Casa Trufa puppies in Boyacá

Boyacá is a department (Colombia’s equivalent of a state or province) with 123 municipalities and 1.34 million people in DANE’s projection for 2026. They run from 150 m (490 ft) at Puerto Boyacá up to 3,080 m (10,100 ft) at Jericó; by climate zone (piso térmico), that is 9 in the hot lowlands, 34 in the temperate zone, 78 in the cool highlands, and 2 in the páramo. Tunja, the capital, is at ≈ 2,700 m (8,860 ft), in the cool 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 Boyacá?

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.

Boyacá ranks 15th in population among Colombia’s 33 departments. Its largest municipalities are Tunja (190,498 people, cool highlands), Sogamoso (140,193 people, cool highlands), and Duitama (135,198 people, cool highlands); 14% of its people live in Tunja.

Tunja: ≈ 2,700 m (8,860 ft), cool climate zone (2,001 to 3,000 m (6,560–9,840 ft); an average between 12 and 17.5 °C (54–64 °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 Tunja and not for the whole department. Of the 123 municipalities in Boyacá, there are 9 in the hot lowlands, 34 in the temperate zone, 78 in the cool highlands, and 2 in the páramo. The lowest is Puerto Boyacá, at ≈ 150 m (490 ft), and the highest is Jericó, at ≈ 3,080 m (10,100 ft).

The Bernese Mountain Dog is the breed most sensitive to heat: we recommend it without reservations in 87 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.

Tunja is at ≈ 2,700 m (8,860 ft), in the cool climate zone, where the reference temperature is an average between 12 and 17.5 °C (54–64 °F). At that altitude the climate suits all seven breeds we raise.

Where in Boyacá do you recommend a Bernese Mountain Dog?

In the municipalities from about 1,800 m (5,910 ft) up: 87 of the 123 municipalities in Boyacá.

The nearest airport with scheduled flights is El Alcaraván Airport (EYP, Yopal), about 110 km (68 mi) in a straight line from Tunja. 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 Boyacá?

It is arranged with each family on WhatsApp, and that holds for all 123 municipalities in Boyacá, 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.
