Casa De Estrela

Casa De Estrela, Estrela mountain dogs, Reading, PA, is situated in Berks County and the Lehigh Valley near Allentown. G Taveras has been breeding Estrela mountain dogs for over fifteen years and maintains membership in the United Kennel Club, ensuring all dogs undergo recommended health screening for hip and elbow dysplasia.

Puppies are introduced to household routines and socialized with adults and other animals before joining their new families. Adults live in a home setting with supervised access to pastureland, where they build the breed’s famed endurance through daily outings. The Estrela mountain dog’s history as a livestock guardian is reflected in their calm vigilance around livestock and children.

A recent family noted their puppy’s steady temperament and adaptability during early visits. All breeding dogs are evaluated annually by a veterinarian and receive ongoing preventive care to support long-term health. Litters typically stay with their mother until eight weeks, which helps establish a strong maternal bond and foundational training.
