About Maremma Sheepdogs
We use and breed Maremma sheep dogs, they stay with our sheep 24-7 and love their job. Maremma dogs were bred for protecting flocks specifically against wolves, so that is just what we needed.
Maremmas originated in Italy and were used for guarding sheep and goats along with other livestock. They are related to the Akbash, Kuvas, Pyreanean Mountain dogs and Komondor.
They make excellent guard dogs because of their bravery, strong willedness and independence. They have a scissor bite and are very fast and agile. I have seen them jump a 6 foot fence and I have witnessed them chasing coyotes, they had no problem keeping up with it for a short distance, which is long enough for them to make there kill!! I have to say, I was amazed!!
Our dogs work extremely well together as a team, I never cease to be amazed.
