03:47 you can see that he wants to leave hiim, but is too polite to apply any force :D adorable!
We’ve had one on our farm for 9 years now in the Alberta Rocky Mountain foothills and he’s a true soldier ! Keeps everything out from bears and cougars and coyotes to the occasional trespassing human
I am italian and you have a perfect dog! Thank you💝
Razza fantastica
everyone pays $ 2000-3000 to this dog, but when this dog was a puppy, we came to our door:^ we love it very much and now it's 2 years old
Bunch of cuteness 🤍
we just got one and we live in suburbs. shes indoor and outdoor. we have a flock of 6 chickens we are introducing her to
Beautiful. I have a great pyrenees but these are obviously related.
Rottweilers & maremma are my favourite breeds. I have a almost 2 year old maremma and he still comes inside every night and tries to sleep on the bed. Them being “ uncaring “ of their owner isnt true mine guards me from things I didn’t even know where threats when I try to sleep lol 😂
sweet polars. im infatuated.
I getting one today!!!!!!!!
The problem is you can't bring them in the house and people don't understand that.
This is absolutely not a dog for apartment. It need open spaces. Was selected to be very sweet with owners and other farm animals, but aggressive with strangers and wild animals. The good maremmano abbruzzese loss is aggressivity when it go far from this territory. The best natural dog.
Mine loves being inside
What an amazing breed of dog. Not quite sure why uk farmers are not using these. There has been so many deaths of sheep 🐑 from dogs especially this time of yr. maybe people would keep their dogs under control a bit more
Will he attack a stranger coming to property ? Wjat about if you were there with him ?
I not in Facebook, but am interested in one or two puppies in 2022. How do I contact you?
May I know how tall you are? Trying to gauge the dog’s size.

Would 3 acres of land be enough room for one Maremma? Would a 4ft 9g chain link fence keep a Maremma in? We have a small herd of goats and there are coyotes in the area.
5ft it's a easy jump
Depends. I have 4.5 acres but the poultry and my maremma dog have only about 3.5 fenced acres. This is pretty small for him to patrol. He makes up for it by "guarding" the properties in front and to the side as well as mine. He is very vigilant, but also smart. He knows who belongs at the neighbors' places and does not bark at them, but when anybody strange comes around he barks. So he seems to think that the neighbors' properties (as well as their kids) also is his responsibility, and this does give him enough to keep an eye on. He scared off burglars that had broken into a neighbor's house while he was working midnights. As for the fence, some of mine is only 4 feet and he does not try to get out. I believe if they are happy and occupied taking care of their territory and flock (of whatever, ducks, goats, ?) they are not interested in getting out. If you have coyotes, you need a guard dog. Be warned though, that they do not fully mature until 18 to 24 months; you can't expect a younger one to be a reliable guardian. Get some info from whoever you buy from about how to train your pup. Best wishes!
My maremma is not and has never attempted to jump our 4.5 ft fence. He is respectful of boundaries... might just be his sweetheart of a personality though
Wow
Hii bro I am from India I need one
In abruzzo you pay € 300
Lol clubs in us are translating the name wrong As in italian maremmano(only a parte of the Real name) is An adjective and Maremma is a noun(a part of tuscany)
I have one named ace
He is a boy
How much pLz,I m in Australia
What do you mean how much?!
You are not the one who picking this dog, they are picking you, like in the avatar movie.
In the U.S puppies cost anywhere from $300 to $2000.
Be sure not to eat it
Mine was 1900
Can I keep him as a pet
Cuddling pups and stroking affectionate adult dogs shows you are not conditioning them well. Their bond to the sheep should be stronger than the bond to man. As soon as they are weaned place them with the sheep and just ignore them. Their working instinct (protective, attentive, trustworthy) clicks into place automatically. Feed them where the sheep are. From then on they must never be separated from the flock they are to protect, day and night, good or bad weather, hot to cold, for the rest of their lives. Each flock should be guarded by a team of three or four adults comprising one female. If the flock is sold its own Maremmas go with it.
You said the breed originated hundreds of years ago in Italy, but three minutes prior to that you said that the breed originated in ancient Rome and even talked about Roman art depictions of the dog...
A little editing goes a long way in a finished, refined, professional product.
how much does a puppy cost?
I... I can't watch this
Why’s this dog more furry
