Advertising Requirements:
One of the primary goals of the Maremma Sheepdog Club of America is education. Additionally, we believe the protection and betterment of the Maremma breed through the use of health testing should be promoted.
Potential puppy buyers want their new Maremma Sheepdog puppy to have the best possible chance for a long and healthy life. The risks for heritable diseases can be greatly reduced through careful breeding practices, beginning with health screening examinations before breeding.
Every breed is subject to hereditary diseases, and the Maremma Sheepdog is no exception. Failure to screen for heritable diseases before breeding could result in taking unnecessary risks for passing on genetic disease. Risk can never be zero, but health testing offers the best possible chance that the puppy will not develop these genetic diseases.
The MSCA encourages all Maremma Sheepdog breeders to have dogs screened for hip dysplasia before breeding.
Hip dysplasia is the abnormal formation of the “ball-and-socket” hip joint and occurs in many breeds. It is primarily inherited, and development is believed to be influenced by multiple genes. The risk and severity of hip dysplasia may also be increased by environmental factors.
The radiographic appearance of the hips does not always correlate with clinical symptoms, and many dysplastic dogs show no outward signs until middle or older age when secondary arthritis may cause increasing discomfort.
Dogs must be 24 months of age or older to receive final hip certification through the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA), or 4 months of age or older for a PennHIP diagnostic evaluation.
Starting October 1, 2018, all litters or puppies advertised on the “Members Ads” page must be out of dogs who have received permanent hip certification through OFA or PennHIP. Un-altered dogs over 24 months of age are required to have hip certification. Dogs who have been altered may still be advertised.

MoonAcre Maremmas come from a small farm in Northern Arizona where Maremma Sheepdogs guard our property well, giving us a sense of peace knowing our animals are well protected. We are Code Of Ethics Breeders and our breeding dogs are OFA hip and elbow certified which helps to insure that their puppies will have healthy hips and elbows during their lifetime.
Our dogs are intelligent, affectionate working dogs. We strive to breed for excellence in their offspring which will continue to keep, Maremma Sheepdogs the outstanding livestock guardian dogs that they are.
Maremmas are very intelligent and have a unique guarding pattern. This is one of the most amazing qualities of the Maremma. Not all livestock guard dogs are created equal. It is better that Maremmas are not left to guard alone. They work best in groups of three, two is also adequate.
Under most circumstance we require a spay/neuter contract unless the new owner has shown willingness to breed responsibly staying true to the guidelines of the Maremma Sheepdog Club of America. Our puppies have health certificates, age appropriate shots and deworming as well as being Microchipped.
We sell our puppies world wide to qualified buyers. The new owner is responsible for any international shots and vet appointments necessary and the normal responsibilities for shipping a puppy.
We encourage you to learn about this truly unique and amazing LGD before making your decision. If we can help in any way or for more information on specific puppies please call Ginny (731) 608-5131 or e-mail Victoria at filminthevalley@gmail.com.
You will want to put down a transferable yet non refundable deposit soon as these puppies will be ready to go to their forever families, farms and ranches before you know it. Our 13 puppies both male's and females's some already have deposits are growing strong, intelligent and are very loving and we know you will be so happy you have chosen a Maremma.

Saturday February 23, 2019 we welcomed 7 healthy Maremma puppies (4 boys and 3 girls) to our rural farm in the Missouri Ozarks. The puppies are plump little 'butterballs' as we affectionately call them. We have 4 available puppies, one boy and three girls. Two boys are going to Georgia to work guarding Nigerian Dwarf goats and a flock of chickens. Another male is going to Oregon to guard meat goats and rabbits with other Maremmas.
2J 2K Maremma Sheepdogs make beloved livestock guardian dogs. We start our puppies on socialization, potty training, leash training, crate training, and basic commands, using ENS and Puppy Culture methods.

Puppies will come home with a certificate of health issued by our licensed veterinarian, puppy food & toy, starter leash & collar, microchip, vaccination record, registration papers, health guarantee and contract. 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.
