Every Australian Cattle Dog grows at its own pace. Enter your puppy’s age and weight below to see where it sits on the breed’s growth curve and what adult size to expect.
Estimates combine your puppy’s current trajectory with typical growth curves for this breed and size class. Individual dogs vary — nutrition, genetics and neuter timing all matter. For health concerns, ask your vet.
The Australian Cattle Dog is a medium-sized breed. Adult males typically weigh 35–50 lb (15.9–22.7 kg) and females 30–45 lb (13.6–20.4 kg). Most Australian Cattle Dogs reach about half their adult weight around 4.3 months, hit 90% by roughly 9.1 months, and are fully grown near 13 months. A useful rule of thumb for medium breeds: they roughly double their four-month weight.
When do Australian Cattle Dogs stop growing?
Most Australian Cattle Dogs reach their full adult height and weight by about 13 months. Growth is fastest before 4.3 months, then slows steadily — by 9.1 months your puppy will be about 90% of its final size.
