    Escalating dog aggressiveness

    Your Abby may do better, and feel more secure, in a one dog family. My Maremma was so totally bonded to me that the other dogs could not even make eye contact with me. I think it was that total bond that made him so agressive to the other animals, I don't think that behavior is a trait of the...

    Escalating dog aggressiveness

    It sounds like Abby has some very dominant dog breeds in her background. We had a male Maremma, similiar to a Great Pyr who had extreme aggression problems. As he got older he wanted to dominate the other two males that he had gotten along with before. Painfully, we had to put him down as he...

    Midweight Blanket suggestions?

    You could try a fleece liner under his sheet. Or maybe a slinky underneath.

    What are your top five scary movies?

    The Skeleton Key I watched the ending of this movie, and NO WAY will I watch the whole movie, totally scary. Just the ending gave me nightmares!!! You can still catch the movie trailer on your web search.

    Livestock Guard Dogs

    Good information in that reply! We should always take into consideration what the dog is bred for and not try to change it to suit us! That said, a Maremma is a wonderful guardian animal and needs to be allowed to do his work. A busy dog is a happy dog!

    Livestock Guard Dogs

    R Whiteman--do you think we would have had less agression problems if we had picked out a female? Or perhaps that Theo was so bonded to me? He actually picked me out. He was very loving except for the other dog agression problem, and it was a BIG problem.

    Livestock Guard Dogs

    Maremmas are the Italian version of a Great Pyrenees. We had one, looked just like a Pyr. I loved that boy. As a 6 month puppy he found an aborted foal in the pasture and would not leave it. When I went out to find him, he brought it gently to me. He was totally devoted to me and my grand...

    overo pattern

    YES!! They are getting mostly sabino mares, with a few solid mares tossed in (sounds like a salad!). A few mares went in with PaleFace in the Fall, most will go in this Spring, the hard part will be the waiting almost another year to see babies... As a 2 yr old, Lucky will get just a few...
