i have a maremma Appollo beautiful dog but since we live in Sydney and he is not used for farm work we have to walk him alot. we got him at 18 months old because his last owners abused him (the pricks), but as i saw in the commement below it is true that you have to introduce people to him like i did with my two friends and now he is a big cuddly teddy bears too.

I did a search for the maremma on youtube and this was the only video I found. Seems they are rare. I have an OES and angora rabbits that live outdoors. We just found out that we have cougars on our hilll and land so I was researching livestock guardian dogs. Wonderful video by the way.

Jackie is obviously a well loved little lady. Our border collie is a (smiley) sheep dog, too. Thanks for posting such a beautiful video!

Nice vid. Interesting that the commands are all in English. How come?

The herding system was developed by the Scottish, so the same English commands are used around the world with only minor variation. Maybe there are other herding systems I don't know about, but I'm pretty sure this is the main one. Although what's funny is that in Itay I had to say the English commands with a faux-Italian accent for the collie to understand! So "Come-by" ended up being "Coom-by".

Actually, in the video it basically sounds like "Come-by", but I did have to tweak my pronunciation for her to understand. In the video you can hear it on "Walk on". I wouldn't normally say it like that.
