Maremma Sheepdog – Canowindra

We are breeders of pedigree Maremma Sheepdogs. Our eight Maremma puppies are now looking for their forever homes. Our pups have outstanding well-rounded personalities. They are adorable pups, who will grow into magnificent dogs, with sound temperaments good form, and great pigmentation around the eyes, nose, and paws. Hercules, Zeus, Aurora, Freya, Cleo, Maia, Juno and Loki. Born on the 28th of June 2024. These are pure-breed Maremma. Both parents have strong bloodlines and come from award-winning parents (Royal Easter show winners) Both father and mother’s parents were imported from Italy. The pups are wormed, microchipped, vaccinated and vet health checked. The puppies will be looking for their forever homes in the next few weeks. They make their presence known to any potential threat by targeted barking (they have a loud deep bark), and because of this we believe they are completely unsuitable as a city dog (unless you can keep your dog inside). They will defend and if necessary, attack and even kill predators (foxes and wild dogs). They don’t demand much attention but enjoy affection when it suits them! They are bred to be guardian dogs and need land. Parents, Luna and Luigi currently guard chickens, ducks, turkeys, geese, and sheep. The puppies have been exposed to the birds daily. We provide education packs about your pup and are available if you have questions regarding training etc. Please message myself, if you are interested in bringing a Maremma puppy into your family.

Maremma Sheepdog – Murray Bridge

We are having to make the heart breaking decision to find a new home for our 5 year old sahara, shes not desexed never had puppies,house trained, good with cats and chooks and ducks she's also been with calves iv raised in our backyard, she good with our other dog but hasn't been really socialised with other dogs, she has a beautiful nature great with kids. She would suit a hobby farm or property. Due to her nature of her breed she barks alot and we have tired everything to stop this but we are constantly getting noise complaints this is the only reason we are parting with her.also because of her nature she can be very wary of new people but she is all noise and warms up quite quickly. She loves a good cuddle We would like to see her go to good home with stock she can protect and some room to run. She will not be suitable for people with a small yard she is a very large do who needs room.

Maremma pups for working homes

We have used Maremma working dogs to protect our stud dorper sheep for almost 20 years. We have had many from different sources in that time with varying degrees of success. We currently have 9 working Maremma guardians. Occasionally when we have have a male (Sire) and female (Dam), that we consider truly outstanding in terms of guarding instinct, temperament and conformation, we breed a litter primarily for our own needs. Around 3 October we will have several pups from our current litter ready for their new home. Below are a couple of photos of Halfpenny, the sire of our current litter.

The Ultimate Maremma Sheepdog Guide

About Maremma Sheepdog

The Maremma Sheepdog is a robust, formidable breed sharing its lineage with other Eastern European livestock guardians. They are athletic and sturdy, with a powerful physique and a prominent head. Farmers often employ them to oversee their flock and animals.

Lifespan

Lifespan

11 to 13 years

Weight

Weight

35 to 45 kg

Height

Height

Grooming

Grooming

The coat should be brushed a few times a week, and more often during shedding season. The breed can overheat easily due to their thick fur. It is typically not a good idea to cut their hair short or shave them, as their coat helps them regulate their temperature and any drastic coat changes can cause them issues.

Origins

The Maremma Sheepdog is an ancient breed hailing from Italy, initially serving as guard dogs for sheep flocks, protecting them from predators like wolves. The breed still serves this purpose in some areas but has also gained popularity as companion animals. Named after the Maremma region of Tuscany, these dogs were chosen for their size, strength, bravery, and loyalty—traits that continue to define the breed today.

Key Characteristics Of Maremma Sheepdogs

Are Maremma Sheepdogs Family-Friendly?

Maremma dogs are gentle giants with tranquil dispositions. They are loyal and protective of their families but can appear aloof with strangers. They make excellent watchdogs, alerting you to any intruders on your property. If you provide your Maremma with the exercise, training, attention, and affection they need, they will become a wonderful family addition.

 

Common Health Issues & Considerations

Maremma Sheepdogs may suffer from:

Gastric Dilatation-Volvulus or Bloat

Cancer

Nature / Temperament

Calm, Protective, Industrious, Devoted, Independent

Suitable Environment

Due to their size and energy level, Maremma dogs are not ideal for first-time dog owners or those living in small homes or apartments. They require an owner with the time to dedicate to their training and mental stimulation throughout their lives. They also need a large space to run and play. Socialise your Maremma from a young age to ensure they interact appropriately with new people and animals.

 

Other Considerations

– Despite being called a “sheepdog”, they are used to guard all sorts of animals.

– Maremma Sheepdogs don’t enjoy having lots of company over.

– Some Maremma Sheepdogs can have a sensitivity to anaesthesia.

How can I take good care of my Maremma Sheepdog?

Nutrition

Maremmas are generally not finicky eaters and will consume most available food. However, due to their large size, they require substantial food. Feed them a high-quality diet rich in protein and fat. Puppies should eat three to four times daily, while adults can eat twice daily. Provide fresh drinking water at all times.

Grooming

The coat demands brushing several times a week, increasing during shedding seasons. The breed can overheat due to their dense fur. Trimming or shaving their coat is usually inadvisable as it helps regulate their temperature, and drastic changes can cause issues.

 

Exercise

Maremma Sheepdogs are large, athletic dogs needing plenty of exercise to stay healthy and content. Daily walks keep them fit, but they also enjoy playing fetch, finding hidden toys and treats, and agility training. Ensure your Maremma receives at least 45 minutes of exercise daily, though they will happily exercise more.

Training

Without proper and consistent training, a Maremma’s herding instincts can prompt them to chase anything that moves. Provide them with suitable ways to tire themselves mentally and physically, such as agility training. Train your Maremma from a young age to ensure they are social and well-behaved around strangers and other animals. Early training helps build a solid foundation before they reach adulthood. Enroll your Maremma in puppy preschool and dog obedience classes to help them learn obedience.

This information is general and should not be solely relied upon for adopting or purchasing decisions.

Most Asked Maremma Sheepdog Questions

No. Maremmas are working dogs, so they need a job to do and the company of their handler in order to feel fulfilled.

No, the Maremma Sheepdog is not naturally aggressive. They will, however, protect their owners and family members if they perceive a threat.

If you are looking for a Maremma puppy for sale, it’s always better to buy from reputable, ethical breeders. Responsible Maremma dog breeders will have their dogs tested for genetic issues and health problems, giving you peace of mind that your dog will be as healthy as possible.

The average cost of a Maremma puppy for sale will be between AUD $500 and $1500.
