    Honestly, they've always appeared very friendly for guard dogs. They do look awesome and very intimidating/capable. The breed seems like great dogs to have as buddies/deterrents.

      90% of those with bad intentions will definitely think twice before entering the property when they have seen these dogs. Criminals will have done some research prior to the actual day of the break in. However the bark that these dogs produce is of a complete different level. Both of our girls have a very deep and very intimidating bark that will happen straight away when a non member of our family is at our front door. Which is again a massive deterrent!
      Yes, they are very loving towards the people they know and trust. I have heard some worrying stories of Boerboels that will display an extraordinary amount of aggression towards anyone apart from the owners. You really don't want to have that!

    To me, Boerboels are the perfect dog. I love mine deeply, and how they love back is not like any other dog I have experienced. Side note.. The physique on your Black one is next level. *That* is what a Boerboel should be shaped like... broad shoulders and a waistline. Great video..

      @kumetu We can not agree with you more! The Boerboel breed is of another level. The quality and temperament shines through so well. Thank you so much for your compliment! We really appreciate your comment. These girls are our foundation females, so we make sure that they are always in the best shape possible. Zuri is a direct daughter of the legendary Spitsvuur Ramkat. The highest scoring black boerboel in the history on the SABT register!

      @@Pawfextion Absolutely, this video is a pleasure to watch. And you can see Ramkat in her features all day. Outstanding pedigree. Whenever I go to the vet, they say 'I wish we could keep your dogs in here all day, so we can show people what a dog is supposed to look like'. She is built very similarly to Zuri. I look forward to more of your videos..

    My boerboel is great. But she barks very infrequently. Basically only if she sees the threat. Doesn't bark at the doorbell. Doesn't bark just to come in/out. If she sees a stranger (person or dog) she'll bark. But that's about it. Never barks in her crate at all unless it's an extreme potty situation. Extremely good with any children and puppies. Okay with adults after intro. Adult dogs are the only concern I have and it's just her body language, not any incidents.

    • @Pawfextion
      @Pawfextion  Před měsícem +1

      @MrTimbeatty It looks like you have such a nice representative of the breed! My suggestion is to not avoid these situations of seeing other dogs. I hear a lot of people talking about meeting other dogs etc. They think that they know what they are talking about. However, your dog does not have to like every dog and doesn't need to meet every single one. She just needs to be calm and unfazed when she sees other dogs. Dogs in general should be trained to understand that the owner is in charge of the situation and all the dog has to do is just follow the owners lead.

    Beautiful dogs! I want to get one eventually... I own a Rottweiler, two Czech Shepherds and a Malinois... I've heard Boerboels are stubborn and difficult to train. I was told that about Rottweilers too, but I've learned food keeps them motivated. I am subscribed and look forward to learning more about them!🥰

      @Pawfextion  Před měsícem +3

      Hi, @nicolemarie3660, Thank you so much for your kind message! Those dogs are beautiful dogs to own and if you want to eventually own a Boerboel, then these dogs will be a great foundation in terms of dog ownership knowledge. Boerboels are generally also very much food motivated. They are stubborn and will push the boundaries sometimes. Especially the first 24 months. During those months you just make sure that they understand where their position is within the pack. I am sure that you will absolutely fall head over heels in love with this breed once the time comes to own one yourself.

      @davidnightingale3901 Thank you for your compliment! On this channel you can ask as many questions as you would like and you will always receive an answer! ☺️
      Okay so there are some health issues within the breed some, if not, most can actually be avoid or at least decrease the possibility of happening. It is extremely important that you will get your pup from a good breeder who truly cares for the breed. Make sure that both parents are health tested and ask for the results. The breed standard is tough and does not allow entropion or ectropion on the eyes. All breeding dogs from reputable breeders should be hip and elbow health tested. My advice to you is to truly invest a large amount of time in finding the right breeder. We also have a video on this particular subject. Observe and ask questions and try to poke through the superficial stuff. Any breeder can pretend to be nice and reliable for a certain amount of time because they want your money.
      So once you have your pup it is extremely important how you raise the pup. The first 18 months are extremely important and are the building blocks for the future of your dog. By feeding it correctly, weight management, exercise management and the right type of socialisation you will set your dog up for a beautiful future. If you put too much weight on too early it will just put strain on the bones and joints. This will definitely cause long term damage. We also have a video called "How to Raise the Perfect Boerboel"
      Hope this answer helped but please don't hesitate to ask any other questions if you have them.

    Very gorgeous dogs, the fawn one really wants your attention lol. I love the black coat of the other one, I normally lean towards Rottweiler dogs but the Boerboel is fantastic choice as well, big musculature dogs that aren't too mastiff like with extra wrinkles and fat and better looking then a Cane Corso and Bullmastiff's. The Tosa and Boerboel are my picks for large dog breeds.

    • @Pawfextion
      @Pawfextion  Před měsícem +1

      @mojorisin7317 Thank you so much for your message. Kiara is such a lovely girl. She does really want attention when we are home. Very comfortable and good when we are out but when we are back she just really wants your attention or at least have some form of body contact. They are an absolute amazing breed and for me the best of both worlds. They are big dogs but their heart is even bigger. Their love for their family members is absolutely unbelievable. I personally love the Tosa as well. The Boerboel and the Tosa look very similar, however the Tosa is on the banned dog list here in the U.K. so it was not an option for us. But I think from what I read, the Boerboel is more a family dog than the Tosa.

      @viccundiff20 Thank you so much for your compliment! Kiara is from a very small family breeder in Cambridge (England) which we had first pick off and Zuri is from Noxterra Boerboels as I was desperate to have a daughter of the legend Spitsvuur Ramkat and not be imported from a breeder abroad.
      We picked both of them because of their blood lines:
      Kiara has Bodington, CDH and Groenberg Rambo bloodlines.
      Zuri has Spitsvuur, Cabaret, Klein Sandfontein and Artifacts Yster.
      They are our foundation females as we want to provide a great "product" to all of our future clients/family members! ☺️

    • @Pawfextion
      @Pawfextion  Před 4 dny

      @williammashapu3739 thank you so much for your kind comment! This is what we are hoping to achieve through our channel. Firstly, it will be hard to find another guarding breed type dog, as family focused as the Boerboel. Our girls are gentle and very much integrated and part of our immediate family as well as extended family and friends. It's all about interactions from an early age. My number 1 rule though is that young children should not be left unsupervised with big dogs for a long period of time. This is because Boerboels don't fully understand their own size and sometimes act a bit clumsy.
      In which part of SA are you based?

It is also very important to make a list of things what you look for in a Boerboel and what you would want from your breeder, (being able to reach out for help etc.) Over the years we have build good relationships with some breeders in different parts of the world. So do let me know where you are based. 😊

      @Pawfextion  Před 8 dny +1

      @RaulGarcia-cg3vn Firstly there is no limit to the amount of questions you can ask. We are more than happy to answer your questions. It's better that you ask us, this way you will at least get trust worthy information. Secondly I would personally 100% choose the Boerboel over the Bullmastiff. They both have very similar characteristics, however the Boerboel wins it for me when it comes to family friendliness. I also prefer the head shape and overall look of the Boerboel in comparison with the Bull mastiff, but this is of course a personal preference. Boerboels require leadership and if you make sure your Boerboel knows the boundaries then he/she will be a great family dog and accepting to those that you allow to come over. Socialisation is essential when it comes to your extended family and friends. Regular meetings will make things a lot easier. The Boerboel is a "Natural" when it comes to guarding. You don't need to teach it anything. Because it wants to make sure that you and your family are safe.
