Top 10 Most Popular Dog Breeds in Colorado

Read all the way to the end – we save the one detail most people never think about for last. Colorado has always been a state that demands a certain kind of dog. With over 300 days of sunshine a year, trail systems winding through the Rockies, and cities like Denver and Boulder that treat dogs almost as citizens, the breeds that thrive here tend to be athletic, intelligent, and adaptable. It’s no coincidence that many of Colorado’s most beloved breeds look tailor-made for a mountain lifestyle.

2026 election showcases Colorado's geographic divide

The statewide ballot has a geographic fault line: All five Democratic candidates live in the Denver area, while most of their Republican rivals call southern Colorado home. Why it matters: Whoever gets elected sets the agenda — and how they prioritize addressing the state's challenges varies by geography. State of play: The Democratic nominees for U.S. Senate, governor, attorney general, secretary of state and treasurer call the Denver metro home. U.S. Sen. John Hickenlooper, who's seeking reelection, and gubernatorial candidate Phil Weiser are both from Denver. Attorney general candidate Jena Griswold lives in Louisville, secretary of state candidate Amanda Gonzalez lives in Arvada and Jeff Bridges, the treasurer nominee, is from Greenwood Village. This is the first midterm since 2006 wherein all Democratic statewide candidates came from the Denver area. The other side: On the Republican end, Victor Marx, a candidate for governor, and Michael Allen, the attorney general nominee, are from El Paso County. U.S. Senate contender Mark Baisley lives next door in rural Teller County. Treasurer hopeful Kevin Grantham is farther south in Cañon City. James Wiley, a secretary of state candidate, is the exception. He lists his home as Littleton, just outside Denver. Between the lines: In

Southwest Colorado takes stock, picks up pieces, after another round of devastating floods

After record-breaking floods, many swollen rivers in southwestern Colorado are starting to recede. But recovery from the historic flooding and the damage it wrought may take a long time. Roads remain impassable across much of the region, and Pagosa Springs is largely cut off from the rest of the state, with only one rural highway leading out of town toward New Mexico.
