Colorado Mountain Dog

Both of our CMD's were 4th Generation on the Colorado Mountain Dog Registry. They and their G4 puppies have been delightful guardians and companions. They stay outside with our goats, although they occasionally like to wander in and hang out with the family as well. I love the fact that these giant beasts are out watching over my children at play. Our male Atlas is generally chilled out watching over everything. If he hears something however he can take off like a rocket in no time. He's a sweet yet imposing, majestic looking character! Our CMD's seem to be rather intelligent barkers as well. They will bark non-stop if there is a coyote or some other predator close to the property line, but other than that, they are generally much quieter than our other dogs (Vizsla). Kona has a sweet essence about her. She's an incredibly affectionate dog, yet always the peacemaker and protector. Her and Atlas work as a team, generally with 1 sleeping out by the fence line, and the other sleeping near the home and livestock pens. This breed has been the perfect balance in that they meet a need as a working LGD (livestock guardian dog) yet they have also become as much family members as our other "pet" dogs. We currently have puppies in Northern Arizona if you'd like more info. BigSkyArizona.com

Receiving Atlas as our LGD has been the greatest experience with a dog yet. He is overly friendly and visitors to our farm instantly fall in love with him, teasing how they would love to take him home. Guests with dogs very have to worry about him being aggressive with their pet as he will romp and play with them as well. Dawn, whom we purchased Atlas from, was a great help when we arrived to pick him up and has been a wonderful mentor for us as well. We would love to find a female to continue the breeding program eventually as I feel these animals are perfect for the small acreage farm. Murray and Jill

She is great. Basha seems to know when I'm feeling down so she'll do something goofy like chasing deer downhill and rolling over herself. It was so funny the deer even stopped to watch her rolling down the hill. She's still a baby so she's still kinda awkward, but I love her.

We brought these gorgeous siblings home at 8 weeks old and immediately introduced them to their new lifestyle of guarding our livestock. We live on a 5 acre farm with goats, mini pigs, and chickens. Since day one, they have shown great instinct to guard their herd. Never had to teach to it, they just knew what to do. It was amazing to see. At night, they are very protective and always alert us of coyotes or other sounds they hear. They are not ones to bark unnecessarily, so we always know when something is going on that warrants checking on. During the day they are incredibly loving and docile with all of our other animals, as well as anyone who comes around. Best puppies we have ever raised. Not biters, chewers, or jumpers. However, they do like to be independent explorers and often chose to not listen when called upon. We have 3 children who they adore. These gentle giants have turned out to be a perfect fit for our farm. Highly recommend the breed. Our puppies are 1/2 Great Pyrenees and 1/2 Anatolian Shepherd.

So far it’s been amazing. They are two of the most lovable puppies. They are very stubborn even at this young age. If you want to open your door and call them and expect them to come running right away you may be disappointed. They love to be outside and do things together. They and you will get attached very quickly. We have 65 acres in TX. And are going to be getting cattle and horses. Can’t wait to see how they are with them.

A great dog, as we live in the mountains outside of Durango Colorado. Great to keep the Bears and the other critters away.

Our dude (half Great Pyr and Half Anatolian) was purchased in Kansas by a nurse who works with our son in Colorado Springs. She went to purchase one dog and the environmental conditions and malnourished conditions of the mother and pups was so bad, that the nurse purchased all 3 pups and called the Humane Society after she left and they went and took the mother dog. It is probably a good thing that I do not know the names and address of the people who so horribly neglected the dogs. I have fantasies about what I could do to those people with my bare hands. Our dude was 10 weeks old, extremely malnourished and very sad and scared - his head was way bigger than his emaciated body. He vomited up a round worm in our back seat while we were taking him to his first visit at our HOLISTIC veterinarian (Dr. Jim Friedly, Peyton, Colorado, NATURAL HEALTHCARE CENTER FOR ANIMALS). I fed him diatomacious earth and Creatine in his food (grain free) everyday for a month and he gained a tremendous amount of muscle weight in the first month. When I took him back to the vet, the vet was delighted at the difference in just one month and said to Mulder, "Well, you've got a good home now, don't you?" Mulder had never had a dog cookie nor a real bone nor a leather knot Chew-Chew. We feed him two cans of grain free dog stews mixed with shredded cheddar every night and he eats grain free "crunchies" all day. At 9 months now, he weighs about 110 lbs and is about 32 inches tall. He has 3 inch length white hair. When he raises up on his back legs, he is about eye to eye with me. His body and his head are proportionate. He is THE BOSS of his 35 acre farm. He smiles all the time and his eyes are very happy. He has killed one of our chickens and mauled another (that lived) because he thinks they are his play things and they got out of their large chicken yard after high winds damaged the fence and they got out. He licks and loves all of our cats though not all of them love him back (they do tolerate him). We are looking for a female like him so he can assist in producing a litter and we want one female pup (Agent Scully) to raise with Mulder. Not sure how to find the female like him in our area, but would be willing to travel so that the deed could be done.

Petey was born and raised on our farm in Yoder, CO, Stone Table Ranch. He is a Great Pyrenees/Anatolian Shepherd line. He is AMAZING! He was brought into the CMD program in 2018 as an outcross stud. He has now sired 4 litters and all the pups have been gorgeous and well tempered. He loves people and is athletic. He is not a big barker unless necessary. We have now added other CMDs to our 35 acres and they can be seen at our website www.stonetableranch.com. Puppies available occasionally throughout the year!

Aries is a beautiful girl, almost totally white with greyish ear tips and a slightly off-center fawn colored spot on her back. She's 8 months and about 55 pounds. She's calm around the house and almost never barks. She learns new things easily, but is hard to train not to pull on the leash. She loves meeting new people and other dogs. Exceptionally friendly and loves kids, the younger, the better. Her only downside is she is very mouthy.

I love my brother and sister. We got my siblings in a Ranch near South Park Colorado and they have been a joy. They do bark a lot and that is one thing I struggle with, but overall couldn't ask for two sweeter dogs. They are full of personality love to play with each other and love doggie daycare just to be around others when I am working. They enjoy bones and toys and any thing they can chew on!
