What's Included With My Puppy?
Everything Your Family Needs for Success
When you welcome a Prancing Pony Farm Maremma into your family, you're not just getting a dog—you're getting comprehensive support designed to ensure your success from day one through your dog's entire life.
Our goal is simple: to make your livestock guardian dog experience joyful and stress-free, not another source of worry. We've spent years perfecting our approach so your family can focus on enjoying your farm and family while your Maremma does what they do best—protect your beloved animals.
Here's everything included with your Maremma:
Professional Puppy Training & Socialization Program
Our in-depth and comprehensive puppy socialization and training program takes advantage of the puppies' critical socialization periods. Pups are socialized extensively with livestock and introduced to various people and experiences. Our unique program prepares our puppies for life as LGDs, companion dogs or both.
MSCA or UKC Registration
Pups come with registration with the Maremma Sheepdog Club of America and/or the United Kennel Club. We will register the puppy for you once you decide on a permanent name, then we will send the registration form to you via email for you to print out. We will also supply medical records for your Maremma
Puppy Contract
Our contract outlines what we will do for you as your breeder and our expectations of you as the owner of your puppy
24-Month Genetic Health Guarantee
Our 24-month genetic health guarantee protects you and your pup in the event of health issues arising. We will either replace your dog or assist you if a genetic health issue is identified.
Microchipping
Prepaid microchip registered to you with lifetime enrollment in the Petlink pet recovery system. As guardian on the account, if your dog is lost and you can't be located, we can help get them back home.
Vaccinations
Pups are on an age-appropriate vaccine schedule, starting at six weeks. Rabies vaccine not included.
Parasite Prevention
Pups are on a regular parasite prevention program starting at 2 weeks old.
Trupanion Health Insurance
Pups come with a breeder code for 30 days of free health insurance through Trupanion.
Lifetime Breeder Support
We are ALWAYS available for any questions or concerns you have about your dog. You can reach us by phone, text, or email. If at any time you can no longer keep your dog we will take them back.
Lifetime Professional Training Support
As a Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner, I offer free professional training support and services for as long as you own your dog. I am always here to offer advice, share resources, and help troubleshoot any issues you may encounter.
Start Strong: Prepare for Success Before Your Puppy Arrives
Getting a Maremma puppy is a significant investment—in time, money, and emotion. The difference between a successful working LGD and a frustrated owner often comes down to understanding your dog from day one.
The Dial Method® helps you:
- Understand what your Maremma actually needs (they're fundamentally different from other dogs)
- Set up your environment and routines for success before the puppy arrives
- Communicate clearly with your independent thinker
- Build confidence instead of second-guessing every decision
Available as an add-on to your puppy reservation. Think of it as insurance on your investment—a framework you'll use for your dog's entire lifetime.
FAQs
Q: When will puppies be ready to go home?
A: Puppies from this litter will be ready to go home at 12 weeks old. We do not release puppies earlier than 12 weeks to ensure proper socialization and development.
Q: What livestock are these puppies best suited for?
A: Based on both parents' working backgrounds and early observations, these puppies should excel with all livestock types or as family companions. They're being raised with dairy goats and with exposure to 4 types of poultry, horses, mini horses, donkeys, and cats, which provides an excellent foundation for bonding with all types of livestock.
Q: Do you offer delivery or shipping?
A: We offer local pickup at our farm in Lemoore, CA. Air transport can be arranged for an additional fee. For more info, see our shipping/pickup details page.
Q: What's your reservation/waitlist process?
A: Puppies can be reserved with a $500 non-refundable reservation fee after the application process is completed. For more info on our reservation process, go to our reservation policies page.
Q: Can I visit the farm to meet the parents and puppies?
A: Yes! We encourage farm visits for serious applicants. Visits are by appointment only to minimize stress on the puppies and protect biosecurity. Contact us to schedule a visit.
Q: What health testing have the parents completed?
A: Our breeding dogs have completed health testing including PennHip/OFA Hips and Elbows and DNA testing. You can view full results on each dog's profile page. We follow MSCA Code of Ethics requirements for all breeding dogs.
Q: Can I breed my Prancing Pony Farm Maremma?
A: Most puppies are sold on Limited registration, which means they can't be bred. Breeding rights are available for select puppies going to approved homes. We require a separate breeding agreement and ongoing health testing compliance. For more info see our Breeding Candidates Program page.
Buying a Maremma Sheepdog From Us is Easy!
Step 1
Get on the email list
This is where everyone starts. You'll receive several emails over the next week or two covering our program, our dogs, and what successful Maremma ownership actually looks like. This gives you everything you need to decide if we're the right fit — before either of us invests more time.
Step 2
Apply and book a call
When you're ready to move forward, you'll fill out a short application and schedule a phone call with me at the same time. The application helps me understand what you're looking for in a dog before we talk. The call is where we actually figure out if one of our dogs is the right match for you.
Step 3
Reserve your dog
Reservations start with a $500 non-refundable Master Reservation Fee that holds your place in line and applies toward your purchase price. When a litter is confirmed, a second $500 Litter Commitment Payment locks your specific spot — bringing your total to $1,000, all applied toward your purchase price.
Have a current litter available right now? If spots on an announced litter are open, you can skip the line and reserve directly with a single $1,000 Litter Reservation — same total investment, one step. I'll let you know on our call if that option is currently available.
Just curious and not ready to commit? That's completely fine — stay on the email list and read at your own pace. My weekly newsletter covers training tips, farm stories, and practical LGD advice. You're welcome here as long as you like, and you can apply when the timing is right.
