 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Most times we can tailor your Maremma Sheepdog to your farm needs.  This includes, but not limited to sheep, goats, chickens, alpacas, cows and horses. 

All of our dogs are handled and loved by  young children, as this will instill the love of child in the dog for life.

You will know exactly what you are getting when you purchase one of our Maremma Sheepdogs.  For example, an exposed dog leaves the farm at 5 months.  That dog will have no food issues, knows it place in the family unit, is bonded and working with stock, respects a variety of fences, knows certain basic commands we use here, sterilized, will have all their puppy booster shots including rabies, wormed and pedigree. 

The buyer will also have my  support from that very first day, until you no longer need me.  I have the experience and knowledge to answer any and all of your questions.  My ultimate goal is for you to have the perfect working partnership with your new livestock guardian.
