And I don't think you can have Dwarves that aren't short.

Memory Alpha and Star Trek Online both describe them as "short". I can't find any first page references that suggest they are taller than human on average and the first example tends to set the stereotype. Even apart from that, "bearded", "stubborn", "hard-drinking" and "doesn't like elves" do seem to cover a lot of dwarf territory. Not to mention that they first appear as parties to a mining dispute.
