PUPS & Cost
We are accepting $200 deposits for upcoming Spring puppies 5/24/2024-6/12/2024. Our pups are health checked by a veterinarian before leaving the farm. They are vaccinated and also wormed regularly after 3 wks of age. Pups will be active and in farm training as soon as they can see (10 days old). They are born on the farm and are placed in an enclosure next to the stock (cows, chickens) Our prices increase for older pups due to the increase in food consumption, vet visits, shots and more required supervision/training on the farm. The pups can be shipped for an additional expense for the buyer. Some transportation is available by MyMaremma on the East Coast. We sell our pups at a lower price because we do not register our dogs in order to keep the cost down for those looking for reliable full-blood working Maremma pups. A registered 8 week old pup’s average cost is $1800-$3,200. Our price does increase for older pups because they become more valuable as they age. The pups receive more farm exposure, daily training from their parents and other seasoned and proven guardian dogs on the farm. They have regular interactions from people as they visit during chore times. The pups receive health care, and are fed a healthy farm fresh diet and puppy kibbles. Older or adult trained dogs will be priced according to individual abilities. Click link for current pup availability.

Breeding Selection
Our dogs are protecting our sheep, chickens, horses and cows at our homestead day and night! They bond with their assigned livestock staying in close proximity to them. We have chosen to breed our dogs because of their behavioral and health qualities.
Anica came from Keri Brandt in Wisconsin her parents Poundcake and Tito are shown below. 
Anica’s father Tito came from Finder Hampshire farm in Kansas and her mother Poundcake came from Penni Kite’s farm in Kansasville Wisconsin. Anika guards ground and sky and has been in the pastures since she came to the farm at 8 weeks. She has produced to litters of 10 with our male Vidar. She has had no health problems.
She is an excellent mother and provides social and guard training to her pups daily after they were weaned (around 6 wks) until they are placed at their new farms or mature enough to guard on their own. She was a calm pup and prefered to have belly rubs and pats on the head rather than cuddles as a pup. She is more cuddly since having her first litter. Anika is a proactive guardian dog with excellent protective instincts. In less than a year she learned to accept correction and quickly adapted to new boundaries and livestock requirements. She was not resistant to being placed on a cable and housed easily in her guarding pasture while tied during training years.
Vidar is Sire to our current litter. His parents are Rolo and Helga from our farm. He was a busy puppy, very curious and independent. He did not want to be held or cuddled much as a puppy. He continues to only desire belly rubs and pats on the head. He has always been stock focused and stays in our pasture with the stock watching sky and land for predators. He is able to be cabled easily, is leashed trained, and has had no health problems. He is loyal and respects boundaries and verbal instruction regarding guarding duties. He has introduced and trained puppies in farm guarding with great success. Both Anika and Vidar can be trusted around children, other pets and company that is introduced to them accordingly. We believe these traits offer the best temperament for a homesteading environment.
Our first Maremma Ragnar, was as a rescue from a farmer in the foothills of Central Virginia. He was not a registered purebred but was noted as a purebred Maremma working dog. He did not breed.
Our second dog Rolo (Below) is 80 pounds, the sire of three previous litters and grandfather to our current litter. He came from Woodsong Naturals Farm https://www.facebook.com/woodsongnaturalsfarm/ from a registered sire and Ragnar’s sister (photos not available). Rolo was our first breeding male and the grandfather to our current litter, father to Vidar. He also has had excellent health. He has had only one incident requiring a vet visit after a playful puppy injury at 6 months of age.
Helga is 75 pounds (above), and was our first female Maremma and the mother Vidar who fathered our current litter. She has had no health problems or wandering issues. Helga has retired from the breeding program and resides in New York on a pig farm. Helga (Above) was from the Sire – Registered Male Benelli Vinci (Below right) and Mother Dog – Barrett (Below left) both from Finder Hampshire Farm. Benelli came from Janice Buttita out of Vincenzo x Donatella. Barrett is out of Bonnie x Ruger of Finder Hampshire.
