Who is behind Mareus?
I am long time dog person, and my first dog I get when I was 16 years old. I have grown with horses from 7-years old, while I take care one bigger stable horse and practically I was stable all the time what was rest after sleep and school. Spend my summers in cow and horsefarm.
Now I have small farm on my own. I have some sheeps, highland cattle and horses. Also large guardian breed maremmano-abruzzese has taken my heart. I have been breeding since 2007, and my first pma arrived to our family from kennel Juppsguard, Anne Juppi at 2005.
Since then I have been travelling around Abruzzo, Toscana and Italian alps to see these great dogs at work. I have been so grateful to meet these fantastic breeders, shepherds and owners of this breed.
I have been studied a lot LGD dogs also how these are used all over the world. I have send my breeding dogs here Finland of course, but also to Estonia, Sweden, Kanada, and also Italy. My breeding female lives in Toscana area 700 sheeps farm with other guardian dogs and is involved in Italian Club CPMA projectdog.
I try to keep this breed as it should be. Great dog to prevent predators attacts, with good temeperament towards people when owner is near and also not start to be so aggressive with people. It is important in these days enviroment while example tourists move so much even around pastures where sheeps are. Also I think good balanced working dog is able to mannige to be at shows.
This breed is very humble and loyal to it´s owner, and need to be outside of it´s own area very calm and even strangers can handle when owner is there. Sometimes pma can be also very open and friendly if there has been done work to socialiced with good way to happy people around.
I want to offer something very great, and good for people to help their predator problems and also that children can play without any fear on thay own home yeard. Maremmano-abruzzese is excellent dog to country side to keep animals, family and areas safe from intruders.
