    A few years ago we vacationed on a farm in Mpumalanga, South Africa. Took the owners Boerboel on a walk through the veldt. Actually, he just decided to join us and it was love at first sight. Anyway, as we walked further and further from the homestead, he would walk in front of me and stand still. This happened a few times and every time I just swerved around this giant dog and continued walking. It was around the fourth time he stopped dead in front of me, I said to my husband "I think this dog doesn't want us to walk here." So we turned around and went back. When we told the story to the owner a few days later she said "Oh yeah, he does that when he sees snakes in the bushes."
    He was the best.

      my sister's cat did a very similar thing once to my mom when I was a kid. my mom was going to check the raccoon trap one morning (normally it wasn't set up but there was a trash burglar for the past week or so that my parents wanted to eliminate). the cat kept running down the hill after my mom, jumping up to claw at her legs and hissing at her. she didn't figure out why he was acting that way until she realized he only would jump at her from the same direction - he was putting himself between her and where there was a raccoon stuck in the trap. once my mom realized this she stopped being annoyed and started praising him, he got a can of tuna when they came back inside. (poor buddy didn't realize that the raccoon was trapped so it wasn't a threat! he was a good boy.)

      You may or may not believe it but this doesn't take much time or effort. you only need such dogs (or better: all dogs) as young puppies wirh about 4 to 6 months old and the right place for them to be socialized. We took our Kangal to all kinds of festivities with people and other dogs and noise, took him to something like a zoo but with rather local wildlife like deer and stuff, took him to our next city for eating some ice cream while he needs to wait and be patient and took him anywhere with my car as long as he didn't need to wait alone in the car. The only thing more you need for this is patience with some scaring situations where you show them slowly that it's okay instead of forcing them and a strong bond between you and your dog :) that is all of the magic you need
      Edit: And yes I do know that most people don't do this, whether it's a Boerboel or a Golden Retriever and this can have negative consequences with any breed although a chihuahua may not be able to bite your arm off and stuff, still it can get very dangerous if the dog is left alone with a child or anything where he can easily reach the face and stuff

      Most people are too lazy to admit that training a lot of breeds is not hard. You just have to put a little more effort into it.

      And yet some of out neighbors feel the urge to tell us that we endanger kids. My uncle grew up with a caucasian shepherd. He has all his fingers and toes and didn't loose an eye.
      I get why people are careful with certain breeds. But labeling them as dangerous because most people are too lazy to get their fat a** from the couch to actually train themselves a companion is stereotypical, and can create a massive negative impact on the breed itself

If he isn't dominated he will try to protect you instead of watching you before acting and that is the main problem of almost all guardian dogs in the wrong hands.

    I discovered Boerboels in 2006 when some Armenian mercenaries were deported from my country and their dogs taken by our SPCA. They had about 8 ferocious guard dogs and I ended up adopting the two boerboels. Utterly fearless and fearsome, totally confident and aggressive but once they got to know you, they become the sweetest dogs on earth. I lived with them until they died of old age much later and it's a decision i'll never regret.

    Johnny is an excellent example of why proper training & socialization matters, from day one and of both dog and human! He is obviously sweet natured but everyone has their limits. Training helps a dog tolerate minor annoyances and helps you recognize when you are reaching the limits of that tolerance or causing discomfort. (Or determine if a specific dog should be limited in its interactions with other people or animals.) Most bad dog encounters come from people assuming their dogs will behave the same way all the time, or people approaching a dog they assume is harmless when they shouldn’t. A huge dog like Johnny, bred for protection, could easily exhibit undesirable behaviors triggered by minor action if not trained or, disgustingly, if trained for the wrong things. Hugs and scritchies to you, sweet baby!

      Dogs with good nerves do well while getting groomed. I use to have this Brn Mal and he had handler aggression issues, but he was also probably one of the best dogs if not THE best dog I've experienced bathing/clipping nails. When I say handler aggression I don't mean fear aggression I mean like when I'd play fetch with him he'd run off with the ball and if I picked up the ball once he was seemingly tired out he'd attack me for taking away the ball. Even with proper exposure to the muzzle he'd repeatedly muzzle punch me throughout entire walks for a while. Eventually I got a hang of dealing with him, but that was the first legitimately dominate dog I had dealt with. But to get to the point strong dogs often challenge you and are also often territorial, but they're also strong so they won't care as much about stuff like bathing.

      Doggo clearly approved of the courtship! I’ve always had a rule that if my dog doesn’t like someone, then there’s something wrong with that hooman and I don’t want them in my life.

      Are you one of those (lucky) people? That animals just gravitate to? Has this happened with other dogs? My best friend's stepdad is like this with cats. Doesn't do anything and in no time the kitty of the house will be hanging out next to or on top of him. 🐶🐱❤️

    When I was little, we had a Boerboel guard dog. He looked terrifying and he kept the compound very safe but he was an absolute baby. He used to lie under my crib and I've got loads of pictures of him and me. He was basically my personal protector. I adored him. Boerboels certainly can be aggressive but that's hardly their fault given that's what they were bred for. With the right training and care they are the perfect guardians. Our Boerboel passed five years ago and I miss him desperately. I guess we never forget the dogs we were raised with.

      Its so true... God, the world, luck or happenstance has made it so I have been lucky enough to be graced with devoted pups like that not just once growing up, but twice. There's no words I could use. Callie passed away when I was a sophomore in High School, and My Mojo we got about 13 years ago - he's still trucking along, and I'm in my thirties at this point. Callie got me through my childhood, and Mojo was the service animal that got me through my teens, and both were IMHO indispensable to my own success and happiness.

      Boerboels are NOT aggressive. That is NOT what they were bred for. It is NOT in their temperament. Boerboels are naturally indifferent to people and animals.

    Dogs meant to guard against wild animals don't really even have to be aggressive. Most predators are pretty cautious when they hunt. Sheer bulk, attitude, and a loud bark is often enough to make them think it's not worth the risk. Although if they do take the risk, that bulk and attitude still comes in handy.

    We had a boerboel many years ago and Toby will go down as one of the best dogs ever. He was "small" at 150 pounds and all muscle. With proper training they are gentle giants but still protective of their family. Unfortunately, we lost him to cancer and have decided at our age we didn't need a dog that was that large. But we sure miss our big buddy.

  • @catmom5622

    He gives the absolute sweetest dog kisses. He's a handsome boy. His family has done a fantastic job of socializing him.

  • @BobaSnake
    @BobaSnake 9 месяцев назад +2

    Definitely a really well socialized and trained boerboel. I own one myself and though he is the sweetest and most gentle giant to my family, it is difficult for him to allow people in the house with us or other dogs especially because of past attacks we have had from other dogs. Boerboel's also aren't for those who wish to travel a lot without them because of the deep connection with their owners, they are prone to really bad anxiety when away from their owners, for my dog we have to pack loads of treats and cans of wet dog food with his dry food in order to keep him from starving himself when we are gone. I still love my giant 7 year old boy and would recommend them to a really well experienced dog owner who is a homebody.

    That is a very handsome rhino, not a dog. 😄 Seriously, Johnny is one of the most powerful looking dogs I've ever seen. At first glance you want to think he's fat, but no; it's just slabs of muscle. Amazing! Such a good boy for your first groom, Johnny!

    I have a boerboel who I rescued at roughly the age of 6. I don't think she'd do nearly as well as he did at the groomer but she's a fantastic dog. She gets free roam of the house while I'm gone and she disturbs nothing in it. She took to my 8 year nephew immediately when she met him.

  • @TheRealSimeon
    @TheRealSimeon 10 месяцев назад +9

    As a South African this makes me miss my boerboel that we had on the farm!
    He was an absolute unit. He frequently killed baboons and yet he was so loving and gentle with me as a little boy. My grandfather used to have two boerboels before that one. One day his wife was attacked on the farm and she was able to get out one scream. Those two boerboels came running and messed the attackers up! Even though she was stabbed she survived the whole ordeal and I believe that God used those two boerboels to protect her. I thank God!
    They are loving toward their family but intruders beware because they won't take any nonsense!
