Meet Our 11-Week-Old Maremma x Great Pyrenees Puppy 🐾

This beautiful 11-week-old puppy is a Maremma Sheepdog x Great Pyrenees mix-two renowned livestock guardian breeds known for their loyalty, intelligence, and calm confidence. With the right home, this pup will grow into a devoted, steady, and protective companion.

About the Breed Mix:
Maremmas and Great Pyrenees are both livestock guardian dogs (LGDs), bred for centuries to live with and protect animals rather than to follow constant human direction. Because of this, adopters should understand that this puppy will likely grow into a dog who is:

• Large to giant in size (often 40-55+ kg when fully grown)

• Independent and thoughtful, not overly obedient or eager-to-please

• Naturally protective of their home, family, and animals

• Calm and gentle, especially with children and animals they are raised with

• Alert and vocal, particularly at night, as guarding is instinctual

• Slow to mature, both physically and mentally

Early socialization, clear boundaries, and patient, consistent training are essential for this breed mix to thrive.

Ideal Home & Suitable Adopter
This puppy will do best with:

• A home with space (rural or semi-rural preferred)

• Secure fencing and a safe environment

• People who understand or are willing to learn about livestock guardian breeds

• Owners who value a companion and protector, not a dog that needs constant direction

• Families with older children who respect dogs, or animal-savvy households

• Ideally, a home with livestock or acreage, though committed, experienced owners without livestock may also be suitable

This is not a good match for apartment living or for someone wanting a highly trainable, always-obedient dog.

In Return, You’ll Get:
A loyal, watchful companion who bonds deeply with their people, takes their role seriously, and offers quiet devotion and protection for years to come.

If you’re looking for a special dog with strong instincts, a gentle heart, and the potential to become an incredible guardian, this puppy may be the perfect fit.
