Bringing home a working-breed puppy like an Estrela is exciting, but puppies are a lot of work and without proper structure, things can unravel fast. Our Estrela Mountain Dog Training program is designed to give your puppy the foundation they need so you don't have to. If you prefer to pass on the overwhelming puppy phase (potty accidents, crying at night, leash pulling, etc.), consider one of our older started Estrelas or enroll your puppy in our training program so you can skip to the good part faster.

Estrela Mountain Dog Training Program: 5 Levels for Success
Our Estrela Mountain Dog puppies are raised on a working farm, where they’re exposed to a variety of sights, sounds, animals, and people from an early age. They’re socialized with cats, other dogs, livestock, children, and friendly strangers to build confident, well-rounded temperaments. Each puppy completes Puppy Culture like protocols and the Volhardt Personality Test to help ensure a smooth transition into their new home. We also introduce foundational training, including auto-sit (“mend”), early recall, potty training, basic obedience, and crate skills.
All puppies will receive age-appropriate vaccinations, be microchipped, and dewormed at 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks. Each puppy comes with a veterinarian-issued health certificate confirming they are free of illness and congenital defects at the time of purchase.
Our Estrela Mountain Dogs are health tested for hip and elbow dysplasia and screened for a range of genetic conditions, including : Thyroid Disease, Dentition Issues., Loose Patellas, Degenerative Myelopathy, and Dilated Cardiomyopathy.
Yes. Our puppies come home with a health guarantee against serious congenital defects that may affect quality of life or result in life-threatening conditions. We also provide a 12-month guarantee against hip dysplasia. In the event of a qualifying issue, buyers will be offered a replacement puppy from an upcoming litter.
Your puppy will have access to our personal trainer at a discounted rate of $2,500 per month for our comprehensive puppy training program—an exceptional value compared to typical board-and-train rates that often start at $1,000 per week. Our program is home-based and includes exposure to children, other dogs of all sizes, and a variety of animals. The focus is on building a well-mannered, obedient puppy with solid house manners and real-world socialization. That can go on to be a family companion/guardian or equipped livestock guardian dog.
Your puppy will go home with a thoughtfully prepared go-home bag that includes essential items such as a health certificate, microchip information, AKC registration, and signed puppy contract. You'll also receive a blanket carrying the scent of mom and littermates, a leash and collar, toys, and a supply of transition food to ease the adjustment. Every puppy also comes with an Individualized Success Plan (ISP), which outlines breed education, training recommendations, and support tailored to help you and your Estrela thrive together from day one.
You want a real Estrela Mountain Dog.
Unlike other lines in the USA we don't mix in other breeds and call them EMDs. Our Estrela's are the real deal, and you won't get surprises with our dogs.
Stable Protection Family Dog Genetics.
Our puppies have the genetic potential to be the stable, working, protection family dogs of the future.
“Sophee get's along great with my Aussie and is very protective.”
Thanks to Casa de Taveras for my beautiful new Estrela Mountain Dog Pup! They are very sweet, professional and care so much for the breed.
“I've basically roamed the entire earth looking for a dog like an Estrela.”
I know that sounds dramatic, but I freaking love my dog. I knew I needed a protection dog and this girl is ittttt!!!!
“Thanks to Damari, my vet even wants an Estrela Puppy Now”
My vet was so impressed with the health and personality of my Estrela puppy, and they said I got really lucky to find such a great breeder. These guys are the best!
“I never fully understood what a protective dog was until I got my Estrela”
Our girl is everything I needed in a personal companion and protective dog. She clears the street when we go for walks and always makes me feel safe at night.
“I have a lot of regrets in my life, but investing in a healthy puppy isn't one.”
After my rescue dog passed away prematurely, I knew I needed a dog to heal but wasn't ready to go through that again. The Estrela breed is just what I needed.
