Colorado Mountain Dogs are Livestock Guardian Dogs which, unlike many other LGDs, are people oriented and friendly. They are derived from generations of working dogs. We are working with all white, medium/ long coated dogs for Colorado winters. Our dogs are especially suited for being a part of a family, and for guarding animals and acreage against predatory animals. They work by establishing a territory and defending the borders against lions, coyotes, foxes, coons, and other wild animals whose territories intersect with ranches. They drive these animals away with very few actual physical confrontations. In areas where there are only small predators such as foxes, coons, etc, one dog is sufficient. In areas where lions or coyote packs are present, we recommend at least two Colorado Mountain Dogs. Our dogs are also some of the best family dogs. They are deeply intelligent, gentle, mellow and easy to have indoors in spite of their size.
