Get to know Bentley
Maremma Sheepdog, 4 years old
He came from Active animals rescue and rehabilitation .
My favourite thing about Bentley is...
His ability to overcome what his past did to him.
The biggest challenge with Bentley is...
Recall.
The most surprising thing about owning a Maremma Sheepdog is...
The things he has learned.
What I wish I’d known about Maremma Sheepdogs is...
The Carpathian Mountain Sheepdogs are loners who like to roam and not usually house dogs.
Did you know?
Three Maremmas, Oddball, Tula and Eudy found their ideal and unique job of protecting the world’s smallest penguin - Eudyptula minor, standing just 33cm high and weighing only 1kg, often called the Fairy Penguin - from predators. The dogs lived with the colony on Middle Island just off the Australian coast during breeding season, and prevented foxes from eating eggs and killing the tiny penguins.
