Joshua, a Maremma puppy, came to Judah Farm on July 4th, 2013. He will help Sweetie, our Kuvasz, protect our sheep flock from coyotes. Maremmas are a livestock guarding dog, bred in Italy for centuries to guard large flocks of sheep on the plains and in the mountains. Other Old World breeds with similar temperament are the Great Pyrenees in France, the Komondor and the Kuvasz in Hungary, the Tatra in Poland, the Shar-Planinetz in Yugoslovia, the Anatolian and Akbash in Turkey, and the Tibetan Mastiff in Nepal and Tibet. The Maremma lives day and night with its flock, the white coat mimics the white fleece of the sheep. Guardian dog breeds were developed at least 2,000 years ago to take responsibility for keeping a sheep flock safe from wolves and other predators. |

What happens when our Katahdin sheep notice that the llamas have left some feed in one of their buckets? | ||||
