Casa Trufa puppies in Antioquia

Antioquia is a department (Colombia’s equivalent of a state or province) with 125 municipalities and 6.99 million people in DANE’s projection for 2026. They run from sea level at Turbo up to 2,580 m (8,460 ft) at San José de La Montaña; by climate zone (piso térmico), that is 39 in the hot lowlands, 65 in the temperate zone, and 21 in the cool highlands. Medellín, the capital, is at ≈ 1,470 m (4,820 ft), in the temperate climate zone. That is why the breed we recommend changes from one municipality to the next; the table below lists every one of them.

How does a puppy get to Antioquia?

How the puppy gets to you is arranged with each family on WhatsApp: it depends on where you live, on the puppy’s age and on what is calmest for the puppy.

Antioquia ranks 2nd in population among Colombia’s 33 departments. Its largest municipalities are Medellín (2,650,662 people, temperate zone), Bello (573,769 people, temperate zone), and Itagüí (303,251 people, temperate zone); 38% of its people live in Medellín.

BerneseWith reservationsOnly with heat management: cool floors, shade, walks at dawn and after dark. Let’s talk it through first.

Medellín: ≈ 1,470 m (4,820 ft), temperate climate zone (1,001 to 2,000 m (3,280–6,560 ft); an average between 17.5 and 24 °C (64–75 °F), under the Caldas classification used by IDEAM, Colombia’s hydrology, meteorology and environmental studies institute). This is Casa Trufa’s general criterion by altitude; it does not replace your veterinarian’s assessment.

That table is for Medellín and not for the whole department. Of the 125 municipalities in Antioquia, there are 39 in the hot lowlands, 65 in the temperate zone, and 21 in the cool highlands. The lowest is Turbo, at ≈ 0 m (0 ft), and the highest is San José de La Montaña, at ≈ 2,580 m (8,460 ft).

The Bernese Mountain Dog is the breed most sensitive to heat: we recommend it without reservations in 36 of them, those from about 1,800 m (5,910 ft) up. The “Bernese Mountain Dog” column in the table of municipalities gives the verdict one by one.

Frequently asked questions about Antioquia

Which dog breeds suit Medellín’s climate best?

Medellín is at ≈ 1,470 m (4,820 ft), in the temperate climate zone, where the reference temperature is an average between 17.5 and 24 °C (64–75 °F). At that altitude we recommend the Maltese, the Maltipoo, the Cavalier, the Cockapoo, the Border Collie, and the Blue Heeler without reservations; the Bernese comes with reservations.

Where in Antioquia do you recommend a Bernese Mountain Dog?

In the municipalities from about 1,800 m (5,910 ft) up: 36 of the 125 municipalities in Antioquia. The largest are Rionegro at ≈ 2,080 m (6,820 ft); La Ceja at ≈ 2,140 m (7,020 ft); Marinilla at ≈ 2,080 m (6,820 ft); El Carmen de Viboral at ≈ 2,150 m (7,050 ft); Guarne at ≈ 2,130 m (6,990 ft). Everywhere else it comes with reservations or we don’t recommend it, depending on the altitude.

Can a puppy fly to Medellín?

The nearest airport with scheduled flights is Enrique Olaya Herrera Airport (EOH, Medellín), about 3 km (2 mi) in a straight line from Medellín. The rules for flying with a puppy are changing, so we confirm them with the airline every time; a puppy never travels alone or in the hold.

How does a Casa Trufa puppy get to a family in Antioquia?

It is arranged with each family on WhatsApp, and that holds for all 125 municipalities in Antioquia, whether or not they have a page of their own on this site. Always handed over in person, and never before the puppy is eight weeks old.
