We now offer Livestock Guardian Dog Teams!
So many people contact us looking to purchase an adult and a puppy or a pair of juvenile/adult dogs but the price of an older dog is prohibitive. In order to better serve our clients and ensure the success and happiness of our dogs we now offer discounts on adults and older juveniles (1+) if purchased with a puppy, juvenile or another adult. We will choose the pair that is most suited to working together, based on what each clients needs are. No discounts given on breeding quality dogs.

Has a well balanced temperament; affectionate and friendly with their family, friends and people they are properly introduced to but wary of uninvited strangers that might seek to steal or harm their charges.
Has a sound body with no defects that would interfere with them doing their job as a LGD. Puppies will only be produced out of parents with good hip scores.
Comes with a Puppy Contract and 2 year Health Guarantee.
Will be properly socialized with a variety of livestock, including goats and poultry, from the first weeks of life until leaving the farm, so that they will mature into trustworthy, safe LGD's that would lay down their lives to protect their charges.
Will be properly socialized with humans, including small children and teenagers, so that they will be safe to handle and comfortable around a variety of people and situations.
Will be trained with positive reinforcement methods, including Puppy Culture, Karen Pryor Academy Clicker Training, Early Neurological Stimulation, BAB Puppy Curriculum and other positive training methods. They will be exposed to a wide variety of experiences in order to help them mature into well balanced, happy and well adjusted LGD's.

Is microchipped and enrolled for life in the Petlink Pet Recovery System, with Prancing Pony Farm as the guardian on the account, in case the owner can't be reached if the puppy gets lost.
Comes with Lifetime Support from Prancing Pony Farm. We are always available to answer questions and give advice and support however we can. We also provide many useful links and articles on our website, which we are continually adding to. And we have a private Facebook Group for families who have bought goats and puppies from us, where owners can connect with other Prancing Pony Farm Maremma owners and ask questions, share photos and stories and more.
Comes with a LIFETIME Satisfaction Guarantee. If at any time in your dog's life you can no longer keep it, because you sold your farm, because of life circumstances or for any reason we will gladly take your dog back (take back, not buy back) and find it a new home and job guarding livestock or a retirement home if it's no longer able to do it's job. If a suitable home can't be found we will keep the dog ourselves. We never want one of our dogs to end up in a rescue situation and there is no reason why they ever should because we stand behind our dogs.
