About Winston
All listing information is self-reported. Verify information before conducting business. Learn more here
Winston is a perfect purebred Maremma livestock guardian dog. He has been raised with sheep since he was 10 weeks old. He is used to being fence in with one strand of electric fence wire. He is current on all of his vaccinations. He would also make an all around great farm dog. He is friendly with all livestock and he is great with children. He has a beautiful hair coat and the Maremma breed originated in Italy as a livestock guard dog. They are a little smaller frame than a Great Pyrenees breed and they don’t wander away like the Pyrenees are known to do. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Maremma Sheepdog Puppies
About Maremma Sheepdog Puppies
What is a Maremma Sheepdog like?
Maremma Sheepdogs are herding dogs who are fierce enough to fend off nearly any predator. They like to make their own decisions and are very protective of their human and animal friends. This breed is not for beginners, and although they are sometimes kept as a pet, they're best suited to a family who will let them fulfill their intended purpose of guarding a flock. Full-grown, they typically weigh 65-100 pounds and stand 23-29 inches tall.
Do Maremma Sheepdogs do well in a busy household?
Maremma Sheepdogs are generally good with kids, especially when raised together. Maremma Sheepdogs fit best in rural homes where they are allowed to guard a flock in a rural area where no one will mind their excessive barking. Maremma Sheepdogs are protective of the children in their owner's family, but they do not enjoy being poked and prodded by toddlers, so supervision is suggested. They're relatively quiet and don't bark much.
How much exercise does a Maremma Sheepdog need?
Maremma sheepdogs thrive when they are tending to their flock, and they need time to run free in open space to be happy. A simple walk once a day will not do; they need lots of stimulation - both mental and physical. You must always make sure your Maremma Sheepdog understands that you are in charge during exercise time, otherwise they will think they’re the boss. Overall, their exercise needs are moderate.
How much grooming does a Maremma Sheepdog need?
Maremma Sheepdogs have a dense coat that sheds once in the spring and once in the fall. If your Maremma Sheepdog is not exposed to the weather every day, you’ll want to brush them once or twice a week and more often when they’re shedding. Dogs that are used as livestock guardians do not require extensive care for their coats. Grooming-wise, this breed is moderate.
What kind of home is best for a Maremma Sheepdog?
Maremma Sheepdogs are best suited for a house with a good-sized yard. Maremma Sheepdogs fit best in rural homes where they are allowed to guard a flock in a rural area where no one will mind their excessive barking. If you do not keep other animals, this breed requires a home with a large, fenced-in yard. They are fairly easy to train.
Puppy Buyer's FAQ
See Full Guide Here

Visit or Video Call the Breeder
Visit in person if possible, or request a live video call to meet the puppy, see its living conditions, and meet the mom. Ask to see where the dogs eat, sleep, and play.
Get a Vet Exam Immediately
Have a vet examine the puppy within two days of bringing it home, even if it seems healthy.
Request Complete Health Records
Ask for vaccination records, deworming history, and vet exam results. For purebreds, ask for parent health clearances.
Get Everything in Writing
Written contract with health guarantees, return/refund policy, and spay/neuter terms. Verbal promises are unenforceable.
Use Secure Payment Methods
Pay with a credit card or another traceable method that offers buyer protection. Avoid wire transfers, crypto, or gift cards, which are difficult to recover.
Verify Breeder Credentials
Check USDA license, state breeder license, breed club memberships, and reviews. Ask for buyer references.
Know What to Look For
A trustworthy breeder welcomes visits, specializes in one or two breeds, prices fairly, and gives you time to decide without pressure.
Know Your State's Laws
Some states have lemon laws; others rely on contract law. Know your rights before you buy.
