Dogs
Through a strange series of events, some may say misfortunes, we have adopted a range of dogs- few of which are actually traditional 'working' dogs.
We have a number of pomeranians, mostly as companion dogs (though they don't see this as thier role!) and keep Maremma as livestock gaurdians.
Maremma Dogs Maremma are often referred to as Italian sheepdogs, where for centuries they have been the traditional companion of herdsmen protecting flocks of sheep, especially in the mountainous northern regions of Italy. |
Pomeranian Dogs The Pomeranian, a favourite of royalty, is a descendant of the Spitz sled dogs. Spitz are a very ancient dog type, many smaller types of Spitz resemble each other and today's tiny Pomeranian has an unexpected canine lineage. |
