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!

@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..

Thank you so much for this great message! It really does make our day reading them and it also confirms that what we are doing is the right thing. Thank you so much for your support to our channel and please, if you have not done so already, subscribe to the channel. Welcome to the Pawfextion family!

@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.

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. Thank you so much for subscribing and welcome to the Pawfextion family Nicole! 🤗

Thank you so much for your kind message! ☺️

Thank you so much for your kind message. It has really made our day! Welcome to the family and please be more than welcome to leave us many comments, we absolutely love reading and replying to them. 🤗

@@Pawfextion you're welcome 🐾 My dog and I are relaxing together right now. His name is General; he's a mix breed. His mom's a bullmastiff and his dad is 50/50 Doberman pinsher and Australian shepherd. Brindle/fawn is his color's. He's one year and three months old.

That's great! Nothing better than relaxing together with your dog. What were your reasons for picking your particular dog breed/dog?

@@Pawfextion well let's start at the beginning. 4 years to the day had passed since I'd lost my king shepherd to cancer. My heart and mind were healed and ready to become venerable once again. I couldn't afford to pay for either of my dream dogs, and my new pup was born and free of charge. Considering his genetic blood line, I chose him to love and to be loved by. God has blessed me twice in a lifetime with man's best friend.

There is a saying that says that they (dogs) choose us rather than that we choose them. There might be some truth in that! Bless you for opening up and sharing your story with us.

Thank you so much! Keep Well! 🤗

@richardrampersad1654 We can't agree with you more! They are definitely all those things you wrote! Have you got 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.

@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.

@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! ☺️

Thanks for getting back with me on this. Both of your girls are amazing specimens. They’re beautiful! It’s no wonder they look so good, with such an impressive lineage. 😁

@viccundiff20 It's our pleasure! We love reading the comments and will always make time to reply/write back. We appreciate you for watching our content and that you even take time to write messages. Our hope is that the channel helps and entertains our audience. Those that have a Boerboel, those preparing to own a Boerboel or those that just appreciate the Boerboel from afar. Lineage is extremely important, however it is also about how you look after them and raise them. Which of the above category mentioned do you fall in?

@RaulGarcia-cg3vn we breed them ourselves, however no litters at the moment. Where are you based? It is extremely important to do a lot of research into your potential breeder. 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. 😊

Thank you for such a great message! You have had already such great powerful dogs before! They are amazing breeds. What we are trying to do through the Pawfextion KZfaq channel is to spread sound information that is actual a true reflection of the breed and information that is truly helpful. We want to help people with their dogs and provide videos that can assist everyone on their own journey. Thank you so much again for your kind words and if you have not done so already please subscribe to the channel and become part of the Pawfextion Family! 😊
