Maremma Sheepdog Breeding

Maremma Puppies Coming October 2018

The Maremma Sheepdog, in Italian Cane da pastore Maremmano-Abruzzese, usually referred to as just Maremmano, is a breed of livestock guardian dog indigenous to central Italy, particularly to Abruzzo and the Maremma region of Tuscany and Lazio. It has been used for centuries by Italian shepherds to guard sheep from wolves. The literal English translation of the name is "The dog of the shepherds of the Maremma and Abruzzese region".

English Shepherd Breeding

English Shepherd Puppies
 

They no to keep the cattle off of the gate when I am trying to move feed, and always help me move the cattle in and out for working. Great vermin dogs, we have almost no coons and opossums to deal with. Tremendous companion dogs that want nothing more than to be with you, and help you work, these dogs are a real joy to be with each day. We raise a litter of pups from Annie and Zeke, most every year, and have placed puppies from Texas to New Hampshire, and North Carolina to Missouri.

Katahdin Sheep

Breeding & Meat
 

This non wool producing breed self sheds each spring reducing the need for shearing and the stress and cost involved. They have a greatly increased natural parasite resistance which means less deworming. Being a haired breed means a milder flavored, lighter colored meat. We are in the process of strengthening our genetics with the purchase of new ewes, and a new ram. These improvements will help us provide some of the best Katadhin genetics in the Midwest.
