Great pictures! He‘s huge already. How is he doing in summer with all the heat and humidity? I was wonderint how breeds such as the CAS, CS, or TBM adjust to our climate.
Thanks! He is getting huge. Its hard to tell in the photos.
He did very well with the heat and humidity. Central Asia spans the area between the Caspian Sea and China. It includes five countries, therefore has vast climates. Because of their nomadic lifestyle, CAS developed to be very adaptable to the changing climates of Central Asia. Heat waves in the summer months can reach 104° He does seem to prefer the colder weather though.
As for Caucasian Shepherds. There are mixed reviews about heat tolerance. I do know that the regions around the Caucasus Mountains have diverse temperatures also.
I have read that Tibetan Mastiffs don't do well in hot humid climates. I'm not sure how factual that is, but the Himalayas are pretty cold.
