Sorry, I have two friends that just got back from Iraq, so, we were out celebrating and I just got home. Yes, Tonka is Mabel's litter mate. That is so cool! He is amazing and I feel blessed (most of the time) to have him in my life.I am coming down there in a few weeks to do some work and see Daniel, we would love to meet you and the "family".
Everything went just fine with Themba's spay and, "tummy staple" so don't worry. I'm sure Mabel will do great!!! :-)
I did see the video of mabel swimming. She seems to like it. Themba swims too although she is not crazy about it. We did a lot of swimming for rehabilitation from the surgery on her legs. Keep up the good work with Mabel. I have heard of mastiff type breeds drowning in back yard pools. You're a good mom :-)

Good morning Leah,
Themba is 120 pounds. Im not sure her measurement but i'll let you know. I never meet their parents but I think Themba looks a little more like Athena. I have to laugh because Themba is just like you describe Mabel. She is afraid of the shadow people in the back yard LOL. I have to say however that she has also stepped up a few times. We had someone doing some work for us at our house. This guy made the mistake of following my husband in the back door one afternoon and she went after him. We were surprised but happy to see it so....... Mabel would probably step up if the chips were down :-)
Happy New Year,
Annette

Hi Leah,
Our sweet Themba has OCD (a bone disorder) in both her knees and had to have surgery. It has been a very hard road for us. She had to spend the first year of her life in a crate keeping her as calm as possible while her bone graphs healed (not an easy task with a huge puppy). She is doing well now but will limp and have some discomfort the rest of her life. I contacted Daniel Neely as the disorder is hereditary. I sent him all my vet records but nothing ever came of it.
Im SO happy to hear that your puppy is healthy!!! She is beautiful :)
We also waited a heat before Themba's spay.
So nice to meet you,
Annette

Hi Leah,
My name is Annette and I have a 1yr 7month old dog from mythology boerboel too. My dogs name is Themba and she looks very similar to your puppy. Her parents are athena and kronos. We have had health issues with Themba. Have you had any with your puppy?
i'm so excited to have found this site. I just need do figure it out now haha :)

"Hello Kim welcome and thanks for posting. Sorry to hear you having trouble with your puppy. First off have you taken her to the vet? Do they know of the situation? Have they taken a urine sample? If your girl has a UTI…"
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
