Canine Heights and Weights

[Addie]

I noticed a few people were unsure as to how heavy or tall their mixed breed dog and wolf characters should be, or were just putting something like "average" next to the height/weight information on their profiles. So, here's a visual on heights, and typed information to clarify further.

Also, check out this site for specific breed heights and weights using the drop-down menu provided.



6 inches to 1 foot:
* Includes some terriers and most toy breeds, and corgis.
* Weights can range from 9 to 30 pounds.

1 foot to 2 feet
* Includes most terriers and corgis, some small herding breeds and spaniels.
* Weights can range from 30 to 60 pounds.

2 to 3 feet
* Includes most wolves, some terriers, most herding and working breeds (such as Kahvie, who is around 2.2 feet).
* Weights can range from 60 to 80 pounds.

3 to 3.6 feet
* Includes a few wolves (such as Nightshade, who is 3.6 feet) and some working and sighthound dog breeds. Mostly very large dog breeds for over 3 feet, basically.
* Weights can range from 80 to 160 pounds.

3.6 to 4 feet
* Requires mod or admin permission.
* These heights are not really seen in wolves.
* Is very rare, but can be seen in breeds such as Irish wolfhounds and some mastiffs.
* Weights can range from 160 to 200 pounds.

This'll be very useful, I've already used it to up Amp's height and lower his weight a bit. He was apparently a very short, fat mutt. xD;

Actually, anything over 3 feet is meant more for dogs. Nightshade just happens to be a big bitch .

Ah xD *Shot*

hmm... i was going to make an irish wolfhound actually. i'm lucky i saw this. he is an old character of mine. usually i RPhim as 3'9''. can i do that here?

edit: I GOT PERMISSION FROM KAHVIE LEAVE ME ALONE

[loki]

Irish Wolfhounds reach about 3'0"ish (since they're 35in) so 3'9" is awfully big. So maybe 3'7" is the best way to go.

[gazzi]

i know that they only reach about 3 feet, but in RP world, they are bigger. look at the chart, they are 4 feet. so 3'9'' works just fine.

You have not been given permission to play at 3"9, and have kindly been asked to lower the height by two inches. There is nothing hard about that. ;]

i PMed kahvie about a week ago about it. she said it was fine.

[smartie]

Ah ok.

[gazzi]

ah ok? what does that mean?

[smartie]

It means that I know you got permission =]

So it means like " Ah ok, I understand ;] "

[gazzi]

then why did we just go through that whole thing if you knew i had permission?

[smartie]

Because I only found out, that you got permission, and I am sorry for my misunderstanding ;]

_{* had typd misunderstanding XD, that's what's with the edit x3}
