Maremma Sheepdog

Despite their large size, Maremma can be good companion dogs in areas with adequate open space. Centuries of breeding the dogs to be gentle with lambs but fiercely protective of their flock has created a breed that will bond to families and show a calm, intelligent disposition. However, the dogs may display hostility towards outsiders and they are not suitable companion dogs for urban areas due to their large size and need for open space. Some words to describe the Abruzzenhund could be friendly, smart and alert. They can also learn commands easily, however when training, you should vary the types of drills so your dog doesn’t become bored. The Abruzzenhund gets along well with children and they make good household pets.
