The Maremma Sheepdog is
a majestic white dog, of a large size and a rustic appearance. They are strong,
active, and for their size, very lithe. They have triangular drop ears and jet
black lips, nose and eyes. They are quite furry, but not fluffy or shaggy. They
have a long tail that almost touches the ground. The Maremma Sheepdog can be
rather independent, especially in work. They are a working dog and need a job
to keep them occupied. Their function has been to guard the flock and property
of the shepherd for millennia, even in situations where man is not present.
Maremma Sheepdogs are devoted to their master but treat them as an equal and
a friend. They are affectionate with people they know, but if you mistreat the
Maremma they will always remember it. The Maremma Sheepdog does not like to
be dominated, and would not do well in an obedience course. Maremmas are so
dedicated to their flock of sheep that one was said to have guarded sheep all
his life on a particular farm. When the family got rid of their sheep and replaced
them with beans in the same field, the Maremma was said to have taken over guardianship
of the beans! Always treat a Maremma fairly and they will turn into an indispensable
guardian angel for your stock, your farm and your family.
