How tall is a Central Asian Shepherd Dog?

What a Central Asian Shepherd Dog’s height measures

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 minimum 70 cm; female minimum 65 cm. No maximum. 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 (27.5 in), the Central Asian Shepherd Dog is the joint 36th tallest of the 297 dog breeds on this site. See the tallest dog breeds ranked.

Drawn at the same 27.5 in: Andean bear, Giant panda and King penguin. Same drawing, different listings: a Central Asian Shepherd Dog’s figure is a minimum, an Andean bear’s, a giant panda’s and a king penguin’s each the lower end of its range.

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.
