The Boerboel is a large, athletic mastiff developed to guard homesteads with calm confidence. When well bred and thoughtfully raised, Boerboels are steady, discerning, and deeply bonded to their families. We prioritise moderate, functional structure over extremes, with clear heads and trainable temperaments.
Key traits:
-
Height/Weight: Large, athletic working mastiff
-
Temperament: Confident, stable, affectionate with family
-
Ideal homes: Experienced owners able to provide structure, training and purposeful exercise
-
Activities: Obedience, scentwork, tracking, family guardian
Our breeding priorities:
-
Balanced drives; no nervy or overly sharp temperaments
-
Orthopaedic soundness; correct movement
-
Clear, honest breed type without exaggeration
What to expect as an owner:
Daily structure, engagement, early training, and consistent boundaries. Well-led Boerboels are calm companions; under-stimulated ones can become pushy or protective at the wrong times.
