Sheep farmers in the Veluwe region of the Netherlands are increasingly utilizing Italian Maremmano-Abruzzese livestock guardian dogs to combat rising wolf attacks. These large, white dogs, traditionally used to protect flocks in Italy, are proving effective in deterring wolves and reducing losses of sheep. The increasing wolf population in the Veluwe has led to significant challenges for shepherds, resulting in financial hardship and increased workload. Hiring these specialized dogs offers a proactive, non-lethal method of protection, contrasting with more controversial solutions. The dogs live amongst the sheep, forming a strong bond and actively defending them from predators. Farmers report a noticeable decrease in attacks since introducing the Maremmano-Abruzzese to their flocks in the Veluwe, offering a potential long-term strategy for co-existence with the growing wolf population.
