When Does a Tornjak Stop Growing?

Expect your Tornjak to reach adult height of 23–28 inches by 15–24 months. Full body maturity—including muscle development toward the 62–110 lb target—may continue until 18–30 months.

Growth is influenced by genetics, nutrition quality, and spay/neuter timing. Generally a healthy breed benefiting from its diverse landrace genetics; hip screening and bloat awareness are the main health management priorities..

Is My Tornjak Overweight?

Assessing your Tornjak's body condition (healthy range: 62–110 lbs):

Rib check: Run your hands along the ribcage—you should feel individual ribs under a slight fat layer
Overhead view: A defined waist should be visible between ribs and hips
Side profile: The abdomen should tuck upward behind the last rib

Overweight Tornjaks face higher risks of Hip Dysplasia, joint problems, and shortened lifespan. As a large-sized working breed, maintaining lean body condition is especially important for longevity. Work with your vet to adjust feeding and exercise if needed.

Feeding Recommendation

Adult Tornjaks (62–110 lbs) typically need 0.9 to 2.2 cups of high-quality dry food per day, divided into two meals. Choose a large-breed formula to support joint health and manage the risk of Hip Dysplasia. Moderate exercise of 30-60 minutes daily; enjoys long walks and having a yard to patrol, but does not require intense athletic activity.—adjust portions based on activity level. Budget $85–127/month for food costs.
