We're a small family farm in Fort Meade, FL, with 3 Maremma Sheepdogs protecting our property and livestock. We have 5 puppies born on 6/28/23, ready for new homes once they receive health certificates and shots. There are 4 male and 1 female puppies available. Our guardian dogs are familiar with chickens, ducks, and turkeys, and they've also been exposed to pigs, cows, and goats in the past. The mother is DNA tested, and the father comes from a registered bloodline in Montana. Maremmas are like other guardian dogs, such as Great Pyrenees, but they tend to stick close to their herd and are known for barking less than other guardian breeds. For serious inquiries, please call or text at the provided contact info. Thank you!
About the Maremma Sheepdog
The Maremma Sheepdog is a large, majestic livestock guardian breed originating from the mountainous regions of central Italy, where it has protected flocks from wolves and bears for over 2,000 years. Named after the Maremma region of Tuscany, this impressive white guardian possesses a thick, weather-resistant double coat that provides protection against harsh mountain climates. Unlike herding breeds that move livestock, the Maremma was bred to live among the flock, bonding with the animals it protects and making independent decisions to defend them from predators.
Maremma Sheepdogs are known for their calm, dignified demeanor and remarkable intelligence. They are naturally independent thinkers, bred to work without human direction for extended periods while guarding remote flocks. This independence translates to a dog that is loyal and devoted to its family but not overly demonstrative or eager to please in the way companion breeds are. They are naturally wary of strangers—a trait essential to their guardian role—and require extensive early socialization to ensure they can distinguish between genuine threats and normal activity. With proper introduction, they can be gentle and patient with children in their family.
This breed requires experienced ownership and is not recommended for first-time dog owners. Maremmas need space to patrol and a job to do, whether that's protecting livestock, property, or family. They are not highly active in terms of play but require room to roam and monitor their territory. Their thick coat requires regular grooming, especially during shedding season. For those with land, livestock, or the understanding to appreciate a working guardian breed, the Maremma Sheepdog offers unparalleled protection, quiet companionship, and a living connection to ancient pastoral traditions.
