Stoneybrook Maremmas
Currently taking reservations for our January 2012 litter!
At Stoneybrook Maremmas, it is our goal to preserve the natural guarding instinct of the Maremma Sheepdog. We consider it privilege to introduce this wonderful breed of livestock guardian and believe it is our responsibility to maintain the integrity of the Maremma Sheepdog. Only animals that prove to excel in temperament and health are allowed to be a part of our breeding program, which reflects the standards set forth in the MSCA Code of Ethics.
All Stoneybrook Maremmas are OFA certified and screened for potential health problems before being accepted into our breeding program. Females are not allowed to produce more than one litter per year, nor are they permitted to whelp before the age of two. Males are evaluated for breeding soundness and must present a gentle character as well as a natural instinct to protect the stock. All candidates must conform to the breed standard.
In selecting a pup, we aim to focus first and foremost on temperament, health,
conformation and appearance, in that order. Pups are selected based on the
individual needs of the customer, and will be sold to working homes only.
A limited number will be sold into breeding programs, with preference to those
having former knowledge and experience with the Maremma breed. All pups
are raised in a healthy environment, observed and handled daily, and
exposed to a variety of livestock throughout their first 8 weeks of life.
They are given their first shots, dewormed and microchipped prior to being
released to their new homes.
We also furnish a written health
guarantee, as well as cash incentive if spayed or neutered at an appropriate
age. Buyer is
responsible for all shipping fees, including cost of kennel. Pups are
reserved quickly so please contact us early and tell us a little bit about
yourself and your needs...
