Description

Give yourself the gift of peace of mind and protection for all of your animals...\r\n\r\nITALIAN MAREMMAS! The best Livestock Guardians created! Maremmas originated from Italy and are proven to be effective guardians of all types of livestock. They helped save endangered spiecies (such as the \"fairy penguins\"). Fairy Penuins were once nearly extinct, hunted by local foxes in Australia, but now they are flourishing again, thanks to the Italian Maremma.\r\n\r\nSince having Maremmas on our farm, we no longer worry about losing animals to predators.\r\n\r\nMaremmas have a gentle demeanor with their animals. Environmentalist love Maremmas because they were bred to have a low kill drive. It’s their fierce bark and threatening body language that scare off predators (coyotes, mountain lions, raccoons, possums, hawks, bears, etc) to keep your animals safe.\r\n\r\nThese rare (in the U.S.) and beautiful Maremmas are not primarily used as companion dogs. Although some have reported great pleasure in having them as companion dogs, we don\'t recommend them as such and are looking to home these puppies as working LGDs. They are truly extraordinary creatures and we encourage you to do a little research of your own to find out why they are so special.\r\n\r\nFather and Mother are both working Maremmas on our ranch. They have been exposed to chickens, goats, cattle, horses, ponies, peacocks & a family purse dog.\r\n\r\nBorn 11/6/18. They will not be ready to leave their mother until the end of December. You may choose yours now. We are taking $200 deposits to reserve your Maremma. $600 due upon pick up

Buyer Protect Yourself

Pawbe

1000's of reputable breeders use Pawbe.com to list their puppies with many more satisfied puppy owners. Occasionally, however, there maybe some listings that are possible scams or outright fraud.
Below is a simple list of 5 things to consider when buying a puppy online. When something doesn't seem right, it is much easier and safer to just walk away.

1.Go beyond email & texting. While email & texting is great to initiate contact, you always want to talk on the phone and meet in person with the seller. Sellers who only want to text are usually hiding something. Anyone refusing to use the phone for communication is someone you want to avoid.

2.Avoid Wiring Money - Use Paypal or Escrow.com. A seller who will only accept Western Union or money wires for payment or some other MoneyGram/Instant Transfer does not give you any protection as a buyer. Services such as paypal or escrow.com at least gives you some form of buyer protection. This can also involve shipping scams where they ask you to send the shipping fee upfront.

3.Avoid Overseas Sellers. Each breeder, fills out a both a US State and City. If the seller is saying they are located overseas, that usually indicates a scam. Locations such as Cameroon, Nigeria, or other African countries are most common. It will usually involve some elaborate story as to why they are in a different country as well.

4.Request Personalized Photos. Very simple to do is to just request additional photos of the puppies that are personalized. Your name & date on a piece of paper, a shoe, or anything else that YOU request. If they refuse to do this, best to just walk away.

5.Define a Contract Having a clearly written contract will protect the buyer and seller. Things that you can include are dog breed, registration, health guarantees, return policy, shipping info, DOB, matching photo, etc... If a signed contract is not followed, any buyer would have the option to pursue legal action against the seller.
While there is no foolproof way to identify a possible scam, the above 5 action steps will safeguard you from most shady listings. If you do run across a listing or breeder that makes you suspicious, please contact us and we will investigate the matter further.
