The first 8 weeks...
We breed and train our pups to be the best that they can be. Our focus is livestock protection and thats what we constantly encourage our puppies to do. For the first 8 weeks of their lives they are kept in the barn with as many varieties of livestock nearby as possible. Our farm includes chickens, ducks, geese, horses, rabbits, goats and sheep and our pups are familier with all of them, but their primary job is sheep protection. Our puppies are not allowed to sleep by our house, although we like friendly dogs, they don't need any extra loving on to make them friendly with their owners - they are naturally friendly with the hand that feeds them.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Your Puppies Registered? No. Our puppies are not registered, and we do not have pedigrees on them. To the best of my knowledge they are purebred Maremmas. I have been told that they are the nicest looking Maremmas around, come take a look and decide for yourself :)
What kind of shots and vetting will they have had done? As 8 week old puppies they will have been wormed but no shots will have been given just yet. If you would like a Health Certificate please let us know in advance or if you are taking the puppy out of the state of Idaho. Health Certificates are normally about $20 from our vet.
Have you had any Hip Displasia or eye problems? Our male dogs are 9 years old, and have not had any hip dispasia or eye problems, no we have not experienced any hip displasia or eye problems with any of our dogs. Maremmas are not as prone to hip dispasia because they are a lighter LGD, for their height they do not weigh a whole lot. Feeding a good diet and keeping your maremma at a good weight will decrease your chances of Hip Displasia.
Do You Ship Puppies? I prefer to do local pickup or meet you somewhere whenever possible- its easier on the pups, however we do ship puppies. We have sold puppies in many states and Canada. Shipping a puppy by plane costs about $200-350. Another option that has worked well for us is Uship.com where a person traveling can deliver your puppy for you, it does have its risks, but so does shipping by plane.
Do Your Dogs Bark Alot? Every dog is different, Maremmas are not known to do a lot of barking like Pyraneese do. But as puppies, they do bark some more than others, normally only when they are bored, excited, or chasing something. Our adult dogs do not bark much at all.
How are your dogs with children? Naturally these dogs are awesome with young children, they are not nippy, but they are capable of anything just like any other dog and if children will be around them a lot they should be exposed to many children and some obedience training. They will be handled some in their first 8 weeks at our home, but not much. All children who interact with dogs of any breed should be taught to treat them kindly and with respect. We have never experienced any aggresive behavior from our dogs towards humans even with outsiders so long as they are not messing with their sheep. Maremmas are an extremely protective dog, and if they see something or someone as a threat they will do all in their power to protect you, or whatever they see as theirs.
