Maremma on the job:
I received this email from one of my maremma clients, Greeta Mills and wanted to share it with you all:
Hi Janice,
I’ll get a new picture sent your way. I really love Tessa. Last Friday night, she was barking, barking, barking! I went out to check on things since the other dogs weren’t barking. Like a real smart one, I went out without a flashlight, got over near her, and heard a rattler. I sprinted to the house for a flashlight and a shovel. Once I killed the snake, Tessa got a special treat, and I had a good night!

Great job Tessa! Tessa is currently 7 months old and is already proving to be an amazing guard dog. Tessa guards goats in Maricopa.
I can’t tell you how many times my maremmas have gone crazy barking. They alert me to visitors to the ranch or to the roaming coyote. Of course, there are times when Bianca barks at a june bug flying a little to close to her, but that is just Bianca. When all dogs bark is when I know I need to go investigate. Thanks to the maremmas I know my alpacas are safe.
