GENERAL APPEARANCE: The CMD is a large beautiful dog, strongly built, tall, and leaner than some other LGD breeds. In proportion to his size, he is a medium weight dog, whose body is square, not elongated, standing tall on long well-boned legs and large powerful feet. The appearance is soft, the size impressive, and the demeanor relaxed and affectionate.

Weight: Males: 120 to 150+, Height: 29-33+ inches.
Females: 80 to 120 lbs +, 27-31+ inches.
Heights above the general standard are accepted.
The heavier weights should be associated with a taller dog rather than a more heavily built dog.
Faults: Too heavy proportionally, height under the standard

Although color is our last priority, our dogs are strikingly colored.( It is a happy accident most of the time). Most of our dogs are color described as such:

SILVER/BLUE: grey/grizzled with a dark undercoat letting of refractions of blue hue.

WHITE: Solid colored white with no black or red hairs. "Biscuit" edging on the ears.

PLATINUM: "reds" faded to a buff or golden color. Most of these dogs are born sable with black masks.

SOLID BLACK: white points on feet, belly and tail fall into this category

TUXEDO BLACK: Full white chest, white pasterns and belly. Smal white blazes on the face not desired.

SABLES:

Wolf Sable (Agouti) is described as primarily silver with alternating red/black/white banding on the entire shaft of the guard hair.

Clear Sable is described as primarily red/yellow/platinum with black banding ONLY on the end of the guard hair shaft.

Color: The Colorado Mountain Dog is primarily white, but other colors are permitted, such as badger markings, fading color, brindle, silver, agouti, mink, black, or tan with dark muzzle.

The Colorado Mountain Dog is a Livestock Guardian Dog (LGD) used mainly for the protection of flocks and guarding of properties specifically from predatory animals, with traits selected for small acreage farming (less wandering, less barking,. than traditionally associated with the land-race breeds that make up the modern LGD we call the Colorado Mountain Dog. The CMD is known to accept socialization and will train with greater ease than most LGD breeds.

The CMD Difference: A unique balanced temperament new to the LGD world, the CMD does not regard humans as predators; instead desires a true working cooperation with its people. They possess an innate deep-seated drive to nurture and protect small vulnerable things (your livestock) making them gentle souls in any setting - pasture or potential service dog.

We select for dogs that are true homebodies. They desire to stay close to their perceived territory and family, moving their predatory threats back with a very discerning bark. Crucially, they do not require large acreage or demanding exercise to thrive. They can fulfill their protective duty and with proper conditioning have an "off" button to clock-out when you set those boundaries.

The Colorado Mountain Dog Registry is the authority that holds our pedigrees and registration history. We adhere to the standards, ethics and legislation of the CMDR in the breeding practices of our kennels.
