Livestock guardian dogs

[Kelsykin]

It is a medium to long length hair. Has a bit of a wave to it. Also is a double coat. They are an Italian LGD breed. Breed to take on wolves.

My great Pyrenees have long and thick coats. it is pretty but hard to keep up, i have to cut the matts out of it when they start shedding for winter, it is the only safe time to do it as it is a form fo protection for them when it comes to tangling with critters, they get a mouth full of hair insted of dog

Im going to try to get a good picture of Miles the Muppy. He answers to both Miles and Muppy. LMAO

His look is similar to the Great Pyrenees except the tail is straight not curled. His snout is also longer. Once I get a good picture of him what i am saying will make sense.

can't wait to see all of him and i like his name

Here is my newest addition, her name is Annie she is 9 weeks old

I put up a fence to keep my peas out of the cabbage patch and she does not understand, she never seen a fence before and wasn't to happy about it.

Oh how cute. Mine had seen fencing before. They had them in a kennel outside with Mom until we came and got him.

She looks very similar but has bits of a yellowish tan tint to part of his ears. Not as heavy with the coloring on the ears. Just a hint of color in a section or two of the ears.

That's "reacting"

Any yard dog can do that

I love Miles to death, even when he gets the stubborn.


He got his name because we had to drive 40 miles from where we got him and home. My husband said if he "yaks any more we calling him Miles, because we have been getting about 5 miles to the yak."


Before we even got Miles, I researched the breed. I asked the breeder a ton of questions and repeated myself a few times. I bet she was so glad when we finally picked him up. LMAO

Maremmas are a lot less common than Great Pyrs, and more likely to be purebred

Hard at work, guarding chickens

Do you really have chickens?
If maremmas were bred for protecting sheep it makes sense that there would be more in your area, we raise cattle in texas not so many sheep
