Some reasons to consider Maremma livestock guardian dog ( LGD ) over other breeds like the Great Pyrenees, Kangals and Anatolian Shepherds:
Maremmas roam less
Maremmas bark less
Maremmas are a bit smaller in size
Maremmas eat less
Costs less
As I mentioned in the video there is a context for every dog, but if you are in situation where you don’t want your livestock guardian dog to roam or bark too much; the Maremma breed is one to look at.

Maremma are very smart. They do not follow the enemy. They will aleays stay with the flock. This is why they are so smart. Ciao from Italy.

@nunyabidniz2868 3 года назад

That says a lot for anyone who has coyotes to guard against. Songdogs are crafty [hence the Native American legends of Coyote, the trickster god. Think of the Norse Loki, only w/ less malice & no interfamilial dynamics...] and would likely lure a more aggressive breed away from the flock/herd while the rest of the pack wreaks havoc...

My two Maremmas gards our sheeps. I live in Sweden and have wolfs and bears around the farm, but no problems. My male is 130-140 pounds and is just two years old, the female Octavia is 100? pound. (60 and 45 kg) Have had Maremmas for 10 years. Love them.

@austenmckenna5555 3 года назад

I think Maremmas are so sweet and can be cuddle bugs but at night they are serious and dedicated to keeping predators off your property and keeping your livestock safe. They know how to decide who is a threat and who is harmless. They will leave a baby deer or small harmless critter alone but will not let a fox, coyte, bobtail, etc. pass that property line. The predators will know where that line is from the Maremmas "marking" the property. They are good with all livestock animals including chickens. The chickens like to hang with them as the Maremmas try to rest and sleep in the day. So as you integrate your Maremmas with your chickens and turkeys you should be pleased with the connection that they will have with each other. You forgot to mention the Akbash which is my second favorite LGD! But then there are so many breeds that are LGD's.

I got a male from a breeder here in north Italy. He’s 5 months and has grown three times his size. I’m going through the training of him till he’s a year old. He’s smart and watches everything you do. And learns fast. I also socialize him so there won’t be any problems. They are smart, quick to learn, and i they scene your moods. Love my dog!

We had a Maremma for a year. During her Spring shed there was a mountain of fur after I brushed her . Then I bathed her , let her dry , I brushed her again and got another mountain of fur.. She is a wonderful dog. We ended up giving her to a sheep ranch. Great livestock guardian dog. 🐏🐑

Had 4 Maremma's as pets .Super smart. My old guy Rocco was amazing. If he felt sick with something he ate he would let me know that he wanted to go out. He would find a place in the garden dig a small hole then vomit in it .Then fill in the hole with is nose. Had never been shown to do that by any adult Must be a natural thing they do to hide it from predators ? What other dog would be smart enough to do that? Many other things I can list , Just lost him last week. He was 13 I am shattered. He was a person my best friend

One month later & each had put on over Four pounds each. So we’re expecting them to be a bit larger but they are very intelligent and So, so sweet little girls, and ADORABLE !!! We are only training them to be Country House Pets but they will pull coyote duty as they grow. Very kind gentle giants

@JayReacio Год назад

How do they get along? I have a Pyrenees who is a bit playful with the sheep but he’s definitely their protector. I’ve been thinking to get a maremma to go in the pasture with him, do yours compliment each other?

@C-Culper4874 Год назад

@JayReacio They get along fine. The P is a female. M is a male. There is definitely a difference in the breeds. I far prefer the Ms. Coat is better for bad weather. Doesn't mat up at all like a P can. His hair is course. Burrs don't get as tangled. He does have a habit of pulling them out, spitting them on the floor for you to step on barefooted.

@MissElisabelle 3 года назад

I have a Maremma sheepdog mix and we live in an apartment. Sometimes I leave the door open when I just need to go back and forth quickly, and my dog just stays inside. He will bark at drug dealers (we have a severe problem in our neighbourhood and they basically do their thing in daylight). When we're hiking, he roams within 200 meters but he will run back to me as soon as I change direction or call him. When we're hiking with the rest of the family, I usually go ahead because I am fast, but my parents are slow and they find it hard to walk on irregular terrain, so my dog usually walks beside them. If they sit for a while, he sits next to them. Sometimes he quickly checks on me when I am too far, then goes back to my parents when he sees that I am okay. LGDs are the incarnation of loyalty.

@ZigZag9639 3 года назад

Wait, shouldn't Maremmas be living on a farm or an acreage because of their size?

@MissElisabelle 3 года назад

@@ZigZag9639 It's always best to have a garden or a farm for these dogs, yes, but they can live in an apartment, especially when they're used to it since puppyhood. A dog that has always lived outside, will rarely accept living indoors. Also, size is not really the problem as long as the house is big enough. The amount of energy is the problem, and Maremmas are quite tranquil dogs, they are sedentary but very eager to walk for extended period of times especially when accompanying the flock, and they rarely engage in intense physical activities unlike other farm dogs like Border Collies. There are smaller breeds that would hugely benefit from a yard if the owners are too busy to exercise them and give them mental stimulation as well, like Huskies, Malinois, Border Collies, Australian Shepherds, Dobermans etc... Malinois and Border Collies are especially prone to becoming neurotic if not given enough stimuli, they're working dogs through and through and they would destroy an apartment or even a garden if not trained and exercised regularly.

@laydenhollowhomestead 5 месяцев назад

Sorry for the criticism on your video but your making some serious mistakes(I love the Maremma I have them) I also have Great Pyrenees, you are giving out bad information Maremma cannot stand up against wolves or big coyotes they just don't have the weight , the long fur to protect them from bites or stand up against them. You are putting peoples Maremma's in danger by suggesting they can stand up against wolves or coyotes . The only way Maremma's can stand up against wolves if you have 4 or 5 against 1 wolf and with this ratio you would possibly lose a couple of your Maremma's. Maremma's does bark as much if not even more then a GP . You need to find out all the correct information , because your video is putting Maremma's at risk!

@giuliamor1 5 месяцев назад

They come from the Appenines, the mountains of central Italy, a breed that has guarded flocks from wolves for hundreds of years.

@MadBadSadAndGlad Год назад

We've had a Maremma for six months now & he's only nine months old. They need to go for a good long walk everyday & b aware that they drink lots of water. Ours can b obstinate when it's having fun tho. You have to b patient bcse he'll still follow if he can see U. When he runs ahead of us & we hide he'll come back looking for us. He loves the river parklands we're close to & has learnt the environs quickly. V smart dog & nvr aggressive in any way shape or form. He plays W other dogs well but can be scary to smaller breeds bcs he's so goddamned BIG!!

@EdenGreenFarmandAdventures 3 года назад

Awesome thanks Andrew.... the dogs you mentioned are awesome mix of breed. But an LGD like a Maremma, Great Pyrenees, Kangal or Anatolian shepherds are are specifically bred to have very low prey drive against livestock, tagged with louder bark and being more nocturnal than other breeds, they may prefect livestock guardians.

@larryhutchinson4271 10 месяцев назад

The reason the larger breeds "wander" is to protect their property. They don't sit in the pen and wait for an intruder to sneak up on them. In other words they are proactive and not just defensive. Also you mentioned food content, you say with 3 Maremma they might be able to keep away a pack of coyotes and possibly a mountain lion. One Great Pyrenees fought off 11 coyotes and killed 6 or 7 of them and survived. I do not know anything about the breed and they might be good at what they do but you don't act like you know the other breeds and why they do what they do very well either. I like to back up my opinions with facts, if you look up Great Pyrenees protecting flock you will find countless youtube videos, GP's will fight off wolves and bears, and I looked up Maremma Sheepdog fights off Wolves/Bears but found none. But just like some people eat peanut butter and others can't stand it, we are both entitled to our opinions. It would have sounded better if you could have just built them up without tearing down the other Guard Dog breeds.
