Casa Trufa puppies in Inírida
Inírida is lowland country: ≈ 100 m (330 ft), in the hot climate zone (piso térmico), and heat is what decides which of our breeds we would place here. 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. It is the capital of Guainía, with 39,586 people in DANE’s projection for 2026.

Which dog breeds suit the climate in Inírida?
| Breed | In Inírida | 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. |
Inírida: ≈ 100 m (330 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.
Of the 8 municipalities in Guainía, 8 (100%) are in the hot lowlands like Inírida, so what we recommend here holds for almost the whole department.
