Mac!Bons Maremmas
We have owned Maremmas for over 15 years. We are passionate about the breed and want to be certain that our puppies go to suitable homes. If you are considering adopting a Maremma puppy and need more information before making a commitment, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
About Maremmano-Abruzzese Sheepdogs:
• This breed was developed to guard livestock in the field. They are protective of their pack whether it is a flock of chickens, goats, sheep or their human companions but generally, they are not aggressive.
• Two things about their guardian instincts… They patrol and roam their territory so proper
fencing is essential. Secondly, they have a tendency to bark at almost anything. This can be a
problem but I do know of dogs successfully homed in suburbia. It comes down to the right
dog and the dedication of the owners.
• As a livestock guardian dog, they are ‘independent’ thinkers which may make obedience
training a challenge. Having said that, they are intelligent and respond well to positive
reinforcement… and treats!
• Maremmas have a double coat which they shed twice a year. Their coats should be brushed
out while they are shedding to prevent matting. If fur is a problem do not consider this breed.
The upside of their coat is that it is ‘self-cleaning’…dirt just falls of them. I haven’t washed our
dogs since they were pups unless they rolled in something nasty!
We expose our puppies to different environments, people, and other animals to help them become well-adjusted adults. Our structured socialisation program helps inculcate confidence and good behaviour in our puppies, ensuring they grow to be sociable, friendly, and adaptable dogs.
Our fishes have a stimulating environment with plants, rocks, or driftwood to encourage natural behaviours. We offer them a varied diet that mimics the natural diet of the species to improve their health and vitality.
Our breeding program is rooted in ethical practices that prioritise the welfare of our dogs. We maintain a clean, safe, and loving environment for our dogs to live, play, and grow, and our animals have warm bedding, fresh water, ample space to exercise, and natural lighting.
If at any point you are unable to continue caring for your dog, we provide a lifetime rehoming guarantee. We will take the necessary steps to ensure that your dog is placed in a loving and responsible new home that aligns with our ethical breeding principles.
