Glasswater is a dedicated breeding operation specializing in the Maremma Sheepdog, a remarkable livestock guardian breed with deep roots in Italy. Known for their protective instincts and loyalty, Maremmas have been utilized for thousands of years to safeguard flocks from predators, particularly wolves. At Glasswater, we focus on raising these magnificent dogs in a nurturing environment where they can thrive as both guardians and beloved family pets. Our commitment to the breed ensures that each puppy is born into a setting that fosters their natural instincts and abilities.
Our Maremma Sheepdogs are raised on our small farm, where they actively protect a variety of livestock, including sheep, goats, alpacas, and free-range chickens. This hands-on approach allows our pups to learn essential skills from an early age, ensuring they develop into well-rounded guardians. We take pride in the fact that our dogs not only serve as protectors of our farm but also become cherished companions for our family. Each dog is carefully socialized and trained to ensure they are equipped to handle the responsibilities of their role.
At Glasswater, we welcome inquiries from those interested in adding a Maremma Sheepdog to their family or farm. Our breeding practices prioritize the health and temperament of our dogs, ensuring that they are not only effective guardians but also loving pets. We are passionate about sharing the unique qualities of this breed with others who appreciate their dedication and loyalty.
