This is GREAT info! My female Boerboel is 15 months now at 130 lbs, and thank the good Lord I socialized her and continue to do so. I totally trust her with other dogs. As a puppy though she really tested me….I had to be consistent. This breed is definitely not for everyone. I live in Hawaii and her vet never heard about her breed! I LOVE going for a walk with her because she’s great on the leash and she is definitely a head turner. I love her❤
Just purchased your book, very interested breed. Education is very important. Looking forward to learning more about this breed from your book. 📕 thanks and God bless your program.
Bro i said this before ! And ill say it again!!!!! You guys are my top channel on not only this breed. But all the others you cover too. Keep up the good work 💪👏
My female Boerboel is 18 months and just had Bilateral TPLO Surgeries. $8,500 in total. Costs me approx. $350 per month to feed her. I do choose to feed a costly diet. Aslso her prevention costs about $500 per yr. She is exactly 80kg so costs are high, BUT WORTH EVERY CENT
I cannot emphasize enough how IMPORTANT socialization is. My boerboel's mom and dad were very aggressive and I was quite scared innitially, but I took him everywhere treated him like a handbag dog he goes everywhere with me and he is the friendliest dog I have ever owned. He doesn't take disrespect from other dogs at all he is a boerboel, but he is friendly always wants to play and loves meeting people as long as they are introduced slowly and approprately!
Rui a quick question in terms of pack mentality. When Ares play’s with his Spanish Mastiff of Cane Corso buddies at ten months he is already stronger and more athletic than either dog and sometimes they will tell him off and he will respond by dialling down the intensity and accept the senior dogs correction. My question is that as he is only still a puppy is he likely to retain his manners or will he seek to dominate as he matures. I also intervene by moving the dogs on(concentrate on me and explore the field or sometimes give him a time out on the lead until he calmes down). He never gets aggressive but doesn’t get scared either, with non mastiff type dogs he automatically reduces his intensity and doesn’t body slam.
Yeah, I've had 7 of these dogs and only one of those I didn't have to end up beating into submission or depriving them of food. You've got to really show these dogs whose boss everytime you let them off the chain or out the cage. They've got to whimper everytime you raise your hand at them. I've been bit several times already but those were just bad dogs.
Ive had both, currently have a 185 pound male. Size is different. Bull mastiffs are big but not like a boerboel. Also my guy is so laid back. I would also say that they're stubborn like no other dog because they don't throw a fit or anything. They just sit down while you're on a walk and you want them to move. It's super important that they listen to you. And it's worth saying again. The size difference is crazy which means food is more expensive. Everything vet visits. I had to build my own crate, I'm a welder, to go into the back of my truck to transport him. He just didn't fit otherwise.
Hi there your dogs look amazing and so healthy congrats also your videos and the information on the breed and pedigree s are 💯 percent thank U for sharing it all
Check Guy major comment for RAW meat =) Kibble depend on each brand but around 1kg per day a adult male, a female a bit less but depend on each brand and each dog specifically
I have one of Rui’s pup’s he is 10 months old weighs 65kg and eats between 1.5kg and 2kg of meat a day plus free flow cold press kibble, stroke him and you can feel his rib’s. They are best considered as a project which takes a substantial investment in time, money and love., the commitment level required is similar to having a child. Are they worth the frustration and hard work? 100%. Oh one last thing is you had better be strong because as well as you may train you 10 month old 65kg pup they maybe something that suddenly grabs his attention and the raw power that comes down the lead is huge(for my dog it’s deer).
They need to experience the World from an early age and engaged. Their brains are getting hardwired from the start through at least the first 24 months. It takes a male 2-3 years to fully mature.
Don’t buy any boerboels from United States buy from elite boerboels or noxterra boerboels in England perfect by every standard and both have real knowledge of the breed
I’am in U.K. and my pup flew in from Elite in Portugal at 15 weeks so he fulfilled UK entry requirements. I had researched for about a year and went for Elite because of the quality of the dogs and the kennel set up. The extra time(4 weeks) that he spent with Elite allowed him to complete Elites training academy so he turned up toilet trained, new all basic commands and how to walk to heel on the lead. My dog is mow ten months old and has never once toileted in the house. You may miss a little bit of the cuddles but you get a lot less stress. Be aware that Elites dogs are working Boerboels that are highly intelligent and very athletic with a level of muscle not seen with most breeders. You will need to be fit and strong because you will have to devote a lot of time to them in their first couple of years. Mine is superb with children, great with small dogs and has been happy to play with adult Spanish Mastiff and Cane Corso’ since he was 4 months old. Lastly this is a very serious animal that for all the goofy fun he is constantly doing risk appraisal for me, his territory and all the people he knows and loves.
I love the dogs I had big dog s before Bullmastiff s and Dogue de Bordeaux but I am looking at this breed for companion for myself maybe next year no rush thanks for replying
Billabong (surf brand) its a brand that i use a lot i guess they love california also! =) I would like to visit california one day also and surf some waves there =)
My favourite boerboel breeder. There are some breeders who breed boerboels that are too skinny for the true standards of the breed while some boerboels are too too short. But for your case your boerboels are medium height to tall and physically fit just like the breeds standards requires them to be
The untold truth is yall crossing em with Neo’s and other breeds to get these colors. Been around this breed since 2002 and never seen these colors until the past couple of years when the breed got popular
Thats good if you want to build some muscle in a short period of time for some reason, or to keep him lean or prepare him for a show ( which i dont do), but as something to give every single day i dont recommend, usually will make the blood to thick and will have him tired easily.
🎉 Not judging anyone but repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. The Lord Jesus died and was resurrected on the third day for us so that we might have eternal life through believing in him and obedience to him and the word. Accept the lord Jesus as your savior today if you haven’t already have a blessed day. The lord Jesus is coming back soon be ready 💜💜💜 ✝️✝️✝️ 🎉🎉

100%! ❤
Best breed hands down for large breed dog fighting. I've only been disappointed twice but I think those two were malnourished.
I read your book and I am on your mailing list. When my family and I are ready. We are coming to you.
Thanks 🙏
I can't wait till we have our conversation when it's my turn to get my dog. Because I will definitely be getting my pup from you

@@guyhmajor he will calm down and probably will dominate the other dogs but usually not physically they will know don’t worry much my friend

What is a good diet for these type of dogs
Amazing video, so many value points! People should know before hand everything!!!!
Thanks ALex! =)
Would you pick boerbel over bullmastiff? Or they are equally the same almost?

Been looking at the breed two years on utube and will see about puppy next year maybe but love the work and info U give thanks
@@JohnLacey-x2f ✌️✌️
Hi,! How many grams of food does an adult boerboel eats on average per day (male and female)? Thanks!
Check Guy major comment for RAW meat =) Kibble depend on each brand but around 1kg per day a adult male, a female a bit less but depend on each brand and each dog specifically
how bad is the drool?
Not that bad, actuially most dont even drool.
I brought the book and it is very informative
Awesome thanks so much!
I have one of Rui’s pup’s he is 10 months old weighs 65kg and eats between 1.5kg and 2kg of meat a day plus free flow cold press kibble, stroke him and you can feel his rib’s.

Thanks for the comment my friend, 65kg at 10 month he is PERFECT! =)
Mine is coyotes, the power these dogs have is unbelievable
They need to experience the World from an early age and engaged. Their brains are getting hardwired from the start through at least the first 24 months. It takes a male 2-3 years to fully mature.
Always make sure the breeders test for Hip and Elbow Dysplasia if they don't they are NOT a good breeder
Do you have any breeder recommendations for the United States
@@Southbaypresa how old was your pup when you got him? I heard with puppy vaccinations requirements it’s difficult to import at a young age.
Don’t buy any boerboels from United States buy from elite boerboels or noxterra boerboels in England perfect by every standard and both have real knowledge of the breed
Ill let my clients answer for me there eheh =)

Hi 👋🏼 not breeding them soon my friend but I can try to do a video on alabai soon

👍👍
The untold truth is yall crossing em with Neo’s and other breeds to get these colors. Been around this breed since 2002 and never seen these colors until the past couple of years when the breed got popular
Omg lol 😂
Question does anyone else feed there boerboerls ox or cow hearts from the butchers?
Thats good if you want to build some muscle in a short period of time for some reason, or to keep him lean or prepare him for a show ( which i dont do), but as something to give every single day i dont recommend, usually will make the blood to thick and will have him tired easily.
What's the truth about black Boerboel's?
