He is affectionate with people he knows. Always treat a Maremma fairly and he will turn into an indispensable guardian angel for your stock, your farm and your family. Shades of ivory, pale orange or lemon are tolerated but only in certain limits. Very well furnished. Hair long, rather harsh.
Slight waviness is tolerated but only in certain limits.
Best if the owner makes a formal introduction. He objects to strange children being physical with his children. Quite tolerant with family's pets. Trouble is to be over food. If more than one dog is kept it is important to feed separately.
