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.
@@lsb9881 definitely bro I got a mixed boerboel and rottweiler super aggressive but also very friendly with people it knows so it's very important to socialise with this breed
Nonsense. Get a lab or a collie. Getting a dominant 165 lb dog probably isn't the best idea for most first time owners. I ignored this advice and got a Cane Corso as my first dog and it went just fine. All depends on if you can match their stubbornness and be the "alpha". Some people can't.
@@JW0143 I know. Its sarcasm on my part and just me laughing at how every breed video you watch on here, all the people always say that its not a dog that's good for first time dog owners. It's just silly hearing it over and over again
CLOUT Last time I checked all dogs are pack animals and left untrained and unchecked will assert their dominance over anyone who lets them. I’m just put off by all the high minded breeders who think you have to be an expert level, 47 time dog owner to own a large dog without being a menace to society. It’s their elitism and snobbery that rankles me, not common sense.
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♥️😔
Sorry to hear that I know how it feels my parents had a dog before I was born and I was like 13 when it died. Hopefully you can get you another dog to be your companion someday
My Great grandfather had one. He was walking her the one day and a guy jump them and tried to stab my great grandfather. The Boerbeol grabbed the robber before he could do anything and she tore him to shreds
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. 🙂
You are the most responsible, best owner I've ever seen on TH-cam , this is the highest compliment I ever give! Thank you for being so informative and great! +++++
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
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.
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😍
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...
There’s a big difference between the original out of SA and hers. Hers seem to be very tall and thin. Not the muscle packs from SA. The original isn’t as tall. I’m not hating, I just see a big difference.
Love seeing proper education about the larger "scarier" breeds, ones most misunderstood and/or mistreated. good people + good training = extra good doggos
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.
@@belliduradespicio8009 I will tell you that it's like having a 110lb, as of last Friday and almost 4 yrs old coming up in March, cat living in your house. 🤣 She sleeps like 18hrs, only wants to go outside a few times, only likes fair weather, and hates to go for long walks. 🤣
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.
LoL Ive actually tested My lab and had a friend of mine go into My house when I wasnt home. Labs truly believe a Stranger is just a friend you havent mer yet
I have two male brothers that are the exact opposite .They were "rescue " dogs , All I know their parents were both chocolate, I have on idea of the bloodlines.
My Shepherd husky mix is nice with everyone as he is with me, he is a lap dog but if your getting close too me without consent he will alert me with questionable body language having a is this person safe response, he acts very multi-purposeful always paying attention too body language in people and animals, I raised him independent and I think thats why he gives me respect so naturally
People should be more honest with themselves and their prospective breeders as to what they truly want. Some people want a dog park dog and others a guardian. They should get the dog they actually want, not punish the dog they don’t want trying to change it into the dog they should have gotten. 🙂
EyeLUVMYPitbull Peaches Truer words of wisdom have never been spoken in the dog world , most people cannot bring themselves to understand genetic memory ,
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.
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’m a disabled veteran, I have a female Boerboel. She is one of the best dogs I’ve ever had. She is very smart. Always by my side and looking out for me. A true guardian that I trust not only with myself but my granddaughter.
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.
@@Oosie78 Hi Karen. I live in Namibia and have had the good fortune of having had the best looking dogs in the country...not my opinion, but those of the vets that I use. Great temperaments too!
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.
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).
Love this video. Informative to a T! Any humans who are thinking of getting a Boerboel for the first time should watch this as the first step. This way, they can make sure if they can truly accommodate all the requirements of having such an amazing breed.
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?
My opinion on why these dogs smaller I’ve owned Boerboels for 7 years And I noticed not all of the boerboels are big huge like that. Not all of them were design to guard off lions. But smaller game like coyote fox or smaller wild pigs. Some come out big boys 200+lbs and small 90-110 lbs so I think it depends on how they were built if you got big thick parents puppies gonna be big thick If you got Huge boy 200lbs and female who’s standard 110lbs you get best of both worlds He dogs look like boerboels But their tail are not docked either
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.
I am from South Africa and grew up with these dogs I absolutely love these dogs. I've seen a lot of videos where people do this or people think they own a purebred boerboel but than it looks more like a greate dane than a boerboel. It breaks my heart to see people breed these dogs incorrectly just for money
@@kehanvanvuuren7718 no boerboel should ever surpass 170 lb. The more the weight, the more the health problems. The normal boerboel should weigh anywhere between 120-150 lbs. 180-200 lb boerboels are short legged and can't even run. No dog should ever weigh that much. Dogs are wolves, you may change their shape but not their genetics
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.
When walking with all the kids every 10 feet he d stopped and check all the kids to be sure they were all behind him and none missing, idem when pulling a kid sleight, he d check every so often that my son sitting straight in middle, he d stop when my 2 years old would bend sideway or else, that dog loved to play water game, my son used to shoot him, he just loved it so much. He was a big baby! Was fed by fork by my son age 4, the dog never ate in a bowl again was waiting for Fork. They are extremely smart, once they are use to some habits, it s done.
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.
Yeah Americans (and actually some English ) seem to not get the information right for this breed. I literally posted the same comment in less and dumber wording lmao
They were used to gaurd diamond mines in the Kimberley are by the De Beers group. They are good with children but due to their stenght always keep an eye.
Americans seem to have their own cersion of what a breed is when it comes to USA. I have read total rubbish said about beauceron for instance. I would trust a South African breeder for info anout that beautiful breed.
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
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.
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. 😍😍
@@jimothyj2638 Why would you want a dog that beats other dogs in combat? What combat are you expecting? You sound psycho - dog fighting is illegal and mean.
I love NYC., LOL. Wish I could afford a Brooklyn or Harlem brownstone. Then maybe after 30 or so years, I'd go back to owning dogs. Probably big protective males,,,,,,,,, maybe
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.
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!!!
Presa Canarios are the dogs that killed Diane Whipple. Wasn't the dogs' fault, they were very untrained and out of control. Kept in an apartment building, etc.
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.
If you like the look of the dog and are looking for a dog a lot less agressive but rather cuddly and loyal then get a Bullmastiff. You can also get a bullmastiff as a first time dog since they are naturally kind. This is coming from a owner who has had 4 Bullmastiffs
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😊
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!
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 💕
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.
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.
Which dog breed would you recommend for protection for family with children, other dogs and farm animals? I was looking at boerboel or maybe pressa canario?

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.
Unless you live on a farm in South Africa.
I thought the same thing .i have one and he is for protecting the house.i also have a pitbull but she is friendly.

Do you recommend this dog to a dog owner that has not had a mastiff type guard dog before? Thanks
@@lsb9881 definitely bro I got a mixed boerboel and rottweiler super aggressive but also very friendly with people it knows so it's very important to socialise with this breed

@@Oosie78 Hi Karen. I live in Namibia and have had the good fortune of having had the best looking dogs in the country...not my opinion, but those of the vets that I use. Great temperaments too!
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.
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).
I would LOVE to see this!
I love this breed and your documentaries. Watching them regularly and got amazing info.
Gorgeous dogs, very well structured 👌🏽
Love this video. Informative to a T! Any humans who are thinking of getting a Boerboel for the first time should watch this as the first step. This way, they can make sure if they can truly accommodate all the requirements of having such an amazing breed.
I have a 9 month old boerboel and she.is incredible
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?
My opinion on why these dogs smaller
I’ve owned Boerboels for 7 years
And I noticed not all of the boerboels are big huge like that. Not all of them were design to guard off lions. But smaller game like coyote fox or smaller wild pigs. Some come out big boys 200+lbs and small 90-110 lbs so I think it depends on how they were built if you got big thick parents puppies gonna be big thick
If you got Huge boy 200lbs and female who’s standard 110lbs you get best of both worlds
He dogs look like boerboels
But their tail are not docked either
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.
I am from South Africa and grew up with these dogs I absolutely love these dogs. I've seen a lot of videos where people do this or people think they own a purebred boerboel but than it looks more like a greate dane than a boerboel. It breaks my heart to see people breed these dogs incorrectly just for money
You talking about the beastly video
came here from that video to see exactly how a real Boerboel is!
Not necessarily, they really do grow that big, just depends on their genes
@@kehanvanvuuren7718 no boerboel should ever surpass 170 lb. The more the weight, the more the health problems. The normal boerboel should weigh anywhere between 120-150 lbs. 180-200 lb boerboels are short legged and can't even run. No dog should ever weigh that much. Dogs are wolves, you may change their shape but not their genetics
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.
When walking with all the kids every 10 feet he d stopped and check all the kids to be sure they were all behind him and none missing, idem when pulling a kid sleight, he d check every so often that my son sitting straight in middle, he d stop when my 2 years old would bend sideway or else, that dog loved to play water game, my son used to shoot him, he just loved it so much. He was a big baby! Was fed by fork by my son age 4, the dog never ate in a bowl again was waiting for Fork. They are extremely smart, once they are use to some habits, it s done.
@@JosianneForget 300 pound boerboel? I bet that the dog couldn't even breath... Too much fat and unhealthy foods it probably died in 2 years
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.
Yeah Americans (and actually some English ) seem to not get the information right for this breed. I literally posted the same comment in less and dumber wording lmao
They were used to gaurd diamond mines in the Kimberley are by the De Beers group. They are good with children but due to their stenght always keep an eye.
@@theunshurter2406 We had one in Petrusburg while I grew up...lovely
Who cares
Americans seem to have their own cersion of what a breed is when it comes to USA. I have read total rubbish said about beauceron for instance. I would trust a South African breeder for info anout that beautiful breed.
Thank you for producing these documentaries! I love learning all the different breeds' temperaments, needs, and quirks
These are beautiful athletic looking boerboels! A lot of breeders seem to go for size not really thinking about lineage or health.
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
Do you have all three?
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.
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. 😍😍
They are the most loving dogs. Will always have a Donna and Jemma😍
Boerboel are amazing Dogs really beautiful
I feel like you did dogumentary on this breed already or i can just be high🌿💨💨🌿💨💨
Lmao! I am baked on some blue dream extract! Vibin with you brother lol🌿🔵
I'm either getting one of these or a Dogo Argentino. They are insanely powerful and athletic. Can beat any other breed in combat
@@jimothyj2638 Why would you want a dog that beats other dogs in combat? What combat are you expecting? You sound psycho - dog fighting is illegal and mean.
I eagerly wait for your videos. Please make more often.
My Favorite Mastiff 💯🐺😇💯
I hope to be able to get one of these beautiful dogs in the future.
My next dog for sure!
Been waiting for this!
Del love your work. As a owner of a Boerboel, I love these types. Keep up the work.
I like her knowledge and sincere care for her dogs..
I am so jealous of the place you live in! I live in Manhattan in an apartment😩
I love NYC., LOL. Wish I could afford a Brooklyn or Harlem brownstone. Then maybe after 30 or so years, I'd go back to owning dogs. Probably big protective males,,,,,,,,, maybe
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 😝
Love this breed, so beautiful
Thanks for another vid!
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.
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!!!
I'm getting mine soon boerbol is the best dog
very very competent advise....high quality content....
That boerboel looks very different from an original one
Presa Canario video soon please, with the newer version of the breed (the Tall and big ones 150lbs + )
He's already made a lot of presa canario videos a few years back
@@vanessagonzalez7862 like 2 or 3
Vanessa Gonzalez another one wouldn’t hurt
@@ComplexWork oh ik I like presas, I just wanted to let OP know that there's already a few videos of them, in case he didn't know
Presa Canarios are the dogs that killed Diane Whipple. Wasn't the dogs' fault, they were very untrained and out of control. Kept in an apartment building, etc.
They're still one of the healthiest Mastiff breeds.
Man that’s a lot of work. Managing a farm and making sure the dogs don’t get mixed up at the wrong time
Yep. She, the owner, has her hands full.
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.
Beautiful dog, and beautiful video!
If you like the look of the dog and are looking for a dog a lot less agressive but rather cuddly and loyal then get a Bullmastiff. You can also get a bullmastiff as a first time dog since they are naturally kind. This is coming from a owner who has had 4 Bullmastiffs
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
Best breed IMO.....
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😊
Wonderful animals. My best friends.
thank you for the knowledge,i have a rottie cross,cattle puppy,.
thanks for leaving the full tail, look better
Thank you for all the knowledge
Excellent video
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!
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 💕
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.
Tbh these boerboels look so different from the video of the 2 ladies who had boerboels in California. I want one but i want a red one..
Great profile on the boerboel - thanks for sharing.
wow, well prepared, young lady, open minded, honest, not a "branded," open...
Beautiful Dogs! ❤️
Can you do another Thai Ridgeback video. Not much information on them.
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.
Plz make a video of English mastiff again 🙏🙏
I own a beorbeol in my Apartment she is so calm and not active but i walk her every day like 1 and half a hour and she can adapt will to the apartment
Love your Boerboel documentary! Boerboel's are incredible dogs!
I love your videos so much ❤️❤️ is it ok u can do dogumentary about a blue bay Shepard 🙏🙏
Elevated bowls are good for avoiding bloat
Great advice! Gracias.
Oh wow they're beautiful
Please cover the Scott/standard American Bulldog- an intelligent, robust working breed not yet covered by dogumentory!
Respect lady.
Which dog breed would you recommend for protection for family with children, other dogs and farm animals?
I was looking at boerboel or maybe pressa canario?
Dogo argentino
