Watch me groom the most aggressive dog I've ever touched...😐 th-cam.com/video/OP8oOaV_QFY/w-d-xo.html
Did you ever had a English Bull Terrier?
I'm cloven here... I'd say don't have carpeted floors with this dogbreed for easier droolcleanup... but carpets also help dogs gain traction on slippery floors...
I watched that psycho dog. Funny how he'd barely be a mouthful for this Boerboel but you were a lot more fearful of him. (Fearful in a professional judgement way.) I do feel bad for the little guy, he didn't want to grow up that way.
@@willemoranje u mean th ones with weird egg shaped heads?? In USA we call them just bullterrier, males should max out not over 80 85 lbs., but are strong little suckers !!
@@taylortanner37 U must be in UK/ England, yrs all pit types banned. Here in USA some states, counties also ban them, here in FLA. south, Miami Dade bans all , even Staffies, bullies, anything looks like pit. They are ##1 on dangerous dog list, & attacks are by , pit & pit mixes
There are many products, takes time to work , u may try getting those cone collars, used after surgery, to stop licking
U gotta be rid of fleas, either topical, or oral pills.
A few years ago we vacationed on a farm in Mpumalanga, South Africa. Took the owners Boerboel on a walk through the veldt. Actually, he just decided to join us and it was love at first sight. Anyway, as we walked further and further from the homestead, he would walk in front of me and stand still. This happened a few times and every time I just swerved around this giant dog and continued walking. It was around the fourth time he stopped dead in front of me, I said to my husband "I think this dog doesn't want us to walk here." So we turned around and went back. When we told the story to the owner a few days later she said "Oh yeah, he does that when he sees snakes in the bushes."
He was the best.
what a champion...
Oh god 😭❤️
What an interesting instinct. He must have realized the threat of snakes, but also understood that he was not equipped to fight off that threat despite his power, so his best option was to alert and then rely on the humans decision.
best boy material 💖
my sister's cat did a very similar thing once to my mom when I was a kid. my mom was going to check the raccoon trap one morning (normally it wasn't set up but there was a trash burglar for the past week or so that my parents wanted to eliminate). the cat kept running down the hill after my mom, jumping up to claw at her legs and hissing at her. she didn't figure out why he was acting that way until she realized he only would jump at her from the same direction - he was putting himself between her and where there was a raccoon stuck in the trap. once my mom realized this she stopped being annoyed and started praising him, he got a can of tuna when they came back inside. (poor buddy didn't realize that the raccoon was trapped so it wasn't a threat! he was a good boy.)
Johnny is a TANK. A very loving tank, but a tank none the less.
A King Tiger tank I think - rather than a Leopard, T-47, Abrams or Challenger II 😂
@@nathanwilliams2152 meatball tank
😂😂😂
a gentle giant, what a handsome boy 🥰🥰
A rhinoceros 🦏 without the horn! 😳
I lost my beloved boerboel 3 months ago. He was 14 years old. The vets said they have never seen a mastiff so old. I had him since he was a puppy. He was born in SA. Greatest dog I have ever known. I miss him so much
Es una pérdida terrible, despedirlos, lo sé también, ahora que te escribo me acuerdo del mío.
Saludos desde Santiago de Chile
I have a 2 year old Boerbel named Magnus. He is about 175 pounds and still growing. He has been trained and socialized since he was 6 months old. Great dogs
I love the name! We had a funny little dog here which was the complete opposite of your pal, and the owner for some reason named him "Ares". When I first heard the guy call out his dog, I thought "Oh lord, what the flip is about to come around the corner...". It was a West Highland Terrier, and he was tiny. I couldnt help but laugh XD
@@fadwen88 His whole AKC name is Magnus Piros Hund. Magnus meaning Great in Latin. Piros mean red in Hungarian and Hund meaning hound or dog in German. Translating in great red dog.
@@frankb6845 Magnificent name, thank you for the input =)!
Are they all this slobbery?
I love that name MAGNUS 😍🐾
The bigger the dog the cuter and funnier they look in the hoody
I've said before Vanessa should start an Instagram of nothing but head shots of animals in the happy hoodie.
@@deputydawgoneitHelplesslyHappyHoodedHounds
I love how he went to nip the hose and immediately after went to lick your face lol. "I'm sorry ma'am. I still love you. But the death air is a bit scary" 😂
Right!! He liked her but that dang hose had to go asap!!!
The licking is showing her that he is friendly and only wants to harm the blowdryer, not her. so that's a very nice dog for sure :)
air snake is evil, little groomer is good, she has treats but the air snake must die!
@@lisap2405it's a very nice sigh when a dog can separate humans from certain things they don't like.
For example when the dog bites the shower head or a stick, not the human. I think it shows tey understand that danger doesn't come from the human, but from the item.
"I can eat your arm with one bite but please make this killing machine stop"
Just watched this. Made me smile. I'm south African and I know these furTanks well. She is not kidding when she mentioned " Not for first time dog owners" these beauties need to be respected and understood. They have a heavy reputation and history. But thats because of humans, not the animal. Props to the owners. This dog is exceptional, and his training and temperament shows how cared for he is. The Fur-tank is an awesome giant! He's adorable...
"No thanks, no more drying, Ma'am. You can start the scratchy session now before we skip to the part with the treats I saw over there."
What a gentle giant. Kudos to his owners, they did an amazing job!
yea, and then have to wash and dry him again because he drooled all over his new washed coat 🤣
Johnny is the dog equivalent of a massive bodybuilder. But the nice one who teaches other gym goers how to lift properly.
"Do you even lift, bro?" - Johnny
@@obrandtb71 LMAO perfect!
The South African gentle giant.
So he's Noel Deyzel.
But He will also Beat you Up into mushy crumb soup If you try to Hurt His bae X-D
Exactly right, as someone who has worked out for 23 years and counting in 4 different gyms, I can confirm that, the big bodybuilders are some of the nicest, most helpful I've met.
The DEFINITION of gentle giant. He's so well behaved!!
Yes! I was impressed at just how sweet he was
Good breeder and owners.
@@jayk3551 I wonder what happens if Johnny decides to challenge, take over or turn on the owners.
@@ColdestRage303 thats not a beginner dog. All the same, their fiercely loyal and brave dogs that will fight to the death with a pack of lions to save their family and will likely take a few with them... probably better to think of it as a family bear rather than a normal dog
@@harrywoodman2988 Doesn't matter if it is a beginner dog or not. The moment it decides to challenge you or turn on you it will end bad for one of your family. Even the best dog you got your entire life. Can even get Alzheimer or a tumor in the head.
Bribed with Timbits? That's definitely a canadian dog! 🤣
In his defense maybe he mistook the dryer for a snake... He is a protector! So amazing and lovable! You looked tiny beside him❤
Johnny's "I'm dry enough mam." was gentle and cute. Sweet boy knows his own strength.
The air tube of death must be destroyed! He could, with one chomp, destroy it.
He did seem like a perfect gentleman. “Ma’am, enough with that dryer. Now how about you bring me over that family pack of Timbits over there?” 🤣
@@ElysiumPondue The Horton's nearest his home should get extra security.
He looked like he was trying to protect her from the blow dryer 😂❤
lol he nipped at the dryer and then gave her a quick kiss as if to say “it’s not you, it’s the hose of death I don’t like!”
A massive kudos to the owners of Johnny for putting in the time and work to make this Boerboel such a calm good natured boy.
You may or may not believe it but this doesn't take much time or effort. you only need such dogs (or better: all dogs) as young puppies wirh about 4 to 6 months old and the right place for them to be socialized. We took our Kangal to all kinds of festivities with people and other dogs and noise, took him to something like a zoo but with rather local wildlife like deer and stuff, took him to our next city for eating some ice cream while he needs to wait and be patient and took him anywhere with my car as long as he didn't need to wait alone in the car. The only thing more you need for this is patience with some scaring situations where you show them slowly that it's okay instead of forcing them and a strong bond between you and your dog :) that is all of the magic you need
Edit: And yes I do know that most people don't do this, whether it's a Boerboel or a Golden Retriever and this can have negative consequences with any breed although a chihuahua may not be able to bite your arm off and stuff, still it can get very dangerous if the dog is left alone with a child or anything where he can easily reach the face and stuff
@@lisap2405I feel your point!
Most people are too lazy to admit that training a lot of breeds is not hard. You just have to put a little more effort into it.
My uncle had cane corsos running around his household with two kids. No aggression in sight. Children respect dogs, and pets have massive love for them.
And yet some of out neighbors feel the urge to tell us that we endanger kids. My uncle grew up with a caucasian shepherd. He has all his fingers and toes and didn't loose an eye.
I get why people are careful with certain breeds. But labeling them as dangerous because most people are too lazy to get their fat a** from the couch to actually train themselves a companion is stereotypical, and can create a massive negative impact on the breed itself
@@rosamunddrag8971 "most people" arent responsible enough to have kids or pets thats the truth especially today everything has gotten so easy so people think they can take it easy when raising kids or pets but no you need dedication and knowlegde but your 100% right
@@rosamunddrag8971 Well training is a relative word and that is the problem. Any guardian dog needs proper socialization and the dog must be dominated by his owner. If he isn't dominated he will try to protect you instead of watching you before acting and that is the main problem of almost all guardian dogs in the wrong hands. Surely aggression can also come from missing socialization and missed stress training (like a noisy, crowded place and stuff) but this is a problem that every dog can have, not only guardian dogs
@@lisap2405 again with the dominated. YOU ARE NOT A DOG. There is no such thing as a domination between species. Many animals will understand typical dominant behavior from a human as an aggression. Seen it many times.
To dominate you have to be physical with your dog. If you seen how wolves and wild dogs do it you probably understand.
You have to make the dog listen, not to dominate it. You don't speak their language like they do
Johnny is a abosolute UNIT! Makes me proud as a South African to see a local breed here on your show... :)
Local breed its English mastiff with dutch shit mixed in a you know it..
@@wor53lg50😂😂😂
@wor53lg50 yeah and those breeds were put together by SOUTH AFRICANS for OUR needs you daft muppet
Want a cookie DB? @@wor53lg50
@@wor53lg50 the breed originated with the Dutch mastiffs bullenbijter, they arrived in South Africa in 1652 the Boers great trek began in 1832, English mastiff and long legged bulldogs in around 1820. True bull mastiffs were only imported into SA in the 1950s, certainly English Mastiffs are influential in the breed, however the Boeboel bloodlines pre date the cross breeding by centuries. They are way more active dogs than Bull Mastiffs. There is certainly some breeding with local African dogs in their history and they will probably more resistant to tick borne diseases than Bull Mastiffs.
Johnny almost knocked her down by putting his massive head on her shoulder for pets. What a big softie he is. Just gorgeous.
He really is a sweetie pie. He, no doubt, restores order just by showing up.
😅
When you are a lawful good but look like chaotic evil 😂
Boerboels are drool factories. I'm surprised Johnny didn't have more drool
dogs with that type of snout usually are, for some reason
That's not drool, that's 'boerboel glitter'.
@@grumpyoldfish 🤣🤣🤣
I had one, if you don’t do table scrap and not to much treats. The drooling is fairly easy. Them and the Greater Swiss Mountains dogs are considered the least drooly of the mastiff type. I currently have a Spanish Mastiff and it’s an order of magnitude more.
Boerboel is still the best dog I ever had.
@@sdesytfcanonunfortinately in Italy they are so rare (never seen one), there's probably only one recognized and official breeder and almost no one knows them but they're one of my top 3 species
What a specimen of a majestic dog!!! Johny made me miss my Rottie, Rambo, who sadly passed away 3 years ago!!! R.I.P. Rambo, you will never be forgotten!!!
It makes me so happy to see the results of people who take the responsibility of raising large and giant breed dogs seriously.
What a wonderful animal, and a very gentle and good communicator, as well. People often forget how intelligent and emotionally sensitive mastiff breeds/hybrids are.
He's clearly not a fan of the blow-dryer, but when he got corrected for biting at it, he asked for forgiveness. That's a giant meatball with a really good temperament.
He's been very well raised. You can tell he's been taught restraint by how he handled not liking the blow dryer.
His owners did an amazing job raising him for sure! Wish everyone with dogs raised them as such
Agreed. Good dog, well- trained & loved.
This dog weights more than most of my former roommates. I met a Boerbel once. I’d dropped my dog at the vet for a scan. I go back to my car and saw one of these in the back of a jeep parked next to me.
She was securely clipped in but all I could think was “Please don’t bark at me.” Barrel chested barks hit different. She was very friendly and sweet.
I discovered Boerboels in 2006 when some Armenian mercenaries were deported from my country and their dogs taken by our SPCA. They had about 8 ferocious guard dogs and I ended up adopting the two boerboels. Utterly fearless and fearsome, totally confident and aggressive but once they got to know you, they become the sweetest dogs on earth. I lived with them until they died of old age much later and it's a decision i'll never regret.
Thanks for sharing
thank you for looking after them, it's good to know that there are lovley people out there that can home such animals, even when trained to be vicious! I know it's the owner that makes them viscious not so much the breed!
which country?
@@nandanbhardwaj8464 Kenya.
Your bravery was repaid 10-fold!
As a South African, I can confirm that Boerboels are body pillows that bark. Mine was perfect for lying in front of the TV at night. They only want to be touched and petted all the time. My only warning is when they start teething have, lots of stuff like car tyres, fire wood, human bones, cow bones lying around. They can eat a whole car bumper and number plate in one sitting 😅
" My only warning is when they start teething have, lots of stuff like car tyres, fire wood, human bones, cow bones lying around." Come again??
Human bones. ???
Jirrrrr broer! Do you live in Brakpan? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
My uncle's cane corso almost ripped the bumper off his car when he started chewing. Thankfully uncle prepared many thick wooden logs and sticks for him. Mastiffs and similar type breeds can be teethy for sure
Human bones? Calm down, Jeffrey Dahmer. 😂
@@nos480 was wonderingsame thing , where human bones from ??!!
нυмan вoneѕ!? 😌
That is the fiercest-looking dog, and the sweetest, I've ever seen.
Boerboels can be very trainable and intelligent for such large dogs too. I've had 2 as service dogs (current one and retired one) and they have both really loved to learn and work. Early, appropriate socialization is a MUST with this breed. Johnny's breeder/owners should be proud!
I grew up in South Africa, on a farm, and we had boerboels. This video hits home. No Lions to protect us from though. 😊
The south african mobs on the other hand...
Maybe they meant local lions searching for free domestic items that have considerable value in the black markets of Cape Town .
The boerboels ate them all?
Those long fingered primates that shout wowbaas
@@raidaradham4625No, there are NO lions in South Africa to be protected from, only in the national parks, but those are enormous parks where they have traditionally lived for centuries. There are also no black markets where lions are sold. If any lions are sold, it is overseas or when there are illegal trade in animals.
"These loyal dogs were bred to guard their family homes in South Africa from large, ferocious predators...like lions." I love your deadpan delivery while telling us about a dog that could take on a FREAKIN' LION.
Ikr? She said it so nonchalantly. I thought, 'Wait. What?!...😳'
😂
Well Rhodesian Ridgebacks were originally bred to chase lions
@@skbwolverine especially since he looks so inviting to wrap your arms around and snuggle with like a big plushie 🤣🤣
I mean I doubt a single boerboel would take on a lion but if there were multiple then sure. My single boerboel did take on and kills baboons though
@@TheRealSimeonA Boerboel at least has a much higher biting force than a lion. If I get it correct it was about 200 higher and that is very much. So I would not bet that a Boerboel couldn't take down a lion by himself
OMG, I can't believe how he just sits there waiting for her to hug him if he's a good boy. What a handsome man Johnny is. I've never seen a dog that well behaved. The credit goes to his mom and dad and of course Vanessa who spread a little love too. Good girl Vanessa, lol. For Johnny and Vanesa💞
Johnny has been trained well, he's a big mush. I wouldn't want to deal with him if he wasn't friendly though. He's so handsome 😍
I would have NEVER guessed that it was his first appointment at the groomer!!! He was so sweet and laid back for real!
he's probably been sprayed by a hose several times already.
Johnny is Bestest Boy, and never misses leg day.😁
Neither chest day, he looks so strong cause he is 😊😮❤
his head is massive 😭 I love him !!
When I got a Pitbull everyone warned me and thought I was crazy, never caused any trouble in 14 years of life.Very gentle and shockingly smart.It's all in how you raise them.
I know that's right!
should still probably be banned.
It is definitely not ALL in how you raise them, but that has a significant impact. Just like people, different dogs have different personalities, and some dogs are just wired for aggression. The analog in people is the criminally insane. Some dogs just have dangerous personalities, and when that happens in a dog as strong as a pit bull, it's a very dangerous dog.
Breeding is more important than u think
I love how he was all “Nope, we’re done here” with the dryer, and then immediately turned around and was all “You are nice, and I am here for all the cuddles. Have any treats?”
He was thinking that?
@@FutureAbeisn't that what most dogs will do lol
Love your comment. 😁
Yep. That’s the problem with some humans. They don’t respect the dog’s boundaries and end up being ground meat. Rottie s are the same. You can’t make them do anything they don’t wanna do. They obey because they love their guardians and want to please them but we still need to know their limits and respect them.
I’m South African and when I was a toddler I stayed with a daymother (what we call a lady that babysits you during the day in South Africa) who had a Boerboel called Charlotte. Charlotte had the sweetest and softest temperament and we were inseparable best friends. She used to growl at my dad when he’d come fetch me after his day at work lol. Thinking back, she really did make me feel very safe and loved for as a young child. It’s almost like she was my guardian angel.
That’s sweet
what you call a slave black woman (daymother)? GTFOH entitled Karen
Aww, how lovely!! Thanks for sharing, that was super wholesome :)
Same here. I have two large guard dogs who are very sweet and affectionate. But they don't fuck around when it comes to protecting me or each other. Makes me feel safe AF!
My Rottweiler was like that with my children. Sooo loving, always had her eyes on the kids. She’d get that low deep growl if anyone came too close to them. I knew my children were guarded where ever they were with her.
I have a boerboel who I rescued at roughly the age of 6. I don't think she'd do nearly as well as he did at the groomer but she's a fantastic dog. She gets free roam of the house while I'm gone and she disturbs nothing in it. She took to my 8 year nephew immediately when she met him.
this video is my absolute favorite. Johnny is so adorable words can't tell. This clearly shows that even the challenging breeds can be taught to manners. What an exceptional dog.
He redefines what chonky means for a dog.
Chonky? No, he's a *𝑯 𝑼 𝑵 𝑲*
@@Bartmaaan Hunk works works for me aswell. But he is also a really chonky boi.
He looks like pure muscle!
SWOLE. Johnny is SWOLE.
I love how he's all RAWR for just an instant at the dryer, and then immediately "sorry, sorry, I didn't mean it, I love you."
Yeah like he was gently testing if it was okay to play or not, and accepted when she corrected him straight away.
Can't believe how many times I come back to this video, this is such a beautifull dog, and such a funny interaction
What a lovely boy! So gentle! My only regret is that I live too far to kiss and cuddle him! ❤️❤️
I was a little shocked when you said this was his first time at the groomer's. He was SO well-behaved! Good job, owners!
looks like his previous owners groomed him themselves & plenty
I was astonished when she said that! He behaved like an old pro.
That's because they are not aggressive, this is click bait
@@robhughes645 I think that's rather underestimating this channel. She does not need click bait. Her content is consistently excellent. Most dogs are anxious first time at the groomer's. Always impressive when a dog does well, no matter what sort of dog.
Dogs with good nerves do well while getting groomed. I use to have this Brn Mal and he had handler aggression issues, but he was also probably one of the best dogs if not THE best dog I've experienced bathing/clipping nails. When I say handler aggression I don't mean fear aggression I mean like when I'd play fetch with him he'd run off with the ball and if I picked up the ball once he was seemingly tired out he'd attack me for taking away the ball. Even with proper exposure to the muzzle he'd repeatedly muzzle punch me throughout entire walks for a while. Eventually I got a hang of dealing with him, but that was the first legitimately dominate dog I had dealt with. But to get to the point strong dogs often challenge you and are also often territorial, but they're also strong so they won't care as much about stuff like bathing.
i started watching this video than ran to my mum to pull it up on her pc. We were tearing up as this dog looks identical to our 12 year old boer boel that's no longer with us. Such joy
She was the cuddliest, most gentle (very fat) and affectionate girl.
So sweet how he lays his head on your shoulders, even after letting you know (respectfully) he wasn’t having it with the blower/dryer
Johnny's so patient. ❤
I just can't imagine that big, tough, burly, beasty smelling like bubblegum 😂 He's a ginormous sweetie! 🥰
I thought the same thing! Isn’t that adorable? 😂
He did so good for a first groom.
Johnny brings tears to my eyes. I am from South Africa and my dog passed away couple off years ago. Till this day i have never had a breed this loyal, kind and protective. Excellent dog. ❤
What a gorgeous dog….Good on his owners for training him up
What a gorgeous stable dog. Could see the power as it walked through the door. It’s so stable you could literally see it avoiding nipping at you but nipping the dryer. Thanks for sharing this video and I have without a doubt subscribed. 😊❤
Being a Boerboel owner I can attest he is an excellent representation of the breed. And you are 100% correct, they aren’t for first time, or realistically the average owner. They take a specific personality of human to be the best they can be.
Like Kangals and Caucasian Shepherds (we own both) Boerboels need discipline and a dominant owner. Everything else like love and training is the same. But yeah, I'd never want to see such greta dogs in the wrong hands :)
@@lisap2405dominant is not really the correct word. There is no such thing as a domination between species. You can't speak their language to let them know you are the alpha.
It's more about being persistent, knowledgeable and stubborn enough to make the dog listen to you, make an association with you giving it everything positive.
You don't dominate the dog, you are trying to be his guide in life. His parent
@@rosamunddrag8971As the owner of a stubborn shar pei and husky mix, I couldn't agree more (plus adult rescue)! Sometimes, I just have to stand my ground and wait for her to agree to go where I want to go, figure out how to sneakily guide where she wants to go to where I want, or... Just go with it because there's no harm. I try to get her to keep move to the other side when other pedestrians are coming and she just goes "nope! I was here first!" ... So I just hold her leash closer and try to at least keep her still so a pedestrian can just keep walking if they want. (She's well socialized and not an aggressive dog as well as not all that interested in strangers, so it's just for the comfort of other people.)
@@rosamunddrag8971 Surely there is domination in a pack and you as the dog owner are the pack leader (or you should be). Your body language is all it needs for that. Everything you say (behaviour and all) is dominating the dog. Most people don't understand that dominating doesn't mean hurting them or whatever but correcting if necessary and rewarding in the right situations
@@lisap2405 dogs don't see you as their pack leaders in the traditional sence. You have to actually submit them to yourself which, in actual packs, means showing dominance through strength. Not showing it through physical means already means that you are not the pack leader.
You are the leader yes, but of a group. Wolf and dog packs consist of an alpha pair and their submissives. Not all people have their significant others. It also breaks the pack structure.
You are not a dog and don't try to be one. We will never understand dogs fully, you just need to learn as best as you can
My neighbors had one ‘Boss’ he’d sneak to the bus stop every chance he could. He loved to get onto the bus and say hi to all the kids.
Very determined beast dog, thankfully super friendly
He's adorable and so good. What a great puppy reminds me of one I used to walk. Thanks Karen
Johnny is so chill
You can just SEE the strength in that pup's body through the camera. He was so gentle though, even the alarm nibbles were slow, what a good sir!
Johnny’s owners deserve a ⭐️ for raising such a sweet-natured tank. 😁 He was a very good boy! 🥰
All dogs ,regardless of their size can be dangerous without the right training ! it's the humans responsibility to teach them !just like a child they can misbehave ! Hes beautiful and doesn't really know he's a big frightening dog! he just wants love ! My brother had an Irish wolfhound who didn't know he was huge he'd tried to sit on my knee ! He. Nearly licked my face off !
lol@sweet-natured tank😁😉😊
that "tank" should be put in muzzle before it hurts somebody.
@@marcelbey-el1947 yeah bro it was clearly soo aggressive...
Only if you let them be dangerous. They are not born inherently dangerous. In fact, I’m more friendly than most human beings are.
Enjoyed this clip very, very much. You have a knack for getting excellently along with any breed of dogs and they, in turn, adore you.😂🎉
What a wonderful thing you are doing by being an advocate for these animals. Thank you!
He’s an absolute unit of a dog. He’s adorable.
He is MASSIVE!!!! I love him desperately. And am FULLY aware he would be too much for me.😂❤
this was one of my favorites!
What a stunner ! xxx
Never get a dog that poops bigger than you. Seriously, you can tell by the look on his face he's a doll.
Excuse me? 200 lbs???? Holy cow!! What an absolute tank of a dog! Big time kudos to the owners for raising such a well mannered big boy!! First time groomed and he's as sweet as pie (well except for the blow drying lol). Love his eyes!
Johnny's a fantastic pup ❤
He gives the absolute sweetest dog kisses. He's a handsome boy. His family has done a fantastic job of socializing him.
It's always hilarious to me when the dog you groom equals two of you in size 😂
She is very, very brave.
He is the definition of an ABSOLUTE UNIT. What a lovely gentle giant.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the big dogs!!!
Lovely gentle boy 💙🐾🚿🐾
Wowzers, that animal is built like a brick house. Good on the owners for socializing and training him so well!
When I was little, we had a Boerboel guard dog. He looked terrifying and he kept the compound very safe but he was an absolute baby. He used to lie under my crib and I've got loads of pictures of him and me. He was basically my personal protector. I adored him. Boerboels certainly can be aggressive but that's hardly their fault given that's what they were bred for. With the right training and care they are the perfect guardians. Our Boerboel passed five years ago and I miss him desperately. I guess we never forget the dogs we were raised with.
He will be the dog by which all other dogs in your life are measured. 💔
@gurkagurkadurka6688 so so true. I only hope my children will be able to grow up with a dog like him
Its so true... God, the world, luck or happenstance has made it so I have been lucky enough to be graced with devoted pups like that not just once growing up, but twice. There's no words I could use. Callie passed away when I was a sophomore in High School, and My Mojo we got about 13 years ago - he's still trucking along, and I'm in my thirties at this point. Callie got me through my childhood, and Mojo was the service animal that got me through my teens, and both were IMHO indispensable to my own success and happiness.
Awesome! We had Turkish Kangals when I grew up in SA.
You need absolute units overthere!
Boerboels are NOT aggressive. That is NOT what they were bred for. It is NOT in their temperament. Boerboels are naturally indifferent to people and animals.
It's so adorable how you handle those massive and strong guys!
Really impressive.
What a gorgeous powerful looking creature but gentle, all thanks to his family👏
A dog that knows it has nothing to fear.
We had a boerboel many years ago and Toby will go down as one of the best dogs ever. He was "small" at 150 pounds and all muscle. With proper training they are gentle giants but still protective of their family. Unfortunately, we lost him to cancer and have decided at our age we didn't need a dog that was that large. But we sure miss our big buddy.
Gosh, I'm absolutely in love. 🐾🥰
He looks sooo shweet~!
He has kind eyes. That lunge at the drier followed by a quick kiss was adorable.
Working at a dog daycare, there aren't many dogs that make me nervous, but when I met my first Boerboel, I was intimidated just by his size and build, but he was a big baby once you got to know him.
Those are exactly the dogs I love the most! A bit intimidating looking, but with absolutely no desire to act on that.
yea i had that with a mastiff i met in the woods when i was walking my dog, he was with a walking pack but i guess he smelled my treats because he stopped right in front of me but didn't do anything else. but he came up to my chest and for someone that is only 1.60 a good reason to be careful even if he would not bite he could easily push me over. no I did not give him treats.

@@velvety2006 I’m sure if you’d given him a treat and some scratches, he’d have been your loyal friend for life!
@@saraterbeek7405 Oh I am sure of that but he was with a dogwalkers pack so then I standardly don't give any treats because I rarely have enough on me for a whole or pack there might be dogs with allergies or food restrictions and then I find it unfair lol. he would have gotten one if I had ran into him and his owner and it is allowed
What a solid piece of rock, he's a force to be dealt with. You definitely have a way with him. Dogs know good people.
The most replayed portion of this video is the intro. I'm sure it's because of how terrifyingly massive this fella is. I discovered this breed several months ago and since then I'm addicted. I share a home with my brother temporarily but when I get myself settled if it's the last thing I do on this earth I'm getting a Boerboel. The biggest dog I've owned was a massive 120lb Pitbull terrier and Mastiff mixed. He was intimidating to others but he was heavily socialized. He loved everyone especially kids.
He seems act like a small dog and doesn't realize how big he is. He is a total tank but honestly seems like a completely sweet heart of an animal
Johnny's tempament is exactly like my boerboel's tempament. Very loyal and affectionate. Beautiful breed of dogs. Love from South Africa ❤🇿🇦
What a gorgeous hunk of dog! Such a baby!
Such a sweet pup! Thanks!!
He must have the perfect owners. Imagine, this is his first groom? And he was so well behaved.
Johnny is a very handsome and well behaved but also very slobbery boy.
I think johnny was one of the best boys that you had on the shows ❤🎉
What a good boy
HE IS STUNNING! 🥰
That is a very handsome rhino, not a dog. 😄 Seriously, Johnny is one of the most powerful looking dogs I've ever seen. At first glance you want to think he's fat, but no; it's just slabs of muscle. Amazing! Such a good boy for your first groom, Johnny!
Hahahahahha
He was sooo cute. The way he was trying to rest his head on your shoulder 😊 his parents have done just a wonderful job of training and loving him. Well done 👏
Jonny enjoyed that ❤
When my father bought our farm here in South Africa in 1960,he bought the farm with the Boerboel,Sabre.He proved to be a loyal dog.
bubbling Jonny, a very gentle one... imagine if he had the history of pippin... thank whoever you want, that this one fell instantly in love with vanessa
which is exactly why so many dogs aren't recommended for first or even second time dog owners. Having such a powerhouse under your guardianship, it's important to teach the dog proper manners. Otherwise it could end fatally.
@@Alberich_Prince_of_Dwarves This is especially true of boerbulls as they have an average bite force of about 450 psi but some bigger ones like johnny here are closer in build to cane corso and can have up to 800! Thats enough to crush bones easily. I grew up with a bullmastiff and boerbull, with proper training they are the most amazing addition to a family. Accidents happen though and even the most trained dog can nip or bite when surprised or scared, so when your dogs bite force is up to double a grey wolfs, you need to be very experienced and confident!
@@mikacakes 100%. I'd love to own a mastiff but I also know I couldn't physically hold it back if training ever failed and I just can't take that risk. While still severe (from a training perspective) if the same thing happens, smaller breeds just don't make the same amount of damage.
They're such gorgeous dogs, though.
@@Alberich_Prince_of_DwarvesI’m not sure anyone could hold back 200lbs of muscle and determination when this breeds protection mode kicks in.
@@Itsacrazyworldwelivein Exactly! Which is why it's so important to know your dog breeds.
I guess when your job is to defend your home against LIONS, getting groomed isn't such a bad day. What a handsome boy, absolutely love how calm and confident he is
Um lions, natives...you clearly haven't been to SA. 😅
@@TH-camGlobalAdminstratorthats what they were initially bred for .....
They make a great pairing with a Rhodesian Ridgeback.....they help keep the Ridgeback calm.
@@TH-camGlobalAdminstratorit’s actually tru my guy. Their size and bark, in large numbers are enough to make a lion question itself, especially if you’ve got some ridgebacks In the mix
He's gorgeous!!❤
