About Colorado Mt Dogs
Caspians Gallery
Available Pups
Colorado Mountain Dogs are livestock guardians and are about 120 pounds. They have much of the appearance of the Great Pyreness but a lighter frame, more athletic, finer and cleaner muzzle, and hybrid vigor from Anatolian Shepherds. They are a working, versus a show dog. They have been bred for their temperments, intelligence, and guarding qualities for generations and they do not have a show history. We're aiming for a gentle family/livestock guardian with high intelligence and sweet nature, perfect for families who have acreage and animals in Colorado but do not want a dog that intimidates or goes after people.
Caspian sensed the caution I had because of the lions in the area and responded to it. Starting as an 8 month old pup, if he saw me come outside at night, he would leap up and run around the house barking, run up and down the gullys, and then to my side. He'd then escort me to the barn with my hand riding on his back. When Caspian hikes with us, he makes large circles around us the whole way checking every bush, rock and tree. Caspian barks aggressively and loudly at strange animals, but is gentle to our chickens, goats and kittens. He noses them like a mom. Caspian also greets our guests, both adults and children, with enthusiasm and politeness.
