Short Maremma Sheepdog description:
The Maremma Sheepdog is a giant dog breed and according to the official FCI breed standard, their height should be between 60-73 cm, which is 23-29 inch and weight between 30-45 kg, which is 66-100 pounds. The females are naturally little bit smaller than males.
The Maremma Sheepdog can only be in solid white color. Shades of ivory, pale orange or lemon is tolerated. There is a reason why they are white. It is because all white dog are easily recognizable from larger distances, which helped the shepherds to recognize their dogs apart from other animals, for example wolves. The coat is very thick, long and rough to touch.

Beautiful Sheepdog!
@@lanzik93 👍👍
Best breed eva!
Yes my family and i are getting a marrema in 5 days
Without a doubt
Love our 2 Maremmas. They are so loving and affectionate, very good with children and other dogs. Whenever, a stranger comes to the gate they keep him at bay until thet see one of the family members to welcome him. They love going hiking and to the beach. Luv them!!
Awesome! 👍
We had 2 Maremmas - one lived 12 years and the secomd lived 13 years. We miss them but they were wonderful companions and loved sitting on the top of a hill guarding whatever moved!!
They are amazing dogs!
California here. Mac, approximately 5 years old, gentle giant, without doubt. But, best described as an oversized puppy, that loves to dig, roll in the dirt, head directly to and stand in the middle of mud puddles and irrigation ditches when the water is on. loves endless belly rubs and leaning against his favorite people. Anyone wanting one, keep in mind these dogs are are bread to be outdoor working dogs they need the space to serve their nature. A daily 5 to 10 min brushing keeps them reactively handsome and clean. And lol almost a hosing off
👍👍
i'm italian and i can say that your description of the dog and even your pronunce are perfect. Really compliments , great job!
Thanks! I am really happy i pronounced it correctly, sometimes it is a real challange.
Non sei italiano allora, tu menti.
I have a Maremma German Shepherd mix. We had to move to the city in an apartment for now but she's still a pup. We're gonna get a place with yard before she's one with a dog door so she can just do what she wants. We take her out to dog parks every single day and don't miss. She's been great and I love how chill she is.
👍👍
We have a 3 year old Maremma.She’s very placid. Good with kids & everyone. Beautiful dog.
Awesome! 👍
I have a 2 year old Maremma sheepdog and he’s the BEST his name is Melvin and he is super easy to train and loves everyone, he was an impulse buy 2 years ago and still no regret he’s a wonderful dog and he loves protecting our chickens
Awesome!
Our Maremma is so loving and protective of his family!! but he will not stop barking at everyone, and even when we tell him to stop or go to him and comfort him he still won't stop. We can't take him out on walk during the day because he would try to run ahead as soon as he sees someone, it's barking on site like the road belongs to us and he is trying to protect his family. he also pulls when we walk him and it's so unenjoyable. If anyone has any tips that would be helpful!
I own a companion maremma she is my best friend! A more devoted dog I have never had! She loves kids and gets really excited when she sees or hears kids! She is sweet loving and very goofy! I love my baby girl!
Awesome!
A white dog like this showed up in my yard...I can't tell if its a Grest Pyrenees or Marema but I love her. She is so protective of my yard n my other smaller dogs and super loving.
It is hard to tell the difference. You are great for taking care of the dog 👍
....spot on! I have one of these lovely boys and I wouldn't change a single thing about him: he is even super obedient!!
Awesome!
Speaking of penguins, they made a movie about the first dog trained to protect the fairy penguins!! It’s called Oddball!
Awesome! I will check it out 👍
I have boz. Big , strong, courageous, friendly. I love them.
That's great
Thank you! All the info I needed in a straightforward and useful format.
Glad the video was helpful!
My favourite breed. Our current maremma is the friendliest dog anyone could meet… he falls a little short of being a guard dog lol
Awesome!
Just watched the the Oddball movie and fell in love with breed.
👍👍
❤❤❤❤❤
i really want a Maremma for my farm i feel like it will be the perfect fit for my chickens and ducks
👍👍
Maremma= 😍 Great video mate! Thanks so much! Well done! 🐶🐾
I am glad you liked the video! :))
I always want to know more about this breed.... once more thanks a lot for such great information!

👍👍 Thanks
Very cool video & information! I have a half maremma/ half great Pyrenese and she’s the nearest dog ever!! 💙💙
Thanks!
Awwww their SOOOOO beautiful ❤️❤️

Great and informative, a must for new Maremma puppy owners like me
Thank you for your effort.
Liam
Glad you enjoyed the video!
My maremma Emily is very temperemental haha. But always playing like crazy when not guarding the garden.
👍👍
They fit right in with the sheep.
Well, it seems that they are great fit for any animal. You can find some videos on TH-cam with Maremma Sheepdogs surrounded by chicken. They can protect any farm animals and they will love it. Awesome dogs 👍
These dogs are lovely
👍👍
I love mine. He has some hip issues at only a year old tho. He takes glucosamine supplements and seems to be doing a lot better since starting them. Wish I could share a pic.
Good information!
Thanks!
There was a movie made. “Oddball”
Beautiful ❤❤
Totally!
What the Maremma favorite food? What I can do to prevent Hips displasia ?
I have a great pyrenees labrador retriever maremma mix named Maverick, and I am glad I live in the country because he would go insane in a city...
Yeah these dogs are happiest in the country 👍 thats for sure
I like that the Maremma has almost no prey drive, so maybe it is not the dog that guards against predators in the sky, maybe it is the Kuvasz after all. Must a dog have prey drive to guard against animals that would get at what they are protecting?
Protection dog does not need to have high prey drive. High prey drive is beneficial for hunting breeds. Guarding dog does not need to kill the enemy and in most cases, the Maremma Sheepdog will just deter the intruder by barking of defensive posture. This is a protective dog, but defensively protective, they are not attack or offensive dog.
Will it protect a wolf? I'm doing my research first but we have a husky who needs a playmate XD This is a really good informative video too.
Please don't have a go at me also if you have misinterpreted my comment above. I'm an experienced owner of high energy dogs and always do my research before getting a dog. I'm very patient also and exercise my husky twice a day. Dogs are for life and I know that.
The canine version of Nancy Sinatra.
If you really are a dog lover then DO NOT get a dog simply because you like the way he looks…, because they’re fashionable , because you think to be cool in saying “ is an Italian sheep dog “ etc. , for your home. They are happy, shaped by the nature…, when they grew up with flocks of sheep, in the wild, in the cold and in the heat. Get a chihuahua…
Maremmano Abruzzese or just Maremmano
Amazing dog in comparison to other livestock guardian dogs... stays home closer to the flock, barks, less, more affectionate, eat less and has less health issues.. Love the Maremmas, check out my videos on them.
Word, another plus compared to most other breeds: they don't kill wildlife but scare it away. No need for a guard dog to kill Pheasants or Rabbits.
The penguin island in Australia is not in Western Australia, It is in the southern tip of Victoria South East Australia. Great Video otherwise.
Thanks for the correction
Would they protect their owners well?
Absolutely. You, your children, cats and house dogs are all part of the Maremmas flock. I have 7 adults and 4 new puppies and love them all!
@@JosephGreenleaf tysm I got my own female maremma and she's beautiful 🥰🥰
There are perfect descriptions of this dog, what it looked like, how it was used and where it was present in Italy, by the ancient Roman authors Varro and Columella from two thousand years and more ago. These testimonials give it much greater priority over the other breeds you mention.
My brother bought his maremma sheep dog home with him after a break up he was abused in the past the dog. He didn't know us, but he gets along well with us and our dog, but he really dislikes our lovely neighbours, penny my dog tries to stop him barking at them, as penny gets along really good with them. I don't know why he is so aggressive with our neighbours. They are very kind people and they own a Labrador. How can we get him to be nice to our neighbours
You cant. Be careful with him. My dad had a Maremma from an abused home, he made a full attack at my dads wife one time.
I has a meremma sheep dog hes not even 1 month
👍👍
I once read that either the Hungarian Kuvasz or the Italian Maremma guarded against predators in the sky and that whichever one of these dogs it is, is the only dog that does that - watch the sky. Do you know which one it is?
I am sorry, i am not sure which one is it.
Hi guys
