Mountain Dogs

Mountain dogs basically hail from mountain terrains all over the world and can make excellent family dogs. Most of them have a large stature, as they often work on farms, herding sheep and protecting cattle. 

Despite their apparent furrowed appearance, today’s mountain dogs are mostly gentle, and many of them make the list of the best dogs to have as pets just for their delightful company. 

But, it is essential to remember their lineage in the open mountains. They need an experienced owner who would be able to understand their need for activity and socializing while keeping them under control.
