Morning all! Made that long haul back to NY again to pick up Remi, he has finished his training and I brought him home a baby sister! Am I crazy or what??? Pictures soon! Traffic was horrible going out, friday afternoon going through Toronto was no fun, then later we hit a major traffic jam, turns out a bad accident had shut down the other side of the highway and almost shut down our side. Took us an additional 4 hours to get there! UGH!
Anyone interested in a Maremma puppy, these people are awesome! She normally has most puppies sold before she breeds, but had 10 deposits before breeding and her female only had 7 last time, so she bred 2 this time and the 1st female had 13 and the second one had 7!! WOW!! I decided to get another when I was there in Jan, they were just 2 weeks and the second litter was due any day. I think she has a couple of pups still available. She raises and trains Maremmas, she keeps the livestock to train the dogs, not the dogs to keep the livestock safe. The dogs are her primary concern, the other animals are just a bonus. She has an amazing understanding of these dogs and gets dogs in for training and retraining from all over and even has people who fly in to do training sessions with her. There were people from Australia there right before us. Yet, there are very down to earth, non assuming, homeschooling, hard working, honest, farm family. She has imported several dogs from Italy, including the sire to both my dogs and is looking to import a few more this year.
Sorry to ramble, just excited after my trip. Hope this cold snap doesn't last long.
