I guess my Betty is part weiner dog. LOL! I tried to remeasure...she sees me coming and runs away. Maybe her length is closer to 10 1/2 to 11. But her height is short. Since I'm not positive where the 'shoulder' is...I measured to the top of her back and it is around 8 or 8 1/2 inches. She's a rectangle...but Mama loves her rectangle!
