Mountain dog

Mountain dog is a generic form of canidae, dog, dog breed or landrace typically from mountain environs.

They are often a working dog, particularly a livestock or flock guardian or farm dog. By and large, these dogs tend to have a claimed Molosser dog in their genetic heritage.[1][2][3] Most have a double coat.
