Estrela Mountain Dog
Estrela Mountain Dogs (75-115 pounds) are calm, protective, and loyal, best for experienced owners. They’re gentle with kids when socialized but need supervision due to size. Moderate exercise (1-2 hours daily, walks or guarding) suits them; their thick coat needs weekly brushing.
Feed 4-6 cups daily of Royal Canin Large Breed Adult Dry Dog Food, with 26% protein and glucosamine for joint health. Split meals to prevent bloat. Best for outdoor living with indoor access in cooler climates, they’re not for apartments or hot regions.
Training curbs guarding instincts. Suited for rural owners with space, Estrelas thrive with firm leadership, not for first-timers or small homes.
