This is a dog lover's introduction into one of if not my favorite breed. The boerboel aka the South African Mastiff is a highly intelligent dog with keen instincts for guarding and protection work.
The Boerboel Breed History
The Boerboel dates back to the mid-1600s in South Africa. Its name comes from the Afrikaan word “boer,” which means “farmer.” This word refers to the early white Dutch farmers who settled in South Africa. The farmers used large, Mastiff-like dogs to guard and protect their farms and families. Dutchman Jan van Riebeeck arrived at the Cape Horn of South Africa in 1652. He brought a dog with him to protect his family in the wild, unfamiliar and unforgiving new territory. That popular Dutch dog was called a "Bullenbitjer." These were large, muscular Mastiff-type canines with extremely strong guarding and protective instincts. These dogs undoubtedly were bred with native domestic South African dogs.
The Great Trek inland that started in the 1800s, as a result of Dutch and other European colonists protest to tight British rule in southern Africa. Resulted in the Boer dogs being scattered across the region. Those that survived the harsh environment were exceptionally hardy, trustworthy, adaptable and loyal. They lived with people who were isolated from the rest of the world and relied on them for guarding, herding and companionship. These dogs were a primary line of defense against all predators, both wild and human. They also were used to track and hold down wounded game, until the hunters could retrieve it and use it as a source of food.
Sometime in the 1930s, Bullmastiffs were brought to South Africa by the De Beers diamond company to guard their mines. These dogs played an important role in the development of the Boerboel. Rhodesian Ridgebacks and their descendants likely contributed to the Boerboel as well.

My brother has a 150lb. male Boerboel. These dogs are no joke. Don't even think about approaching one you don't know. These dogs are fearless and like to show dominance.
are they strong?
+XFTX XX they are weak u can go and pet it
Scary strong
They ain't weak I'll have you know, Yeah, sure they can be loving but our girl would go crazy if the time came. Anyone go near our other dogs, us or the baby in the house, they going down. But she is also the most loyal, adoring creature.
+ino mbo nope. my boerboel scared me sometimes but as long as you show dominance then your fine. they are strong and fearless dogs. they are champion breeds
Boerboels are not for everybody, but for me they are life. I don't think the 10-12 year lifespan is correct, though. My Boerboel is 14-years-old and going strong. He tops the scales at 200-lbs, too. He is retired, but was a great guard dog, watchdog, obedience competitor, knew 26 different tricks, would herd goats, tracked game, competed in weight pulling, loved carting, competed in agility and even did lure coursing. He is still a great guard dog, but is retired from competition. I believe his long life and excellent health comes from a good breeder (bred for work, not show) and the fact that I feed him a raw diet.
I love your comments. I have a 15-month old Boerboel, my first. I am truly in love with the breed. I also have two Standard Poodles. I feed them all a raw diet. Not many people know of this breed but it will spread quickly I am sure. My only hope is the breed is not destroyed by back alley breeding. You dog is blessed by the tricks you taught him. Mine is just a house dog who is loved and gives love. Thank you for your thoughts.
Macie Fergal lovely Breed i Have 10 Boerboels
Macie Fergal I also have 3 boerboels myself and they do average out 11-12 years with the exceptions, my oldest was 14
Macie Fergal I
Ripplie is raw more expensive than kibble? What exactly do you feed him?
Boer boel The south African mastiff is One of my Favorite Breed dog forever.
Fedrick Wanyama mine as well!
I own one as well. I've owned pitbulls, dogo Argentinos, german shepards, and nothing comes close to the guarding abilities.
@@justinlough9057 I have also own quite a few breeds and the only dog that came near my boerboels guarding ability is my boerboel/rottweiler mix.
My also and it is the world strongest dog
One of the best Boerboel introductions i have seen so far on youtube :-). Only facts and honest towards possible owners. This is one of the breeds where 'think twice before you own' is very much in place.
I love your video. I miss my two Boerboels, and I am planning to get two more soon. They lived until they were 14 and 16. (Attie Badenhorst was their breeder) They are THE BEST dogs I have ever owned. They are NOT fighting dogs. They are good guard dogs, very smart and lovable.Zeke this is a wonderful educational video. Tugs at the old heartstrings. I never had any problems with Sefu or Kenya. They lived in Army quarters and later, when we moved back to the US, in our backyard. They were always the talk of the town where ever we took them, once even to Spring Break in Daytona, where they really were the most popular thing there! Everybody wanted a picture with them. Everybody wanted to know about them. They were admired and loved by everyone who got a chance to meet them. They always passed temperament tests, and traveled well. I really do miss them. No other dog compares to them. No...not one.
Sharon Johnson lovely Breed i Have 10 Boerboels
Where in America can I buy a quality dog? Thankyou!
I owned one for 10 years and she was the best dog I have ever owned. Extremely loyal and protective, the best guard dog I have ever had. I recently got another boerboel puppy once you own this breed you can't stop, best breed ever
I've always had labs,which I used for hunting of course. Because of a physical disability,I just couldn't anymore. Found mine in the paper, he was the runt. Picked him up for 400.00 the runt stuff meant nothing to me. Every one knows the lab, how loving they are. Didn't know that there could even be a more loving dog. Till I met my boy Titus. He's 8 now and can't even put my head around the thought of him being gone someday. As far as " runt " goes, he filled out to a sleek 120lbs.
This was the best short documentary that I have seen in years about Boerboels . I have one he is my best friend . He will be 4 years old this year.....
Darryl Ward are they strong ?
EXTREMELY powerful dog.Complex disposition.Do not even THINK of approaching one unless you have taken PLENTY of time getting to know one.Even then, don't initiate physical greetings.Let them greet you.
Darryl Ward lovely Breed i Have 10 Boerboels
Out of all of the dogs I've had the boerboel is the best all around dog. Very dominate but great with all kids and family. Not a high prey drive but definitely definisive. For a family guardian with space and a dominate owner there is nothing better.
I own two boereboels. Male and female. They are only 18 months and already they're big, specially the male. We bought them in a farm 200KM from East London, Eastern Cape, where they breed them. They are obedient animals. Except around strangers, they lose their sh*t quickly.
Vusi Sizani stronger than rottys?
Bigger
Vusi Sizani I have one male 150lbs and is on point
Vusi Sizani lovely Breed i Have 10 Boerboels
Nice video! I love my Boerboel; she's part of the family, we just adore her.
Can we all take a moment to appreciate the narrator’s educative effort regarding the breeds power and not leaving small children alone with ANY powerful breed. But I’ve seen a chihuahua go terminator on a 5 yr old. Regardless, people buy powerful breeds, do not train them, turn on the dogs aggression drive (it’s in all dogs) never teaching them to shut it off, then blame the dogs for their instinct! SMH! IF YOU HAVE NO INTENTION OF DOING THE WORK WITH a DOGS SPECIFIC NEEDS, ITS ABUSE, DO NOT BUY THE BREED! There needs to be stricter buying rules for humans.
Cecelia mine used to babysit all the time. Kids wake up at 5:30am and want to watch cartoons. I’d come down at 7 and find all three of them using her as a pillow while she watched the door (she would always be facing the front door because that’s where the threat is likely to come from). She’d tell them off when they argue, cuddle them at nap time, play all day long and when my son escaped when he was 18 months old she was first after him barking like there’s no tomorrow. Wolves see looking after the young as a whole pack activity. There are no formal mother and father roles and even the previous years littler will take their turn looking after this years cubs. Dogs think exactly the same way. The mastiff guard duty is an absolute concept. It’s her job to make sure no harm comes to them even if they are trying to shove a Lego brick in her ear. She used to confiscate any toys being used as weapons. These dogs thrive on responsibility and there is no way they’d consider breaking that trust once they know they have it.
Hello my dear how are you doing and where are you from?
Hello
I am "owned" by two of these magnificent warriors! They are everything good that is said about them! I am so lucky to have them in my life!
i need me a Boerboel in my life ASAP
These dogs look so majestic, they are impressive to look at.
Someone just posted this on FB....just watched it. Nice job Zeke. Thank you again for the great day!
Thank you, still my favorite shoot.
+Dogumentary TV wassup zek sent u a video of my dog nipsey
Thank you, Zeke. Well done and so true. The dogs in this video are beautiful examples of the breed. I own a boerboel -- a "velcro dog" who prefers to stay by me. They're wonderful, but require vigilant and considerate owners. Early and consistent training is best for any dog, but mandatory for such a powerful, intelligent animal. Because they're so strong, voice control is a must. Boerboels respond best to positive-reinforcement training like NILIF ("nothing in life is free"). If you're looking to own one, find a breeder whose top priority is temperament. They DO get big! :)
Goofus Broadway are they strong ?
That’s a beautiful powerful dog. Too much for me to handle though.
I have one I just got it before 2 days ago
Thanks man this video was awesome, I was really looking forward to it!
I have seen Boerboels playing gently with rabbits and birds.
That's very possible if they're raised together. We had a cat that would go outside and lay in the sun with our boerboel and the dog would groom her and play with her
What a combo the Boerboel, & DogoArgentino wow!
A Dogo Argentino has a bit higher energy than a Boerboel the Boerboel because of its overall weight does that. A Boerboel can overwhelm physically in any one or thing in an attack by all
matter by the way.
I own one. He is not fully grown but he is very powerful. I am going to get another. He needs alot of exercise, and a back yard would be nice. Mine is excellent with children. I do have in training. if he senses danger he shields me, by standing in front of me.
are they stronger than Rottweiler's
XFTX XX highly likely
I'm a Rottie fanboy but this dog is bigger and probably stronger than Rottie
Bobby Bass have you heard of the central asian avtjarka or the caucasian ovtjarka? 😄 they are intimidating :)
XFTX XX you like me I was trying to choose between rock or Boer myself lol
Love the video's and would like to see something on the Tosa Inu or more on the Dogo Argentino maybe on the hunt for wild board. Many thanks from a big fan!
awesome dogs! awesome video! chur my bro, from New Zealand
As a single woman... best dog ever.
Yes and your boyfriend should be very careful. I do not know why but they love to protect woman and children. And they take it very seriosly.
This is a great dog
This is a dope dog but how they get Shaq to narrate this
These are always your best work, more please!
YEA THIS CHANNEL SOULD HAVE BEEN ON TV ALONG.TIME AGO
Thank you for your great work!
Nice looking mastiffs.
BOERBOEL
@@koosbos1114 Its a south african mastiff or south african farm dog.
I love big dog breeds like this, wish I had a farm I would get one and dogo too
They go fine in smaller homes as long as you walk them 2+ hours a day and give them a new bone and rope every time they're destroyed by the dog
Gonna get a male and name it Simba. Will be a great addition to my pack of myself and my girl Nala
love
BOERBOEL
ok thank you so much
I own two Game bred pitbulls and one Boerbel Great dogs with a Strong Leadership :)
Good videos as always man
Glad to see you still on it zeke!
Best dog channel on youtube!!
Trying to find a. "breed specific" book on the Boerboel.....AWESOME BREED.
Beautiful babies
@Cindy McKenzie have you seen my other Boerboel videos?
Dogumentary TV no i have not, this is the first time.
th-cam.com/video/zpeikQEiuy4/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/t4tlKICEZho/w-d-xo.html
you should subscribe to the channel a lot of great dog breed videos here.
C. V. lovely Breed i Have 10 Boerboels
I had a mix♥️
AWSOME breed
Great video thanks
the most important thing for this dog is space
Amazing dogs.
They are quite popular in my country. I don't get why they are rare. I had a Rottweiler-Boerboel cross once. She was a lovely dog!
I own a boerboel/rottweiler mix and he is a great dog but he is a lot of work, very dominant/territorial and protective. He won't bite someone if we invite them in the yard but while the person is still outside at the gate he goes crazy so 99% of people that come to our house won't come in if we don't put the dog away
Great video thanks for making one about the boerboel
Yes, to those who understand, very different in many ways to the Bullmastiff.
Great video, I admire your video's.
Great video!!
Jessica Johnston lovely Breed i Have 10 Boerboels
Cracking dogs 👍
I love your channel man. You put up some great content for dog lovers. The dog breeder/kennel videos are especially awesome.
Any plans to do something similar for the Staffordshire Bull Terrier?
working on it.
This breed representative very power, beuautiful dogs !
Most beautiful Boerboels! Who is the breeder for them? Is the breeder in South Africa?
lovely Breed i Have 10 Boerboels
Awesome video keep up the great work! Hey zeke how do you feel about staffies for a family pet?
South African mastiff?
More like
South African massive dog, like holy moly the way they grow so fast and get so big like what the heck?!
Dogo, boerboel, cane corso PERIOD
They also come in black and brindle. But not recognized.
I would really like to see u make a video on Turkish Kangals or Anatolian Shepherds.
love thm dogs💖
Well said 👌🏼 great breed.
Top mastiff breed.💯💯
The Farmers would never encourage dog fighting. The dogs had to work in teams. A fighting dog is useless to them.
Cool...
How do boerboels compare to cane corsos temperament wise?
Boers are much more alert
Which one is more friendly to guests and children? Are either ok with other dogs?
+Marc Sleiman cane corso
I had one they just need attention and treat them well . They friendly towards kids , the aggression comes out when provoked . Once you restrict a dog from kids it wont understand them hence it will attack them every time.
+Marc Sleiman boerboel. my boerboel was great with kids and very alert when it came to anyone who walked by my house. boerboels get bigger then cane corsos in my opinion though. mine was stronger and way bigger then me. he was 192 lbs at 1year and 5 months
Супер!!!!!!!
I took in a 4yr old male and he has severe separation anxiety. Is this normal for this breed?
Did you adopt him ??
Not really
We had them back in 99 when everbody had pits, rotties. Dobermans
wowww
If they can take em out quick most mastiffs can't last with the pit bulls
That makes you a legitimate hipster.
Most defly I can tell you a lot about them
Maybe a few will but for the most part naw it's not a fighting dog farming, protection guardian breed there athletic but a game pit I don't think it would last the fight kangal tosas bully kuttas those are big fight breeds the boerboel isn't that
zeke can you find a tosa inu? (Japanese mastiff) that would be boss! please keep up the great work!
Unfortunately, there are none in California. But I will keep an eye out.
not that nice though. just ok
no video of the puppies...what's up with that? there were clearly two females in the video that just had puppies. I watched this entire video to see the pups.
If I don’t have a farm what can it do for stuff to do
Play fetch and walk your dog, they aren't the most energetic dogs around but they do need at least 30 min excersize a day
mișto caine am și eu unul
I like this video and the title far better than the previous BB video. @zeke what part of Ca. are you in? If you are ever around Big Bear lake give me a shout and you can visit with my Boerboels.
I'm in Los Angeles. Email your contact info and let's see if we can do something soon. I opened the schedule for a lot of filming in August. documentary@gmail.com
email sent
sorry wrong address. autocorrect got me again. DOGUMENTARY@gmail.com
okay check now.
just checked no email. try sending it to bullybadasstv@gmail.com
If I had a big enough place and enough money to get one the oh yeah boerboel all the way
Any puppies coming soon
can you do belgium mals with there breeders please ...
Never leave kids with boerboel what BS is that I grew up with these dogs and this includes went to plenty of adult only households with these dogs and the most aggressive thing to happen as a kid is it trying to sit on my lap like a overgrown Yorkie. If you are a parent you have more chance of being biten especially if the dog thinks you are hurting a child
I agree with you we got a boerboel when I was 8 years old and that dog *never* tried to bite me and we had her for 9 years
If I needed a guard dog it would be the boerboel I wish they were more common
I can’t find any breeders near the New England area ? Any help ? My best friend had one of these dogs and I absolutely loved him and he loved me. I would love to have one of my own someday!
There's one out of Indiana that's one of the best breeders in the country and they ship them to you.
+bullybadasstv you should do more on the mastiff's breed
Please do Belgian Malinois next
Boerboels show sexual dimorphism, so the females have a feminine face and the males have a masculine face. If you look closely, you can see it in the group of Boerboels in the owner's yard.
I know the guy who brought boerboels to the states
Lamone Shockley
hey bud how are you. the gentleman that you know does he currently have a page or contact info. wanted to get more information on the dog i love the breed
Tell that guy thanks for ruining a perfect breed of dog. Once the Americans get hold of anything it turns to shit..
Awsome
Cool story
I'm not from america but you really shouldn't ruin this breed. This is an awesome dog that was bred in south Africa and it should stay the way it was bred mixing this dog with other dogs isn't right because you're gonna ruin the breed
Can we get a video about the Fila??
There are only two breeders in So Cal and neither wants to make time for filming. So until I start traveling out of California there will be no Fila videos. But it is a breed I'd love to film so it will happen as soon as the opportunity arises.
good job however i thought the american bully is ur fav breed.
Nope! I love American Bullies but never were they my favorite breed. Actually my favorite breed fluctuates from time to time. Mostly between APBT and Boerboels or some other short haired mastiff. Boerboels never drop out of the top 2 positions though.
+BullyBadAssTV do you own one?
No I rescued a Pit.
Do living with Great Danes or English setters
I have five boerboals should I sell
are all dog breeds allowed to be in your channel or just the bully breed
The channel is now DOGumentary. I will do features on any breed I find interesting.
very good video.. it is very difficult to understand to the guy speaking.
Beautiful breed. I want to get one soon. But docking the tail is disgusting and disturbing and very hard to look at.
do the Portuguese Fila next
too rare in the US
We have a bitch and a dog , fantastic guarding dogs easily trained but need strong willed owners as they are quite dominant , they love us but are very stand offish with other folk , the bitch is definitely the boss !
I got one in London UK tie up and left out side a gate for to day
MY FAV... TO BAD THIS NOT SO KNOWN IN FINLAND
De bor doo
blæhh. Me and my dog was attacked by two of these dogs.. The owner was pulled to to ground and dropped the leashes.. barely managed to throw my dog over its mouth as it slid by (my dog is jack r size).. the owner managed to get to the male dog when it was trying to turn around on the ground.. i silently moved away when they wrestled on the ground. Very scary situation, the other female dog apparently just followed the male and did nothing when the owner wrestled the male. THESE DOGS ARE NOT FOR IDIOTS TO BUY.. If you are a alcoholic, drug addict, criminal, or someone with a need to have a big dog for bragging rights.. Dont buy this fucking dog.. Only competent people should own this dog. And by competent i mean actual experience in dog training and big dogs.. not a imaginary thing like you cant handle it, or some idiotic dog expert with zero actual experience.
Fool
Couldn't agree more, these dogs are not for inexperience people or people who want to look badass because they have a big dog. I saw a comment on another video of a guy who bought this dog as a first time dog owner and the dog attacked 3 of his friends. If people don't know what they're doing with this dog its gonna show and that not gonna be very pleasant
True, majestic dog but not a dog for anyone or everyone , not a rotweiller , pitbull or german shepard like dog that most people think they can own Some BB’s grow up to be 100kg+ , if bigger than 100kg(220 pounds) they cant be a show dog. This dog will own the owner if you dont know what you are doing , remember this beast can weight almost double that of your average Dogo Argentenia eventhough the BB is seen as the most agile mastiff breed. So imagine a 200 pound Dogo Argentinia but one that can move faster than a 110 pound Dogo. A Dogo is in any case way too much dog for me as a dog lover, just like the Boerboel.
I've already seen this breed going out of shape and to loose and sloppy it should be rock hard this dog worked on a farm all day every day holding down big hogs etc etc and people are already spoiling hundreds of years breeding just like they did to the bulldog,bull terrier just to name two other breeds they've ruined
handsome fellows. I would not like to see them stuck in an apartment.
Any info for southern California breeders???
look on ig I follow several good breeders of the boerboel and film brasiliero breeders
+AJ The dogman Never got into social media homie. no fb no ig no tinder. no nada.
+Jr Mac De'Swade Google
+Kid82fy no google
Boerboels are very impressive dogs, but neither the Boerboel or Kangal is a match for the Caucasian Ovcharka, IMO. The CO is infamous for being almost insanely aggressive towards both other dogs and people, and having a dog that can weigh up to 220 pounds with that kind of fearlessness and ferocity is a scary proposition.
And need by people with have big mouth, no muscles and very small penis outside of Russia!
Mike S The orvcharka is too big and will tire out in a fight. This is not the case with the kangal, its a very agile (for a big dog), just as big and genetically has better cardio. So I don't think it'll lose to a orvcharka.
Only when any of these breeds are bred and owned by bad people i have seen sweet loving specimens
The BB is aggresive but luckily his power can be somewhat managed , any dog like the CO which is uncontrolable should rather be in a cage , otherwise its like a child with an Ak-47 , I dont want any dog like that.
How much for one pupy?
3000 from a good breeder
