Maremma Puppy Questionnaire

To ensure the best match between our puppies and their future homes, we require all prospective owners to complete our puppy questionnaire (below).  This helps us understand your property, lifestyle, and expectations for your Maremma—whether as a working guardian or companion. The more complete, thorough and honest you are in your answers, the better we will be able to serve you. Responsible placement is key to a successful, lifelong bond and supports the integrity of the breed. 

Important note: Maremma are unsuitable for apartment and residential living, they require a lifestyle property or farm, good fences, amicable neighbours and owners who are willing to follow through on commands to ensure their puppy grows up into a social dog. On average this takes up to two years. Check out the many YouTube channels on this subject.
