Home Of The Rare Breed.
Several of us here are planning to take a trip to South Africa to visit breeders, and friends that we have made on this site. Please post here if you are interested in joining or hosting a group of us to stay while we are there. We also need to hear from breeders that will welcome us to come visit, and view their boerboels for the day or maybe just a couple of hours. As of now it will be sometime next year 2013, still working out the details. This post will be here for the discussion of the trip, to make plans, and so on. More information to come!
Those interested in hosting, or allowing us to come by to view your boerboels please list a general location so we can start to map out our event. Thank you!
I will start to make a list below. If you don't see your name on the list, and would like to take part please let me know.
I started an event on Facebook but for some reason it was created with the wrong date. You can find the event, and discussion here. I sent out over a thousand invites letting people know about it. I may try and setup a new event soon with correct date.

Awesome news!! My house is open to each and every TB member. Might have to pitch a tent and sleep with my BB's, and I promise they don't bite!! LOL!! Great initiative Marco!!
I am in! Dries, we'll bring our own tents thank-you. LOL!
Some information: Delta is the only airline that flies non-stop from USA to Johannesburg and it is a 15 hr flight from Atlanta. The cost is approximately $1750-$1800 depending on when we travel. May cost a bit more depending on where you are coming from to Atlanta. May be possible to get a travel agent to do a bulk pricing deal if we get enough interest. I would like to stay a week to 10 days and get some sight seeing done as well. I am quite flexible.
We'd love to join you guys!!!
I would Love to go, ultimate vacation, just touring Boerboel Breeders, but sadly my wife wont let me go, she is afraid i would bring back a plane full of Boerboel pups! and she's right LOL i'll go anyway count me in!
