Prancing Pony Maremmas has Moved!

I wanted to share an exciting update about Prancing Pony Maremma Sheepdogs. We have moved! No, we didn't sell the farm (as if!), but the "home" on the web for my Maremma Sheepdog breeding program has officially moved!

I built my original website here on Weebly when I started my business in 2016, and I have been blogging here for years. This site has many great blog posts and helpful LGD and dairy goat articles. But Weebly, as a website and blog hosting platform, has a lot of problems and limitations that have started to really impact my business. I've wanted to move my website and blog to WordPress for a long time, but I was afraid to do so for several reasons.

The first reason is that I was worried that moving to a new site would mess up my ranking on Google and that no one would be able to find me. The second thing that held me back was that I always heard that WordPress is "really hard" to figure out, and I didn't think I could do it.

But about a month ago, I finally decided to make a change. I also decided that instead of moving my entire site, I would just move the Maremmas to a new WordPress site and leave the goats where they are, on this original Weebly site. The idea was that, hopefully, my Google ranking wouldn't be adversely impacted on my old site that way, and I would have time to figure out WordPress and build my new Maremma site at my own pace. So, I purchased a new domain name for the new site, and prancingponymaremmas.com was born!

Over the last few weeks, I have been slowly building my new website and getting things the way I wanted. It wasn't nearly as hard as I thought it would be, and I wish I had done this years ago. In fact, I must say I'm pretty much obsessed with WordPress! In the words of Princess Anna "This is so amazing!!" ​

WordPress will allow me to make my website more helpful than ever to people like you while also decreasing my workload so I have more time to train those adorable Maremma puppies!

I still want to add and tweak things on the new website, but it's time to start working on the blog for that site. That will be a much slower process, but in time I plan to have even more great Maremma content over there as I have here so keep your eye on that site. In the meantime you can always come back to this site to read past posts about Maremma Sheepdogs and Livestock Guardian Dogs.

From now on the new site will be where I post all my Maremma Sheepdog, Livestock Guardian Dog and Dog Training articles, while this site will be only for dairy goat content. (I love WordPress so much that I may eventually move the goat breeding program to a new site over there. But for now they will stay right here.)

I'm going to keep all the original Maremma posts here and keep a few of my Maremma website pages here until the new site starts getting traction. Then eventually I'll remove all the Maremma pages from this site and make this domain (prancingponyfarm.com) only for my dairy goat breeding program and the new website and domain (prancingponymaremmas.com) for all Maremma Sheepdog and Livestock Guardian Dog content.
