Picking Your Puppy Up In Person

Safe Transportation Home
We suggest you bring an appropriately sized dog crate to transport your puppy. You can have your pup ride loose in your car, but a dog crate inside your vehicle is safer in case of accidents.
We do not allow puppies to leave loose or crated in the back of a pickup!
Also, be aware that your puppy could get carsick or have an accident in the car. We suggest you bring towels if you need to clean up after them.
Your Puppy Needs a Harness
You will need a harness (not a collar) for your puppy. We use and recommend Blue 9 Balance Harnesses. Harnesses are safer and more comfortable for walking dogs.
You can purchase a harness in our store and pick it up when you pick up your puppy. Or you can buy one elsewhere and bring it to pick up your pup. We will provide a complimentary leash for your pup.
Keep Your Puppy Safe
If you need to walk your puppy during your trip home, please take it to a secluded area away from traffic that is not likely to be frequented by other dogs. This decreases the risk of disease exposure and prevents the puppy from becoming nervous in a new place, getting away from you, and possibly getting hurt or lost.
Not all dogs visiting a rest stop or hotel are healthy or vaccinated, so use extreme caution when taking your puppy out in areas frequented by other dogs.
Order a Harness for a Your Maremma Below
We train our Maremmas to be walked with harnesses, not collars. Harnesses are safer and more comfortable for dogs. You can train your puppy to a collar later if you would like, but we suggest you use a harness on your puppy when you first take it home.
The harness we use is the Blue 9 Balance Harness, and this is the one we suggest you use. We sell them on our website. If you would like, you can order your harness through our farm store, and we will have it ready when you pick up your puppy. You can also order this harness or a similar brand through Amazon or some other company and bring it when you pick up your Maremma.
Harness Sizing Info
- 3-5 months old – a size medium generally fits these pups
- 6-12 months old – usually a medium/large fits, but some larger pups may be ready to move up to a large sooner
- 1-2 years old – medium/large or large, depending on the dog – please ask. (Most males and some females need a large. Most females can fit a medium/large as adults.)
Long Lines for Your Maremma
We include a complimentary 6′ leash with each harness, but we usually walk our dogs on a 15-foot-long line for training purposes. You can buy one of those through Amazon if you like.
