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

I have a maremma and came on here to find out what to do about her constant barking!

Abruzzo is in central Italy not the north. Just a correction. It is east of Rome.

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!

Shouldn't you put holes at bottom of tire so that water does not collect and become a mosquito breeding area?

And the ATV is on a road vs the AKbash/Maremma on an uneven field. I clocked my female Anatolian Shepherd in her prime running down our descending long driveway when she got through the gate and I gave chase. 60 km/ hr (About 38mph) top speed.

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

Thank you for the video, I just planted some tonight

Do Maremma have hind leg dew claws?

We adopted two Anatolian / Pyrenees sisters @ 3 months old and already they are crate trained, loose & short leash train(ing is ongoing quite quickly & well) Sit/Stay & Come (still a work in progress but they pick things up quickly) and @ Twenty Seven & Thirty Four, Pounds Respectively. 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

Thanks for sharing🌺👍🌺👍🌺👍

Dimension please 🙏

Our Maremma was 108 lbs. I Loved that dog, great at protecting our goats.

I had 12 Kangal and 7 Maremma in Germany long time ago. Kangal has much more benefits than Maremma. The health and intelligence of Kangal is also much better. But I liked them all.

I love these dogs!

Problem with these Italian sheep dogs is they are too emotional and the females are prone to jealousy. To be fair tho, my girly Great Pyrenees is a very picky eater and tends to prowl the neighborhood at night looking for sex.

Hey could I ask what speed u were going?

I also have a maremma And her name is Luna. What an awesome name.

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.

This is a fantastic forage for the sheep and goats.

Thanks for posting. I will share with friends and make one myself.

My dream is to have a small farm and have both sheep and goats in same pasture. Very relaxing to watch both!

Well we just got our puppy's DNA breed results back and she is Anatolian Shepard, Great Pyrenees, and Maremma Sheepdog all mixed up with a little sliver of German Shepherd. So hopefully she takes on some of these traits!

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!!

Keep on rockin'! This channel needs S M Zeus!!

helpful!

Great job. May i know the yield in tons per acre per harvest. How many months to harvest.

Do they do well in winter ?

New sub from South Carolina 😊. We have had GP and Anatolian. Trouble with digging out with GP ( two sisters) were aggressive towards each other and would fight each other viscously.

I've got a maremma anatolian mix. She's on guard 24/7.

Maremma or Abbruzzo is not North of Italy... Nice content. Happy

I just heard mine and it sounded like it was screaming instead of crowing, it was hilarious...sure wasn't a crow, but its trying🤣

Do you have the plans that I could purchase. Is exactly what I want to build.

Does this die down in winter? I need something for privacy but all year long.

I just watched this video to see if what I thought I heard coming out of one of our newest 14-week-old hens was what I heard as she sure is sounding like a rooster to me.

I got mine from an animal shelter and was told it was a great pyrenees but i am starting to think he’s actually a maremma and not a pyrenees due to his nature and he doesn’t shed all year which most pyrenees do, i think im gonna get a dna test for him

Do you have an updated video?

Can they live outside full time?

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!

from seed how tall will they grow in a season?

This was very helpful & informative! Thanks. I was on the fence between Maremma or Great Pyr & you helped me!!!!

Abruzzo is central Italy.

I agree with your video!

This takes me back to when I had chickens: I still remember how thrilling it always was, to see all of those sweet little babies, watching some of them start fighting each other (that's how I could tell they were roosters!) Then eventually, there would be these brand new, handsome voices, and they'd be crowing right along with their big ol daddies! Every time a young boy would start crowing, I just felt sooooo excited!!! (And some of the early attempts were quite hilarious too! 😂 They're so cute!!! 💖 🐓

Soap did not work in my area (Atlantic Canada), the deers were not deterred at all

I loved the GP I had, but I will never get another one because they cannot be contained. They are great protectors, lovable and beautiful. We had her for 14 years and could never keep her on our property. My neighbor has 2 and they are here roaming out property line frequently. I want a dog that will stay at home.

The “Black Copper Maran -please don’t try again” had me laughing so hard 😂😂😂

Will this spread by air? I'm looking to grow this as a sort of fence - and encase my crops from sight

Amazing 👌🏻

Where did you get your dogs?
