Very high :lol:
That's not much help, but I know my two could jump a baby gate if they wanted to.

My frenchie, Lottie, can get over 4ft dog pen pannels. She jumps about 3ft and kind of climbs the rest. Her brother just looks at her and like she's mad.:)

My frenchie does the same. Im currently researching companies that sell higher gates.

In terms of a 'standing start' jump I have found about 3ft 6 is about the limit for most - though they do do a great lap and scramble if there is a gap in a fence etc next to a wall or another corner fence outside.
Indoors have 4ft dog gates from Argos and they are great (as long as there is nowhere to scramble from) - the childgates are not high enough.
I hear that Bettacare is also going into dog gates of 4ft - but personally I find the ones from Argos great and easy to use..

going to say i have to agree my medium to larger buns of the past cleared a 3ft fence so i would always put 4ft to be safe touch wood no one has cleared this one yet!

My smallest bun is the one that will jump anything so her enclosure must be 4' high or over.
The giants could clear 3.5ft but there would have to be something tempting them to make it worth the bother:lol:
