8 medium dog breeds that are just the right size

Border Collie

The Border Collie is a working and herding dog breed that can be anywhere from 27 to 42 pounds and 18 to 22 inches tall. They are incredibly intelligent, acrobatic, and athletic - which makes sense as they were bred in Scotland to herd sheep.

Siberian Husky

Siberian Huskies were bred as sled dogs and are used to working in packs, so most of them get along well with other dogs. Siberian Huskies can be anywhere from 20 to 23 inches tall and weigh between 35 and 60 pounds.

Dalmatian

The iconic Dalmatian can be anywhere from 22 to 24 inches tall and weigh between 35 and 71 pounds. While they're famous for their role in Disney's 101 Dalmatians.

Poodle

As far as medium dog breeds go, Poodles can be around 15 inches tall and weigh between 40 and 70 pounds. These are the standard poodles, by the way, not the miniature or toy breeds.
