A Caucasian Shepherd Dog stands desirable 72 to 75 cm (2 ft 4.5 in to 2 ft 5.5 in) at the shoulder (males).
Height is measured at the withers, the top of the shoulders. The head and ears extend above that line. The Fédération Cynologique Internationale standard gives Male desirable 72–75 cms, minimum 68 cms; female desirable 67–70 cms, minimum 64 cms; larger stature accepted when harmonious. Choose the sex or size variety above where the source separates them. A range describes the published listing, not the height of every individual dog.
Ranked by the tallest height its standard names (29.5 in), the Caucasian Shepherd Dog is the 15th tallest of the 297 dog breeds on this site. See the tallest dog breeds ranked.
This is a published species or breed reference, not a prediction for an individual animal. Where a range is supplied, both ends appear with the reading. Shoulder height and head height are kept apart when comparing animals.
All 50 working dogs by height, tallest first, or every dog breed. To compare your own dog, measure it at the withers.
