The weight of an Alabai (Central Asian Shepherd Dog) can vary significantly based on factors such as gender, genetics, and whether the dog is bred for working purposes or show. Typically:
- Males: Weigh between 50 to 80 kilograms (110 to 176 pounds).
- Females: Weigh between 40 to 65 kilograms (88 to 143 pounds).
These dogs are known for their large, muscular build, which contributes to their imposing weight and size. Alabais are also bred to be sturdy and robust, qualities essential for their traditional roles as livestock guardians and protectors.
