Maremma Livestock Guardian Dog Puppies
Description
*Mostly Maremma* livestock guardian dog puppies may be available to suitable homes and livestock guardian jobs. Sire is purebred Maremma, Dam is *mostly Maremma* with some Great Pyrenees (lineage details unknown). Not registered, nor possible to register. Both parents are working livestock guardian dogs; having proven themselves in an extensive sheep farm with significant coyote pressure.
I'm keeping half of the litter. Three dogs are available to suitable homes. Note: I am very selective. These dogs are suitable for outdoor, extensive living with livestock protection responsibilities. I don't feel they're suitable for suburban pet life. Prospective owners will need to be familiar with Maremma breed characteristics and livestock guardian dog management.
All dogs will be eight weeks age or older, and will have been inspected by a veterinarian and have their first round of vaccinations prior to release from the farm. Prospective owners will have to sign a sales contract outlining our mutual responsibilities.
Preference given to farms operated by new entrants/ startup livestock operators needing flock/herd protection.
NOTE: All puppies from this litter are currently committed. Four puppies will be going to protect sheep on farms in the Maritimes. Two puppies will stay on my farm.
I am leaving this ad up to collect information from appropriate buyers that might be interested in puppies from a future litter. Please note, I will not sell a puppy to a person that does not live on rural acreage, and preference goes to buyers with livestock protection jobs awaiting puppies.
I will not respond to messages that refer to these dogs as "pets" - they are not pets. In your message to me, please indicate how you are a suitable home for a Maremma sheepdog.
