How does a puppy get to Casanare?
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.
Casanare ranks 24th in population among Colombia’s 33 departments. Its largest municipalities are Yopal (199,286 people, hot lowlands), Aguazul (42,314 people, hot lowlands), and Paz de Ariporo (42,145 people, hot lowlands); 41% of its people live in Yopal.
How a puppy reaches you, handover age, documents and what we don’t doWhich breeds do we recommend for the climate in Yopal?
| Breed | In Yopal | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Maltese | Adapts | With a short coat, water always within reach and walks early in the morning or after dark. |
| Maltipoo | Adapts | A short clip and no midday sun. At home, a cool spot to rest. |
| Cavalier | With reservations | A fairly short muzzle and a predisposition to heart disease: only with a cool home, short walks at dawn and strict weight control. |
| Cockapoo | Adapts | It has energy to spare: exercise goes early or after dark, and the coat stays short. |
| Border Collie | With reservations | Workable on a farm with shade and water, working only in the cool hours. Hard exercise in the sun is a heatstroke risk. The double coat is never shaved. |
| Blue Heeler | Suits it well | The most heat-tolerant of the seven. It asks for shade, water and tick control. |
| Bernese | We don’t recommend it | A double-coated mountain dog of 36–50 kg (79–110 lb): it suffers in the hot lowlands. We would rather say so than hand one over. |
Yopal: ≈ 330 m (1,080 ft), hot climate zone (0 to 1,000 m (3,280 ft); an average of 24 °C (75 °F) or more, 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 Yopal and not for the whole department. Of the 19 municipalities in Casanare, there are 15 in the hot lowlands and 4 in the temperate zone. The lowest is Orocué, at ≈ 130 m (430 ft), and the highest is La Salina, at ≈ 1,500 m (4,920 ft).
None of them reaches the 1,800 m (5,910 ft) from which we recommend the Bernese Mountain Dog, the breed most sensitive to heat, without reservations.

Frequently asked questions about Casanare
Which dog breeds suit Yopal’s climate best?
Yopal is at ≈ 330 m (1,080 ft), in the hot climate zone, where the reference temperature is an average of 24 °C (75 °F) or more. At that altitude we recommend the Blue Heeler without reservations; the Maltese, the Maltipoo, and the Cockapoo adapt with some care; the Cavalier and the Border Collie come with reservations; we don’t recommend the Bernese.
Where in Casanare do you recommend a Bernese Mountain Dog?
Nowhere without reservations. No municipality in Casanare reaches the 1,800 m (5,910 ft) from which we recommend the Bernese Mountain Dog, and Yopal is in the hot lowlands (tierra caliente). Other breeds will live better in this climate; we will tell you which.
Can a puppy fly to Yopal?
The nearest airport with scheduled flights is El Alcaraván Airport (EYP, Yopal), about 2 km (1 mi) in a straight line from Yopal. 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.

It is arranged with each family on WhatsApp, and that holds for all 19 municipalities in Casanare, 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.
