be a couple pounds more now because I let him get fat?
Breed: German Shepherd Dog
Age: 5 years old
Height: 25" - 26"
Weight: 80 lbs
Picture:
Next to me (5' 7" but wearing heels in the first picture) for comparison. Just realized that he looks huge when standing on hind legs but tiny when on all fours because he's really, really long. Fairly low set but very long.
