awesome video Oom Johan, I've seen loads of breeders selling incorrect types but yesterday i viewed 2 American breeders with lovely dogs - the lips were tight - well balanced and the best is that they spoke about the faults of their dogs as well as the good points.
I have never cared much for Dog Shows. They prove nothing, but what is the dog look fancy of the day. For $$$ purposes only. The greatest dog show available is in the bush, forest, home, and working. It's the only way I have found to see if a dog is what he/she is supposed to be. My boy has a couple of Faults that "I" see. Such as longer lips and back not as straight as you have described. But still, he is Perfect to "Me". Please keep informing us so we can SAVE our chosen friends.
I agree. Dogs are raised in kennels and used as production animals. Most breeders never handle their own dogs, not even to show them. Health is something that gets ignored for as long as there are no return puppies and the dog looks good on a picture. I believe Boerboels should be tested for health issues as far as possible.
Thank you for another great video. I check for new videos every day. I watched the previous one about the black dogs several times. After this video i am even more convinced that we need to save the breed. The problem at this point is where does a new breeder begin? Where do we find dogs that we can start with and move forward with?
The SABBS is the appointed Breeders Society in the Republic of South Africa. You will have to follow their rules to register such a dog. They have registered dogs coming from 'unknown' parents in the past, after their procedure was followed, so it should be possible.
Hi John, my apologies. I really neglected the email inquiries. We had a double cyclone in Mozambique and I got incredibly busy with an agri project. I managed to reply to about 40% of the inquiries a few days ago and hope to be able to do the rest on Friday. Again.... I plead guilty.....
Johan thanks for your lifes work and devotion to this magnificent breed. Thank you for remaining TRUE to the breed.

That is the way to go. When the breed standards get demystified and training becomes available, owners will
Recognise the good and the not so good in their own dogs

Health wise, we have a challenge most of dog's are carriers of unchecked health issues

so excited to have your ebook!
Where can we find the document you did ? Would be interesting to see how the standards varied .
Once again very clear information!
Please do a video on the docking of the boerboel tails. Is it necessary or it is purely for aesthetics?
I already made a video but the editor is battling to get some technical aspect corrected. I will put it on the channel as soon as it is finished
So at the moment you now have 2 books available about the Boerboel?
Yes. The Origins and history of the breed and now the Breed Identity
How do I register an non registered puppy?
The SABBS is the appointed Breeders Society in the Republic of South Africa. You will have to follow their rules to register such a dog. They have registered dogs coming from 'unknown' parents in the past, after their procedure was followed, so it should be possible.
@@boerboelacademy it's true 👍
Wanted to order your book so I emailed you to the email you posted but I have never received a reply.

@@boerboelacademy completely understandable. I just wanted to make sure I didn’t make a mistake on my part. Thank you for responding
