discovery

As an expat living at a remote beach side plot in Takoradi, Ghana, I purchased an 8 week old male Boerboel pup just over 6 months ago. The pup grew up living outside and wandering around a large piece of land, friends, kids and other dogs were introduced slowly although other dogs are not that welcomed.

i spend most the day working from home on my patio and therefore have an almost human relationship going on; this breed of dog when not spending time being trained and playing,…

boerboel puppy training question

When I try to discipline my 3 month old male puppy, sometimes he fights me, growls, tries to bite me and won't listen.  I say no, I hold him down, I pull on his collar.  I don't let it go, but neither does he for a long time sometimes.  What other techniques should I try?

Where are members of top boerboel?

Hey there,

How come there's almost nobody here to answer our questions? we came here to be guided to a real and good boerboel ownership, raising and training but, nobody here is available to answer us.

Update on the pups!

Update on the pups:



Ruger is almost one now and I feel like this past month he has been growing like a weed! Very tall! Unlike our female Kierra, Ruger was not taken to basic training classes ( training was done at home) and I am starting to see the difference. Finding difficulty in getting him to listen to me especially when Jon is not around and extreme hyper activity at meal time. We have started making him sit and lay before eating which seems to help him calm down, but only time… Continue

Looking for a breeding female here in South Florida for a wonderful Boerboel male :D

Hi everyone from Hollywood, Florida, near Fort Lauderdale. Samson weighs 180lbs, and is in great physical condition, as well as being super friendly and loving to people and other animals (his roommates are two cats and a ten year old pitbull). He comes from Baden Boerboels in South Africa and has some great bloodlines - his father is Marvell Bucho and his mother is Baden Talita (his full pedigree is shown in my photo section). I have not had him scored yet, as I have not had a chance to…

A reminder why my dogs and I like raw food

Nero spent the weekend in hospital after he likely ate something that didn't agree with some lymph nodes around his stomach. There was a huge lump in his tummy, he had a high temperature and hit colour was rater off. Initially we thought it was an obstruction, but the x-rays showed nothing and he didn't vomit, so we decided to treat conservatively wait and see.

So of course they put him on this extremely expensive scientifically formulated gastrointestinal stuff, which, when mixed…

Although she was still a very happy pup. the doctor said that there was no other…

I wish people had a little common sense when it comes to OTHER peoples dogs.

Today I took Cane to Petco's.  We walk in and I notice a mom and son (about 2 years old) at the check out.  All of a sudden this little boy comes up to Cane like he is going to hit her, I stopped him and asked where his mother was at.  He pointed to the check out line.  This little boy continues to try to pet Cane, then he sits on the floor near her.  Cane turned around and looked at him, her nose touched his cheek…

Yet another dog park visit

After another visit to the dog park, I think I will heed Marco's advice and steer clear. The problem for me wasn't the other dogs though but their owners.

This is realy sad for me as my yard isn't that big and Maxne is so active and really relishes the open space at the park.

I had such a negative experience at the park on our last Snday visit. I wonder if any of you guys have ever experienced this kind of behaviour from other dog owners. They were so rude and telling me to…

Visit to the dog park

So we recently went on our first ever visit to the dog park. What a pleasure, for me and the puppies. At 14 months can Maxine still be called a puppy? Anyway...

Maxine is socialised as she's been to puppy school, but due to some health issues I was hospitalised and couldn't take Jigga to puppy school and he's now too old for that, so I'll start him off in obedience school next month.

I was very worried that my dogs would be aggressive towards other dogs and strangers. They tend…

My children have one of these puppies and I would like to know more about them.

As a breeder of a considered "dangerous breed" I always thought it best  not encourage the introduction of their strength and what they are truly are capable of.  Instead they were raised with love, affection and respect. I believed this to be the recipe for success. This maynot be true. I don't know but as a mother of two small children believing in this gave me a sense of comfort.

My children have one of these beautiful pups at their dads house. Not sure how old but what I…

Thx Valerie, Great Borzoi info :)

  Actually, I found a borzoi in a pound once for a mate.  Her name was Nadia, we had to set her leg & she had had probable abuse in the past. She was a really beautiful black and white dog. One day Nadia and Missy, my afghan, got treated to soup bones. I left a large area between their treets, as I was used to doing, but the Borzoi grabbed the other dog's bone and a fight was on the immediate horizon.  At that point I had to step in --and it looked like I was going to be turned on, as…

chubby Boerboels are not happy, healthy Boerboels

I have been a dog breeder, trainer, rescuer, and of course owner. Dogs have played such a large role in my life, I feel that part of my identity is co-owned with my dog pack. In fact my uncle, Red Horse Thunder, a lokata medicine man gave me the name Sunka Canku (shunka Chanku) which is Road Dog in English. All this is said to give a little perspective. I am an admirer of the working dogs. I also feel that the breed Boerboel, which is absolutely a working dog should have a lean hungry look.…

obsessive Water drinking

Our 12 week old Boerboel wants to drink water - she has had a urinary infection that we have been treating.. but this is crazy... she searches for mud puddles, rain, condensation... drinks until she is miserable and burping then lays around and pees... potty training is near impossible as she is more interested in water than life... ANY IDEAS? See More
