BOERBOEL'S OWNER ADVICE: Early socialization is highly important. If you miss the first 4 months you will be getting into a trouble. Take your puppy daily to the busiest, croudest, loudest places in your area. Play with your puppy and make everything looks normal. Every move (bikes, rollerblades, runners) and sound (drill, chainsaw, hammer) should be normal. Let strangers and especially kids to touch your dog. Don't worry for its instincts. These dogs are highly protective and won't let anyone to hurt you no matter what. If you can not afford a professional training make sure you socialise your dog properly. Introduce your dog to the world and the world to it. If you let your puppy play with other dogs you will not have problems. These dogs are highly intelligent but also highly independent and stubborn. Make sure you always have some treats with you when giving commands. Always walk your dog on a leash and never never let your dog to take any decisions. If you never had a dog before PLEASE DO NOT BUY A BOERBOEL. If you had a dog before please learn more about dogs behaviours. Don't let your puppy trick you. Once you succssed you will have the best companion and devoted friend forever.

The quality of content on this channel can not be compared to anything on KZfaq. Thank you so much for bringing these great breeds to us with all the facts loud and clear. Peace.

I got mine when I was 2 years old, it died earlier this year ( I'm currently 14) so it's been 12 years. ♥️she was so sweet and loving, miss her everyday♥️😔

Got a boerboel a year ago and it's the best.

Maybe I have the worst Boerboel according to the woman. My Boerboel lives in an apartment, goes to the dog park, loves cats, hates exercising, doesn't drool unless she's wanting food or watching you eat food, doesn't tear up the house at all, sleeps all day like a cat, she can be trusted to stay alone in the house, doesn't use her crate anymore except to eat to contain the mess, is fine with whomever comes in the house, and isn't really a true velcro dog. I think my Boerboel is broken and I may need to get another one. Lmao. My Boerboel is protective and thinks she's on guard all night. She knows when the kids aren't feeling well and will lay with them all night like she did the youngest who was running a fever 2 nights ago. She is aloof with strangers no matter how much she's been socialized. Lol. If you walk through the front door she thinks you're ok; however, if she sees you through the window... she let's you know she's watching you. Lol.

I like how she didn’t just say the good things about the bread.

Apparently no dogs in the world are good for first time dog owners...

I’m also a Boerboel owner from South Africa, first thing the Bullmastiff was brought over to guard the Diamond mines. The Boerboel was breed to protect his family. They were a farm dog breed to the protect the family

Hv a 9 month old pup and I hv to say he’s the smartest dog I’ve owned. Very loyal and protective 👍🏾

Thank you for producing these documentaries! I love learning all the different breeds' temperaments, needs, and quirks

I loved it! You have found some real quality breeders, that care about not only their own animals but the breed as a whole. Honest, informative, thorough, eloquent, my respect to this lady. And as always excellent footage. I have started realising that travelling and production must cost you a pretty penny. Thank you for your hard work.

I love these broken down dogs videos omfg thanks Dogumentary you are the greatest dog KZfaq ever!!

By far the most informative video I’ve seen on the breed. Thank you👍🏾

You are the most responsible, best owner I've ever seen on KZfaq , this is the highest compliment I ever give! Thank you for being so informative and great! +++++

It is such a beautiful documentary. Produced on point and perfect soundtrack. Thank you 👌😎

I like the fact that she keeps her dogs on the slim side.

I love this breed and your documentaries. Watching them regularly and got amazing info.

Great owner and breeder perfect narration of what you need to know and learn before owning a Boerboel.

Thanks for another vid!

Gorgeous dogs, very well structured 👌🏽

I have videos of my Boerboel doing his protection work for anybody interested in the breed! They are the best! My dog doesnt ever drool unless you put out food in front of him though! Her ones are really jowelly...

My first Boerboel made 4 last month! There will never be another breed for me!!! This video details my boy very well. Thank you God for the Boerboel!

AAA Top shelf #1 Kay has some real nice looking dogs and knowledge , Thanks for the uploads

Del love your work. As a owner of a Boerboel, I love these types. Keep up the work.

We got our Chief at 4yrs old. He was a Boerboel x with Neo Mastiff and you couldn't have met a more docile kind loving family dog... till night time when he was always like on high alert... OMG once at night I'd seen him full threatening at our back gate. Boy, I was so glad he was on outside😍

Been waiting for this!

Boerboels are incredible and amazing dogs.

Appreciate her honesty and absolutely hung on to her every word. She has good reason to be proud of her canines, they are beautiful. This was very educational for me. 🙂

I can not tell you how many times I have listened to this video . I wealth of information.

Thank you very much! Your vids are always appreciated. I have been diving into Boerboels lately and have been contemplating them a lot lately for future reference. Thanks Ive learned a lot more again. Could you make another quality piece about the Fila Brasileiro. Manila shows you love 💕

Thank you for all the knowledge

Love how she addresses all the different aspects of the breed. It's definitely not for me (I'm too laid back) but they are gorgeous animals!

Great profile on the boerboel - thanks for sharing.

I eagerly wait for your videos. Please make more often.

Love seeing proper education about the larger "scarier" breeds, ones most misunderstood and/or mistreated. good people + good training = extra good doggos

Love this breed, so beautiful

Great advice! Gracias.

I like her knowledge and sincere care for her dogs..

And I just saw some Barbarian Boerboel video where theyre breeding them to be a sloppy 200 lbs. This video shows what they actually are. That other vid was a damn puppy mill mutating them for the most money.

They've got a great mama bear. Yes. Great program. Great production. Top quality communication and camera work. This is the best program I've seen in this genre.

Beautiful dog, and beautiful video!

There is a reason why Labradors and Golden retrievers make terrible guard dogs. And why these dogs excel at it. Having a guardian protective type dog and expect him to be cuddly and nice to strangers is nonsense. Is great to see responsible people giving the right amount of info about the qualities and needs of these amazing guard dogs.

Beautiful Dogs! ❤️

very very competent advise....high quality content....

I'm in SoCal an I just got my second Boerboel and love him so much. I live off. Grid and he runs alot

My next dog for sure!

My aunt has a few of these on her small holding property in the rural Northern Cape. They're very determined dogs. Whenever they see a stranger and they're free to do so, they will mercilessly pursue them.

Excellent video

This lady has summed it up for an potential new owner for this dog breed. Great job.

Boerboel are amazing Dogs really beautiful

They are the most loving dogs. Will always have a Donna and Jemma😍

Great info

My mum got one last week..our other big dog breed died after 8 yrs 💔she's absolutely gorgeous but was only used for breeding so she needs socialised and some training. She's 5 and she won ribbons before. She's a brindle and so slabbery and loving ❤️❤️❤️ she has her tail which I'm so happy about.

I have a 9 month old boerboel and she.is incredible

Respect lady.

Wonderful review. Living in SA with a Boerboel

Love your Boerboel documentary! Boerboel's are incredible dogs!

I hope to be able to get one of these beautiful dogs in the future.

These are beautiful athletic looking boerboels! A lot of breeders seem to go for size not really thinking about lineage or health.

I love your videos so much ❤️❤️ is it ok u can do dogumentary about a blue bay Shepard 🙏🙏

My Favorite Mastiff 💯🐺😇💯

thank you for the knowledge,i have a rottie cross,cattle puppy,.

I'm getting mine soon boerbol is the best dog

Very nice video to watch plus fabulous dogs. As a very very satisfied owner of two of those monsters in Ghana, on a remote plot, only boerboel owners will understand the levels of security they create. Simply put, a pleasure to own such a devoted good looking breed.

Oh wow they're beautiful

Best breed IMO.....

Have you done a video on Dutch Shepherds? I just adopted a Dutch pup and I'd love to learn some more about her breed

Wonderful animals. My best friends.

Boerboels are the most amazing dogs you can ever have. I've got my second rescue and they are the most beautiful natured dogs you can ever have. They are misinterpreted in attacking....but that only applies to cruel owners who chain them up and expect them to be guard dogs!!! They have to be part of your home. They are family. 😍😍

Very nice!

Being am owner of many harder molloser/bull breeds for work and training imported working Shepherds for competition protection work for 20yrs, its Time to slow down but still need that level.of difficulty and drive. I have been chewing on this for a few months and tomorrow we begin with a new breed. This should be fun!!!

Elevated bowls are good for avoiding bloat

I got me a little brindle girl that is English mastiff, canne corso and borbel she’s the sweetest and she is so loyal. Even though she’s a puppy she guards too she’s so adorable

I am so jealous of the place you live in! I live in Manhattan in an apartment😩

I have a Boerbull and will never be without one. My current dog is the third that I've had, and she gets on fabulously with my three other dogs. She and I weigh about the same at about 66 kg and she has a great temperament. All my dogs sleep indoors. We have had criminals who poison dogs as a prelude to home invasions, and I ensure that they are safe at all times. At 77 years of age I might be coming to the end of my Boerbull ownership period, because of the power that they generate, but she is easy to control so we are both in a good place. Communication with your Boerbull is very important, so you must learn to read the signs that they give you. Fortunately we understand each other very well. Training, is of course, absolutely necessary. I do not take her to the level that we did with police training, but I ensure that she is fully equipped with discipline required for family and visitors. They are not destructive in the home, but 'things' can come to grief accidentally. My dog has had her tail docked as a puppy, so she does not accidentally sweep anything from surfaces at her height level.

I feel like you did dogumentary on this breed already or i can just be high🌿💨💨🌿💨💨

My Boerboel is a 2 year old female. She is the definition of a Velcro dog, and she is definitely my dog and I am her leader. She loves the people in our family and her Great Pyrenees/Blue tick Coonhound brother, Otis, but she is standoffish around strangers. We have taken her everywhere with us since we got her at 8 weeks, and she just isn’t super friendly. Olive is definitely different from the English Mastiff we had, but I wouldn’t trade her for anything.

I love this dog breed! I’ve had two of them (one male and one female) pretty much all my life. We got our first one when I was I THINK 8 years old😂...I’m almost 20 now and I can’t imagine having any other dogs. They have saved multiple of my family members lives over the years and they are amazing friends! They were fairly easy to train because they were extremely smart too! Thank you for talking about this breed because I always feel like they don’t get enough credit😊

Getting a boreboel tommorow very excited 😄

wow, well prepared, young lady, open minded, honest, not a "branded," open...

Got a lab cross boerboel as my first dog, intelligent and loving as well as the mastiff protection instinct. Then for my second dog got a male boerboel, an absolute monster, probably the most loving dog I’ve ever had only problem is he’s needed operations on both his legs.

I'm getting a boerboel x neo mastiff next year, cannot wait. Gonna call him Fang like Hagrid's dog because I am so original 😝

thanks for leaving the full tail, look better

I know you already made a standard poodle video but it would be nice if u checked out one of these hunting poodle breeders: Marquis Diamond Standard Poodles (in North Cal), Harmony Mountain Hunting Pudels (in Utah), Autumn Hill Poodles (in Wisconsin) and Louter Creek Hunting Poodles (in Georgia).

Shes on point. I respect her experiance and knowledge. We own 3 live stock guardian. And I found that keeping them slightly lighter helps alleviate joint pain and keeps them agile. Why are these dogs smaller than the African lines I see?

We have two Boerboels and they are fed raw all the time fantastic guarding dogs , a brindle and a fawn but be cautious as ours aren’t keen on other dogs , until they get to about a year old they are fine but then the instincts kick in , very intelligent and trainable , wouldn’t trust them with children or strangers and ours are obedient and well trained but they are guard dogs and will attack if provoked , very dominant , good documentary!

Cool video

Better type than the huge ones on your other video

Man that’s a lot of work. Managing a farm and making sure the dogs don’t get mixed up at the wrong time

This is a good video but i just wanted to correct some errors. I have never found any historical information from Africa that states boerboels were used to guard the diamond mines. It seems what happened was people that live here in America have confused boerboels with the bull mastiff. Seemingly out of thin air people from America started adding, "used to guard diamond mines" to the boerboel history. Here are the facts that are documented. In 1928, the diamond mining company De beers imported bullmastiffs to watch over the mines. This was the first documented case (i could find) of a specific dog breed being used to guard the mines. It was sometime after this that the bull mastiff bloodline was added to the boerboel. The boerboel was created for one singular purpose. They were created to watch over the farm and family. For this reason i also disagree with what the video said about children. Boerboels were created to be good with children. Its in their genes. Now if someone can find an african sourced document that shows boerboels were used to guard the diamond mines please share. I just have never found one.

I had a big 300 pounds one that was raised with my baby son, both babies playing together, very smart, best family dog ever, he was the pack leader when i had nieces and nephews with my kids, used to pull a wheel sleight, no barking, needed 5 hours of exercises a day, running backyard plus long walk. Very protective, need clear orders, boundaries, have to be socialize. My son used to ride on his back. He was 6 feet high on back legs! I miss him so much.

I would love for you to do a Caucasian Ovcharka video I know you made one but it only showed like 3 -4 min of info.

Can you do another Thai Ridgeback video. Not much information on them.

Please cover the Scott/standard American Bulldog- an intelligent, robust working breed not yet covered by dogumentory!

As I read the comments, a few things should be noted about Boerboels and dogs in general. Remember that your dog is a reflection of you. If it is not acting right, that is on you, not the dog. No matter the dog breed, if you don't train the dog, you won't be happy nor will the dog. Yes, there is always elitism with breeders about first time dog owners. Why? Because they've had dogs returned by people who didn't train them, thought they were cute as puppies but then grow up and are untrained. My family raised and bred Dobermans for 20 years. I currently have a Boerboel, a Bull Mastiff and Staffordshire (pit bull). My female Boerboel is extremely smart, stubborn, high maintenance, dominant, bossy, and demanding. She takes a lot of effort to keep her progressing because you cannot let her have her way. She is also extremely affectionate and protective. Would she be good for a first time owner? Depends on the owner, but in general, no. My male Bull Mastiff is quite possibly the sweetest dog I've ever had. He doesn't have mean bone in his body. But he is 135lbs. and can knock you over without trying. Would he be good for a first time owner? Yes, if they could deal with his size and expenses. Big dogs aren't cheap. My pitbull is an amazing dog, I've never seen a dog so good around kids in my life. He's a rescue too. Would he be good for a first time owner? He'd be the best of the three. It's about the dog IMO, not the breed for the most part. If you can't spend an hour a day giving your dog the attention and training it needs, you probably shouldn't have one. That won't be popular, but you shortchange yourself and the dog if you don't put the time in.

This is my dream life, this lady is awesome. One day I will settle on my one favorite breed, I will have about 5 top-tier specimens of the breed (like she does) and I will know what I am doing with them. That is what I want.

I recently was browsing through info about Kangals and Central Asian Shepherds, and stumbled on a breed called the 'Azerbaijani Wolfhound' or 'Qurdbasar'. But info seems to be sparse at best. Have you heard of this breed? Is it actually a breed or is it an obscure name for a breed with a more widely used name? P.S. Another great video BTW, keep it up.

Plz make a video of English mastiff again 🙏🙏

My favorite breed is Rottweiler but lately I been researching this breed and tbh I’m starting to want 1 but I’m here in Memphis and most breeds we see here are pit bulls,bully and rotts

They're still one of the healthiest Mastiff breeds.
