CODE OF ETHICS BREEDERS
The Maremma Sheepdog Club of America aspires to protect the development of Maremma Sheepdogs by encouraging breeders to adopt the Code of Ethics to promote and foster the highest standards among breeders who are concerned with the propagation of physically, mentally and temperamentally sound Maremma Sheepdogs of proper breed type, and to encourage cooperation in the improvement, advancement, and protection of our breed.
Code of Ethics Breeders accept responsibility for the protection, well-being and improvement of the breed and agree to the following:
Code of Ethics Breeders accept responsibility for the protection, well-being and improvement of the breed and agree to the following:
- CoE Breeders educate themselves about the Maremma Sheepdog, its history, temperament, needs and health issues.
- CoE Breeders breed only those Maremma Sheepdogs which have no radical departure from the official breed standard as accepted by MSCA, including temperament flaws.
- CoE Breeders breed only for the purpose of improving the quality of the breed as livestock guardians.
- CoE Breeders breed only those dogs who have received either OFA hip certification as being clear of hip dysplasia, or PennHIP DI scores of less than 0.51, and will record all tests openly with the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA).
- CoE Breeders breed discriminately and only upon strong evidence of the possibility of finding suitable homes for the resulting puppies.
- CoE Breeders breed only physically and mentally mature dogs of appropriate breeding age, and refrain from breeding any dog or bitch that consistently produces progeny with serious faults or hereditary health issues.
- CoE Breeders are available to buyers for advice they may need for the life of the dog and educate prospective owners of the advantages, disadvantages & responsibilities of owning a Maremma Sheepdog.
- CoE Breeders take responsibility for all offspring produced in their breeding program and will assist in their lifetime placements and re-homing if necessary, and will assume responsibility for any dog of their breeding if the owner must relinquish their dog, or for any dog of their breeding which comes into the possession of a rescue network or shelter.
Breeders who have signed the MSCA Code of Ethics are highlighted and marked with an asterisk (*). The MSCA is not liable for individual breeders adherence to the MSCA Code of Ethics. It is the responsibility of any potential buyers to ask pertinent questions of the breeder to discern their responsibility as breeders, especially as it relates to OFA and/or PennHip certifications and ratings.
To become a MSCA Code of Ethics Breeder, you must print, sign and submit to the MSCA the MSCA Code of Ethics Form (linked below) ALONG WITH the hip certifications of your breeding dogs (copies of certifications - OFA HIP CERTIFICATE/PennHIP CERTIFICATE and/or the link to the dog's individual OFA page).

Benson Maremmas Gold Hill, OR Phone: 541-855-5503 Email: cindy@bensonranch.com Website: www.bensonmaremmas.com Benson Ranch is 360 acres of serenity. Working in pairs with their spayed/neutered partners, our Maremmas guard our herd of Miniature Donkeys in addition to a variety of other types of livestock. All of our breeding dogs are health tested with excellent hip scores. We have selected for trustworthy dogs with strong working ability and tractable temperaments. To learn more about our dogs please visit our web site. Visitors to the ranch are welcome. Age of placement: I place my pups as started adolescent dogs only. They will be at least four months old and have had PennHIP testing completed. Giving my puppies significant training prior to them leaving me increases their likelihood of success and the satisfaction of their new owners. This helps to keep my puppies safe in their new lives. Benson Ranch is now an Maremma training facility, so as well as raising livestock and producing outstanding Maremma puppies, we offer training on a per month basis. Buyers of my pups have the option of leaving them here with me in training beyond the minimum age at which they can leave. I think placing started pups at five to eight months of age is ideal. Price: $2000, sold with Limited registration This price is for a pup four to five months of age, with PennHIP testing included. Additional training for pups produced here is $200 per month. Training is also an option for pups purchased elsewhere at $250 per month. |

You will find our Maremmas contentedly guarding chickens, sheep, cattle, horses, and guinea fowl. We love the Maremma because they are a loyal livestock guardian dog who make their presence known with predators, all the while possessing a friendly temperament with people, dogs, and cats. Striving to preserve the breed, we take pedigree genetics and hip testing seriously by selecting for health, working ability, temperament, and conformation. The Maremmas residing on our farm have excellent bloodlines and their hips have been X-rayed, evaluated, and scored with PennHIP. When carefully choosing our Maremma's we traveled extensively, to bring home LGD’s from proven working parents. Our Maremma's have reputable foundational lines from many respected breeders and proven working dogs. Our male's Dam is a direct Italian import (by a fellow breeder who traveled to Italy) adding new and diverse bloodlines to the Maremma’s in the states. 2J 2K Maremma puppies have a pedigree with a low inbreeding coefficient. This is a key aspect in preserving the Maremma Sheepdog’s future vitality. Puppies now available and ready for their new homes in May 2019. Come visit the farm or we will help arrange the delivery of your new Maremma puppy, via flight nanny, airline approved kennel, or personal delivery. Contact us for an application and let us know what you’re looking for in a livestock guardian dog and the type of home you will provide. Like us on Facebook: 2j2kbordercollies.com/maremmasheepdogs |

Brockhaven Farm is a beautiful farm nestled at the very base of the Willapa Hills in SW Washington. Our Maremma sheepdogs valiantly guard our top quality registered Icelandic sheep amid a high predator area and they keep them safe. I have premium dogs. They are very healthy, and even my aging dogs show no concerning health issues. I breed for overall excellence, both with my sheep and with my Maremma sheepdogs. With my Maremma's I breed for a great temperament, wonderful working ability and beauty, in that order of priority. Currently, I do have 8 bouncing boys available to loving, working, forever homes. Like their dam and sire, they all have amazing temperaments and are gorgeous and show every sign of becoming great working dogs. I take great pride in my care of every puppy I raise. They are given high quality food, including goat's milk, quality vet care, they are socialized with our family and our livestock and are given rudimentary training. I put a great deal of effort into my puppies because I want them to reach their potential and this is the most important foundational time to set this in place. My puppies are always treated with love and care and I look for homes that will give them the quality care that they deserve, and in return, they will get the dog of a lifetime. I occasionally have a litter, so please contact me by phone if you would like to be put on a list. I am always happy to answer questions and when you get a puppy from me, you will always have me available for guidance and direction.

We are located in the heart of Saskatchewan Canada, close to the village of Annaheim. We have a number of animals on our acreage that include goats, sheep, horses, cows, chickens, rabbits, and cats.
In 2016 our search for a Maremma LGD led us to RLT Farms in Spirit River Alberta and we purchased our first two Maremmas, Sheena and Lexi. RLT farms imported both their sir and Dam to Canada from Italy.
In the spring of 2017, we decided to add a breeding male and that search led us to Peavine Hollow Farms in Virginia, U.S. and we had Nicoloè imported to Canada. He is a fourth Generation male from their breeding program and one of their last as they have retired.
We have retained a female pup from Sheena's and Lexi's first litters for future breeding females and we are in the process of importing a second breeding male from Moonacre Maremmas in Arizona.
Our pups are born and raised in the pasture with the livestock and their early developmental training is done by their Dam and Sire. While they are here with us we try to give them exposure to all the livestock.
We currently have one spring litter available for sale. They were born on April,11th 2019. Dam: Lexi, (Lexi Anna Starling) Sire: Nicolo, (Peavine Hollows Nicolo Thunder). Five males and One female are still available for sale.
We hope to have a fall litter from Sheena, (Sheena Maria Chevalier) and Nicolo, (Peavine Hollows Nicolo Thunder) as well.

Westslope Ranch is a small but cozy operation where the sheep, goats and poultry are protected by the regal and fearless Willow and Wolfgang, our Maremma Sheepdogs. Our dogs are raised with livestock but also allowed to come in the house at times for family bonding. Both Willow and Wolfgang have sweet, loving, loyal personalities and when in the pastures, they are protective against predators, suspicious of strangers and constantly using their incredible senses to identify threats. At Westslope Ranch we believe there is a balance between duty and family and we raise our beautiful, weather hardy Maremmas to that same degree. Please inquire about any litters or planned litters .
