Archie the Maremma - Aloof and Loyal - Told by Sarah 

Pyrenees look-alike .... very beautiful dog. I have a Pyrenees who is a looker and Protector ..... JUST BEST DOGS these Guardian dogs. God bless, jj

We have a Maremma who was rejected from a large litter out west and was pit up on an animal rescue site. He is everything you said and more, he too protects the girl in our family, and we love him so much. Point to note, we would not recommend these dogs for suburban life they are a working dog and need a purpose to be fulfilled and happy. Thanks for a great video.

I have a 3-year old Great Pyrenees who I first thought (when I rescued her) might be a Marema, However DNA proves her to be 100% Pyrenees. Both breeds are wonderful; gentle yet protective!

Awesome Archie. Love this Tale😊

Lovely ❤

I discovered my dog shiva is Maremma through dogscan app. I knew that shiva,wasnt the local.mutt.. i adopted her from a dog rescue that saves dogs from southern Israel. Her vet studied in Italy and admitted after two years that ok yes she looks maremma.. She has only one foot with an extra toe. She looks so similar to the breed. She has epileptic seizures and is on medication. How common is that? Shiva is 2 and a half years old. I have had her since she was 2 months old. She is very protective and also calm. No one can believe how protective she can be since she seems sheep like most of the time..

Lovely!

What a great story!

I have a Meramma named 'Belle" . I have had her for 10 months now and she is amazing. She was kept in a large cage in Italy for a number of years ( not sure how many ) without freedom, no walks ,very little mostly disgustng food scraps and a huge tumour hanging down which has been removed and it was benign thank God. She loves her home which is an apartment in France next to the sea with a 90 meter private enclosed garden that she rarely uses. She loves our walks every day, she enjoys other dogs and she loves the attention she gets from people. She is loving, extremely stubborn and has problems sometimes going down stairs. No problem going up them. She loves going out and smelling and peeing on everything but also loves to come home where she lays in her big bed . She is thoughtful, gentle and attentive and I am 73 so greatly appreciate that. She walks along the beach ( no leash ) and lays in the sun and usually has a big smile on her face.She is happy and content. A very unique, independent and loving dog and as a retiree I have the time and the patience to understand her. I cannot totally agree because I think these dogs make amazing companions and are happy being loved, being praised and walking every day. They are really laid back and lazy basically. They really don't do much even in their natural habitat.A 1 or 2 hour walk and they're ready to come home to their bed.

Beautiful dogs

Wonderful video! Your Maremma are beautiful and clearly have a very strong bond with you. I’ve had two Great Pyrenees and it seems like they share not only physical characteristics but behavioral too. I laughed when you mentioned “cat like” because we used to call our big male “the biggest cat we’ve ever had”.

I from italy, il Shepard maremmano abbruzzese very name, beautifull dog, my dog 55kg

Beautiful that they can work in a pack. If strangers keep being an issue, two caucasian ovcharka from a ussr red kennel line (so not original) would help, they are very territorial vs humans and still very good with life stock.

Great video ❤

We have an Archie too

I’m curious why you’d choose a much “softer” LGD?
