They are gentle with children, and despite their size, they adapt well to inside living as they bond closely to their owners and love to be part of their family. Derived from working dog stock, the Colorado Mountain Dog defends their master’s borders against animals of prey that may attempt to take stock. Two dogs are needed and recommended where there is a larger predator load and more than two dogs are recommended in an area where larger prey such as mountain lions or packs of wolves or coyotes are of a concern. They are ideal for farms or larger ranches. CMDR Colorado Mountain Dogs are often white, although you can find them in other beautiful colors such and Black, Silver and Brindle. They are typically tall and lean with a medium length, self-cleaning coat that is easy to care for. Sometimes, depending on breeder lines, some CMDR Colorado Mountain Dogs can be excellent Service dogs and tremendous hiking and camping companions for families that are more active and like having a larger dog for protection while having adventures in the wilderness. The breed is still in development, with a strong focus on temperament and guarding abilities over physical appearance.
