I find the kuvasz is the most reliable dog in every way.

All 3 are great dogs. I personally find Maremmas most intelligent of the 3. They are also more loving to the owners than Kuvasz and more aggressive to predators than Great Pyr. Also less grooming and health issues.

I think you should change the intelligence level of the maremma in your chart. Having owned all three in the past I feel that the Maremma are the most intelligent and the most loving towards humans.

WILD misinformation. Pyrs don’t drool much?Hilariously incorrect. Have a high energy level? Wrong. Pyrs are lazy when not active farm dogs.
Scottie
Feb 14, 2021, 9:06:58 PM:
Pyrs are droolers, I've had 4. Energy levels differed from lethargic to medium. Having worked ranches with Maremmas and Pyrs I find Maremmas just bark and scare the fox or coyote away. Pyrs on the other hand kill it, which is why I prefer pyrs.
