I've suggested merging [[Abruzzese Mastiff]] here. While I respect and indeed partially agree with the arguments of the separatists who resent the fusion of the Maremmano and Abruzzese strains, the fact remains that they have been a single breed since 1958, the Cane da pastore Maremmano-Abruzzese. The "Mastino Abruzzese" is now just another name for the same dog. There is no breed of that name, and no dog can be registered as such. The article already has considerable discussion of these matters, but that could possibly still be further expanded.

== External links modified ==
==Weight==


Hello fellow Wikipedians,
How much do they weigh? Weight is mentioned indirectly but there is no actual weight range or average listed.


I have just modified 4 external links on [[Maremma Sheepdog]]. Please take a moment to review [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?diff=prev&oldid=783415520 my edit]. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit [[User:Cyberpower678/FaQs#InternetArchiveBot|this simple FaQ]] for additional information. I made the following changes:
==Original Use Section Cleanup==
*Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20070630071430/http://www.canids.org/occasionalpapers/livestockguardingdog.pdf to http://www.canids.org/occasionalpapers/livestockguardingdog.pdf
The Original Use section is not encyclopedia quality, referring specifically to the last line of "don't get me wrong-they bark". It also is packed full of sexist language. I will change these two without changing any of the actual content.
*Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20110708012515/http://site.blackmooseranch.com/Dogs_Puppies.html to http://site.blackmooseranch.com/Dogs_Puppies.html
Upon reading over the passage, I decided it would be best to remove the last line completely. I will paste it here so nobody has to bother with history if they think it should stay.
*Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20110516121926/http://www.warrnambool.vic.gov.au/page/page.asp?page_Id=527 to http://www.warrnambool.vic.gov.au/page/page.asp?page_Id=527
"these dogs are great to have as a family pet but don't get me wrong-they bark." [[User:Sparkleiya|Sparkleiya]] 04:41, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

==Breed name==
Maremmano-Abruzzese
Lorna Coppinger and Raymond Coppinger, the biologists who are the preeminent experts on Livestock Guarding Dogs describe the "breed" (a term the Coppingers question) as the Italian "Maremmano-Abruzzese " in their book "Dogs: A New Understanding of Canine Origin, Behavior and Evolution (2002), University of Chicago Press, ISBN 0226115631. The Maremmano-Abruzzese being one of five or six dogs types involved in annual sheep migrations from highlands to lowlands common in many parts of the world. Should this article be titled "Maremmano-Abruzzese"? The Coppingers find that there is no valid distinction between dogs from the Tuscan Marremma and those from Abruzzo. <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:MGerety|MGerety]] ([[User talk:MGerety|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/MGerety|contribs]]) 01:42, 22 October 2007 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

==So-called copyright violation==
A user who failed to login, and thus identify him or herself leaving only IP addresses, first claimed a lack of references and then labelled the previous version of this article a possible copyright violation. Before realizing that the user's objections were nonsense and that a user on that IP address had been cited for bogus edits, I rewrote the article so as to avoid any possible appearance of such a violation, relying on a number of academic articles including Drs. Coppinger at Hampshire College, the preeminent experts on livestock guarding dogs, as well as articles in Italian about this fabulous dog. i am personally quite familiar with this breed seeing them quite often in Abruzzo guarding their flocks of sheep.

:The user's claims were not bogus. Several parts of the previous version were copied almost word from word from the article on this breed at Dog Breed Info. [[User:Collectonian|Collectonian]] 05:10, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Right. The florid description of the "standard" Maremma did take language from the that site, though very similar language is repeated in many kennel Club descriptions. Since biologists dispute breeding working dogs simply for appearance rather than behavioral characteristics that portion was not suitable at any rate. However, the remainder of the article especially that written about the dog's origins seemed original, in fact, the same IP user criticized it as possibly being "original research". I think it is not appropriate to delete photographs and then label ones restoration "vandalism" though the point on article length. Added headers as suggested [[User:MGerety|MGerety]] 11:54, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
==Bravo==
This article is now greatly improved, with new headers much better than mine. [[User:MGerety|MGerety]] 22:03, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
