Central Asian Shepherd Dog Size
As a giant breed, a Central Asian Shepherd Dog keeps growing for longer than a small dog — larger breeds reach their adult weight months later (Hawthorne et al., 2004). Expect steady growth well past the first year.

Central Asian Shepherd Dog Growth Chart
What a Central Asian Shepherd Dog puppy weighs week by week, from the growth curve FEDIAF publishes (Nutritional Guidelines 2025, Table VII-8a) for a dog whose expected adult weight is 45.0 kg. It is an average, not a target, and it is only valid from 8 weeks to one year — FEDIAF notes that growth patterns show a certain individual variability. Read a row as the middle of a spread.

Common questions
How much does a full-grown Central Asian Shepherd Dog weigh?
A Central Asian Shepherd Dog weighs 88–110 lb (40–50 kg) as an adult. That range is the mass Wikidata publishes for the breed under a CC0 license, re-checked here every week — it is a typical weight across many adult dogs, not a target for one dog.
Is a Central Asian Shepherd Dog a giant dog?
Yes — a Central Asian Shepherd Dog counts as a giant breed, going by the middle of its adult weight range (40–50 kg). The cut-offs between small, medium, large and giant are a common veterinary convention rather than one official standard, so a breed near a boundary can be described either way elsewhere.
When does a Central Asian Shepherd Dog stop growing?
Later than a small dog. Hawthorne et al. (2004) measured that larger breeds keep gaining weight for longer, so a Central Asian Shepherd Dog is likely to fill out well past its first birthday. We don't publish a month-by-month figure, because no source gives one breed by breed — and an invented number would be worse than none.
Why is there a range instead of one weight?
Because the source publishes a range. Within any breed, weight varies with sex, genetics, build and health, and a mixed-breed dog usually falls between its parents' breeds. Narrowing 88–110 lb down to a single number would look more precise while being less true.
