Winja is just under 50kg, Males can be 35 - 50 So he's heavy, but you can see the bone in his head; a beautiful head, he's a solid dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teekay Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 His coat looks incredibly similar to my Jenna's although she is much smaller (20kgs), lots of people still ask me if she is a Maremma. On the one hand I'm impressed that they know about Maremmas (I didn't until recently, they are not a common breed) but on the other hand she is way to small to be a Maremma. Jenna is a crossbreed btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenna is a crossbreed btw. Hi teekay Jenna has a lot of Maremma in her. 20kg is not too small at all. Mal Boltons bitch was way below the standard size for a Maremma but still made Australian Champion. I also have a puppyboy just a fraction under size. Winja, by the way, is the the minimum size for a male. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are supposed to be capable of guarding livestock and "dispatching" foxes and the like if need be - that gets a bit tricky if you only weigh 20kg.

Hi Ark Yep 20kg is too small for a Maremma, but not for a pet crossbred. I was none too happy when Mal's bitch was awarded over my girl. Especially as below the standard weight is a criteria for disqualification. More than one Maremma is needed to bring down a bear. They work together and are formidable 'deceivers' in a pack, each taking a different tack. :D Edit: grammer Edited November 19, 2010 by pewithers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
