The Maremma was originally bred to guard flocks in their early origin, but have now adapted to the life of companion dogs. This beautiful looking breed is a large dog, with a long snout and triangular ears. Although they look like a white Golden Retriever, they are not actually related through origin!
Although they are mainly white, they can be found with ivory and caramel markings occasionally. Their nose is jet black as puppies, but often changes to a light pink with age.
Although the breed is a loyal and loving companion, they do require plenty of exercise as they are used to roaming wide open spaces. A big back yard is a requirement, and long walks daily are recommended.
They are also fantastic guard dogs but not described as constant barkers. Their all-weather coat allows them to sleep comfortably outside in any condition.
Although they are a loving breed, supervision with small animals and children should be advised as they are used to hearding or guarding flocks and can become possessive.
With the right amount of exercise, the Maremma proves to be a fantastic companion even with young families, protecting the yard without excessive noise.
