What does it mean when a breeder says...
"The beagle is an 11 inch"
"Or it will grow to be about a 12" dog."
"A true mini-____ is under 13 inches"
Where is this measurement being taken? End to end? Floor to back?

These measurements are taken from the top of the shoulder blade to the bottom of the paw (with the dog standing of course). This is a measurement for height. Some breeds like Poodles and Beagles are divided into sub-categories by their height.

The measurement is usually taken from paws to shoulders. It's height, not length.

Maybe it is the size doggy door the dog can fit through.
