Meet the breeder
I'm Bing C., the breeder behind Wildsong Farm located in Cochecton, NY. Wildsong is a regenerative food forest farm and Nature retreat center. Our Maremmas are working dogs, protecting our ducks & geese. We are dedicated to breeding healthy, happy working Maremmas. To give our puppies the best start, we keep them for 12 weeks and raise them with Puppy Culture protocols.
Q. & A. with Bing
Why did you start breeding?
The two original Maremmas we purchased to protect our livestock have been such a joy, and so effective at keeping predators out, that we wanted to continue with Maremmas long after our first ones' natural lifespans. We've also learned that dogs learn best from their environment, from birth. So we initially decided to breed them for the success of our own farm.What makes your program special?
We are dedicated to breeding healthy, happy working Maremmas. To give our puppies the best start, we keep them for a minimum of 12 weeks. During that time, we train, socialize, and implement Dr Carmen Battaglia's neurological stimulation protocol. And they learn from their parents in the field. We raise our dogs amongst poultry - especially geese and ducks.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

Hashish Kebab, dad
Maremma Sheepdog
About Hashish Kebab
Hashish is a loving, alert livestock guardian dog. He has full registration with the Maremma Sheepdog Club of America. And is truly a physical specimen! Not only is he beautiful, he has impeccable health, PennHip score 0.29 meaning minimal risk of hip issues, incredible stamina and agility, and (experienced dog owners will appreciate this...) is amazing at self-grooming! At the time this photo was taken, it had been 9 months since the last time I brushed or de-matted him. I literally only groom him once a year, and it takes about 5 minutes because all he needs is to snip off any matts that are in areas he can't reach. He does the rest. He is standoff-ish to strangers, and extremely friendly and loving to those he's familiar with. He's incredibly smart and figures things out for himself. e.g. When we get a new mail/delivery person on our route, he'll stop barking at them after the fourth time or so that they come. He can be trusted with food, meaning he can have access to all the food in the world and he will only eat what he needs. Also resourceful - in the Winter, he loves to rear up on his hind legs and smash down on the surface ice in little puddles to get to water. He tends to prefer doing that than walking all the way down to where his heated water bowl is! We have not lost a single bird to predators since we got Hashish and his mate Chicharron. And a nice side benefit for me as a fruit farmer - he hunts and eats voles. And also kills moles, though he doesn't eat those.

Maremma Sheepdog
About Chicharron
Chicha is fully registered with the Maremma Sheepdog Club Association, and has had her hips tested with PennHip and OFA tested shoulders and elbows indicating no issues. She is calm but cautious with strangers - needing to sniff them up and down before letting them pat her. And she is extremely loving and friendly to the humans who care for her - almost like a Golden Retriever. She loves being patted, and receiving belly rubs and treats. Chicha is a gourmet, and can sometimes be a picky eater - she will turn her nose up at low-quality treats, but will slowly chew and savour the good stuff. If you want to see a dog in heaven, give Chicha a piece of cooked pork belly! Very trainable and with a generally calm demeanor, she will mobilize when there's a threat. She'll take off like a shot to bark at stranger dogs, and we have not lost a single bird to predators since we got Chicharron and her mate Hashish. And a nice side benefit for me as a fruit farmer - she hunts and eats voles (she loves them, and savours them slowly). And also kills moles, though she doesn't eat those.

Parent health testing
Excellent level
Wildsong Farm reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Maremma Sheepdogs.
Hip Dysplasia
Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Vet Wellness Exam
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
