The Boerboel is revered as a guardian of homesteads is some of Africa's most treacherous land. The breed is a guardian, hunter, and all around farm dog.
These dogs were often the first line of defense against predators and were valuable in tracking and holding down wounded game. Old farmers told many a tale of the strength, agility and courage of the Boerboel. The dangers and harsh conditions of southern Africa allowed only the fittest to survive. The protective character of the Boerboel is today still evident and is much sought after, as is the calm, stable and confident composure of the breed. The origin and purpose of the Boerboel should be understood in order to preserve the unique identity and qualities of the breed as a South African developed mastiff. Type, conformation, functional efficiency and mentality are equally important in the evaluation of the Boerboel as a whole. The Boerboel is a large dog that is strong, confident and muscular in appearance with powerful, free-flowing movement. When observing a Boerboel at play or work, standing or moving, it should show strength, suppleness, nimbleness and agility.
After living in South Africa for 6 years, I saw my first brindle Boerboel AFTER leaving the country. I find that interesting.
He is so lucky to own all theses handsome dogs good job on the video keep up the hard work
Yeah he has a great life!
The most lanky Boerboel I've ever seen
Must be a working dog
I'm south African and prefer the 'lankier' dogs for work. The studier dogs are more for show. Brandy could jump 2m fences
You spelled “well bred” wrong
Looks like a mastiff mix not a pure boerbull.
@@carsonthiel9397 negative
This BB looks like a mix with a Great Dane
Nice Brad, feels good to look at Sabir, Tashi and yourself, get some recognition on all those years of hard work. Congrats!
Breeding for performance creates a much better looking dog.
what a beautiful animal. thank you for the great explanation of the difference between true civil aggressive dogs and 'fearful' dogs.
another boerboel video! yeah boy!
the reason i like this particular dog is its stature, long legged, not overly set, my 6mo corso comes from lines with this similar structure, i see a lot of corso's nowadays short and stocky, which is all well and good, each to their own, but my guy, loki, has a longer leg and body, huge feet (which i hope he grows into :) and a very similar disposition, calm, fairly reserved around strangers and indifferent to them, but never up front aggression, i know he is bite capable as he's already done this in a live situation. I'm living down in the heel of italy where the corso comes from and the breeders here stay with the formula if it ain't broke, don't try to fix it. Too many breeders try to either create their own thing, or mess around with an already great line. Great channel dude and i'm always on the lookout for new videos
in italy search for a famous breeder named Andrea Corbara! has great tamperamented corsos and of coyrse best lines from the past ;)
dodo19923...this is actually the smallest Boerboel ive ever seen, Boerboel males are supposed to weigh 160-200 pounds, not 120
dodo19923 yeah but a boerboel is supposed to be ahort and stocky. True working boerboels from south africa tend to be not much more than 22-24" at tne withers. That dog is waaaaay too tall and thin for a true boerboel....
@@Drquimbaymatumboa speed type boerboel is the perfect blend of muscle and athletic
that's the most skinniest small headed grown male Boerboel I've seen
LOL -That's because they aren't selectively bred for the show ring &/or appraisals. Their selection is based solely on their ability to work & protect, & be healthy while doing so.
For the first few seconds after seeing his Boerboel, I couldn't understand why it's that small. I'm from Stellenbosch(South Africa) and my uncle's 2 Boeboels were much bigger(He stays in Paarl).
Timothy Gary Carolus have you heard of Spitsvuur? there tied with 2 others as the best Boerboel breeders in the world (all are from south africa)
I got my Boerboel from Spitsvuur (tied as the best Boerboel breeder
in the world) in south africa just under 2 months ago and his father was appraised around 92% (cant remember exactly)and his mother was appraised in the 94% range,and her father was Spitsvuur magic, the highest rated Boerboel ever, at 98.2% (he's still alive to)...
my boerboel puppys father weighs from the 190s to up to 200 depending on the time of year, yet he(like all well bred boerboels) is very big yet very agile...he has taken agility test were he rated at levels near trained top of the line german shepards(german shepards and collies are among the most agile dogs), and can run over 32mph (faster than other dogs except greyhounds, whippets and a few other small, ultra fast breeds)...so theres no excuse for a Boerboel to weigh 130 pounds, because the most agile/fastest boerboels still weigh between 170-200 pounds, and are the fastest, and most agile large dogs out there and still the 3rd largest dog breed while having the strongest jaw bite
"He's about 120 or 130lbs. "
"I'm bad about weighing my dogs."
"He's about 2 or 3 years old." I'm bad at remembering age.
No Brad, you have too many dogs to keep up with! Damn ,he's on every breed documentary. lol
Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin - Active working dogs are more lean and agile than their counterparts. That dog would be 150-160 if it were a couch potato.
@Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin WRONG boerboel DOESNT have a stdr. WEIGHT so they can easy be 120
That dog looks ripped, and very fit. Not like the huge meat loaf boerboels with short legs and huge heads, dragged around a show ring (and likely dead at age eight).
Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin so your so a big fat ass slow ass hell dog is better than a lean agile and more versatile dog?
@@dont_cyber_bully6605 yes, but are you taking into account size? Because a boer can be 180 lbs, but be very tall and big boned, not necessarily fat...... i have a 170 lb male. But he is lean, can see his ribs, and 28.5" at the withers..... so really is a powerhouse. Boy can he move!.
Beautiful dog and wise observations. Cheers Brad and DTV channel. Confidence and a responsive but balanced temperament is the first thing I look for in a dog. Maybe a bit big for sharing the couch with, though.
My female is 148 pounds of jacked muscle now, and VERY loving and acts like a big baby basically if we do not giver her constant attention? But it is amazing how strong, intelligent and protecting they are and I am so impressed with this breed I think I will have a Boerboel for the rest of my life now. Greatest guard dog breed I have ever seen.
he has that Dane,fila type ,in my book a agile working molosser,nice t looking very close to the original killer hounds
I am from South Africa and personally own a Boerboel.. I can safely say that this is definitely not a pure bred Boerboel..👎
That was my first thought when I saw the dog.
Cross breed?
@@pgpg3496 yes true the real appearance of a boerboel is either pure muscle without any touch of agility and without any touch of obesity for the muscle type boerboel while the speed type boerboels should be a perfect blend of muscle and athletic(the appearance of a cane corso).This one is too skinny
I have a pure bred Boerboel from South Africa and my male looks way different that this dog , my dog is currently 200 pounds 96%TPI
god dman ZEKE you getting that suscriber game up.... ive been watching you now for a long time and your channel has to be the best... ive learned alot of about all these kool dog breeds... keep it up
That dog is superb. He is using his senses constantly and is so alert, calm and watchful. That’s one hell of a personal protection dog. Lucky Brad.
Excellent video, you summed up the boerboel perfectly. I live in south africa and grew up with these dogs. All the points youve mentioned are correct, these dogs are natural guard dogs with unequalled senses and excellent with all family members (including cat). Although your dog is much smaller than the bb people are use to seeing, this migh be the hound type bb which stands taller but is a bit skinnier.. Did i mention excellent video? Hahe
I'm a BB owner and agree with pretty much everything that's been said. thank you for the video
These dogs are insane, I had a neighbor in eastern san diego county who owned one and it killed an adult mountain lion on his property ripped it to shreds 100 ft from his back porch, dog needed well over 100 stitches and antibiotics but the cougar looked 10x worse
huge fan on your philosophy of what a proper guard dog should be, hyper vigilance is a great point and never looked at it that way until now
Damn Brad's Boerboel looks like he's got the shakes!! Haha
I have a Anatolian shepherd very similar disposition great protection dogs very protective over their owners both breeds are very awesome dogs
Rest In Peace Sabir. He Was A Great Dog. I Know Brad Is Hurt
The best quality dog channel
wow, I just gained a lot of knowledge about dogs only listening to what this guy has to say. Is there a documentary about Boerboel that I can pick it up? I'm an experienced owner and I'm getting one but I never owned a dog this size before, only Boxers and German Shepard.
For you SIZE QUEENS I have had the pleasure of spending time with Sabir when he was with Tashi and there is nothing small about him (this includes his bone, head and girth). I am close to 5'7 and his back hit me right below my hip bone. It should be more about the functionality of the dog instead of what you perceive as a "small boerboel". Do any of you all know what it feels like to have a dog of this size running at you then slamming it's mass into you? That's a lot of dog! This is a dog in good condition not 25/30lbs overweight like most boerboels. Brad, your doing a great job!! Keep it up! Sabir looks awesome!!
cj king - Awesome man, thanks!
cj king i disagree. He's waay too tall for a true boerboel. Unless brad is 5'2", that dog is waaay too tall and too thin, i,e bone structure.
Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin i agree. That is not a true bb.
Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin. You're totally right. My boy is 13 months old, and 135 lbs ripped. And he will fill out til 3.5 years roughly, so will be up round 180lbs. And as you know, long bone growth slows right down at 14 months. That thing in the video looks like a greyhound x breed. Mind you, over there everythings a pitbull!! Well, unless it's a boerboel. Ahahahahah
Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin lol, tell me about it. Mine's running rimgs around me, at 14 months old!!!! God only know what he'll weigh once full grown. He's over 60 kg ripped!!! And im holding back food to keep his hips from being overloaded at a young age.
Really handsome dog. Exactly the kind of dog I'd like, but not too aggressive. Thanks for such a great video!
No expert, but that doesn’t look like one...
It’s a working boerboel.
I just discovered your channel and thank you so much for the work that you do, these videos are amazing!!! I am from South Africa so this video interested me quite a bit too.
Keep em coming.
your videos are the best mann!! love form the uk!!
I concur, this is a very slim looking Boerboel.
How many dogs does Brad have??
Too many! :P
Hey Brad, nice dog there more athletic looking than many of Boerboels i have seen before. Are there any breeds you dont have you hope to add to your kennel?
PantherCrane check his blog
Thank you. Sabir, my Boerboel, is more "boerhound" in type. The show fancy and appraisal people seem to prefer the wider and shorter dogs now. I prefer a rangy dog, better heat tolerance and performance.
Anyway, I'm a moving target when it comes to breed interest. So I can't really say there's a specific breed I'm looking for. For me it's more about the dog than the breed, like the fact Sabir is a Boerboel doesn't mean too much to me. He's a good dog. A good dog is a good dog, and their remarkably hard to find nowadays.
I'm moving away from the larger dogs, looking at replacing many of my large hunting dogs for smaller breeds like the jagdterrier. I love the big dogs, but I think it's time for me to move away from them so I can dedicate more time to my family.
Brad Anderson hey brad just wondering I have a Caucasian now and I'm fine with him but after my Caucasian I'm thinking about getting a boerboel would you say there are huge differences looking after these breeds and your dogs are stunning by the way can tell they are looked after 👍
Thanks for another great video Zeke. It's like Christmas morning when I see another one loaded up!! I have a rescue Boerboel and there's a lot of similarities to what Brad was saying. A lot of the Boerboels in Southern Africa are bred purely to protect/ guard and not for the proper stable Boerboel temperament, the dogs then end up being on edge every time a mouse farts 2 miles away!!
What a wonderful environment to walk your dog. :)
I'll be straight. I do not own a BB. That being said, I do not own a Ferrari either. But I know what a real one looks like.
As a South African Boer I screech every time I hear you pronounce Boerboel. That being said you should get a Rodeshian Ridghback or Riffrug as we call them.
Yes, I want this dog 🐶🙂
I usually really enjoy brindled dogs but I think prefer that classic solid red or tan that these SA mastiffs seem to come in.
That's a beautiful dog. Hopefully one day I'll have the pleasure of training one.
Really beautiful dog.
Great looking dog. I love the boerboels. I have a boxer/ American bulldog mix now ( 120 lbs ) and I'm considering this breed next. I'm very active with my dog, runs in the trails, surf while he's in the water playing. I wish my dog was an actual breed so I could get the imposing yet rational, big but athletic, predictability again. Not sure how socialized I can expect a boerboel to be
Man, a good dog is where you find it. Your dogs sounds awesome, don't knock him for being a cross! Some of the best dogs I've owned have been crossed. :)
Not a knock on him, just can't reproduce him lol. Did a DNA test and his mom is pure boxer, but his dad was AMB with a 12% blue tick hound. If I could I'd keep him forever
Anyone who surfs (dogs included), are cool in my book.
this guy has an awesome life....👍👍
Pulkit Channan
So if you can't control your own emotion, don't make the mistake of trying to keep one of these critters under control. Gotcha!
There is no other breed like them, RIP Cassius. Perfect description of breed.
Beautiful dog, any reason as to why his back leg is very shaky?
Waheed Hussain - Yes, he's was a little over excited about Zeke and the crew being there.
My boerboel is exactly what I wanted. hes strong athletic and dodding. He literally dodes over my six year old daughter. Constantly checking on her. Browsing the perimeter. He's always looking out the windows. He dodes over the cat as well. It's odd but he loves the cat. Very obedient toward me though. He is my dog 100%.
4 years later. Has your Boerboel been a good dog over the years. I have a six and eight year old and want to make sure he'll love the kids and ALWAYS be good to them.
Great video, as always! Very informative.
One vídeo after the other, can't live without this channel anymore. #Brasil
What's good homie much respect from killa Cali 👌
That’s a fit boerboel, good for working. Most boerboel stuff these days are just too big, better for show but can’t work for crap.
hey my names brad and i just got my new boerboel and im really excited with my new boerboel
That looks nothing like a good breed boerboel!!
Tashi is the girl! I remember her from years ago! Back in 2006 or so. She knows her stuff! BTW Gorgeous Boerboel!! I wouldn't mind having one.
UzeHerName - thanks!
If thats what she's breeding...ahe dont know a good boerboel from a shit one...
Beautiful dog. I'm thinking of getting one as a playmate for my ridgeback.
Thank you, for your video. A dog is a mans best friend. Boerboel's are a recognized breed. I've enjoyed the story of boerboel's for years, and I liked you're video.
My perfect image of a male Boerboel is a heavy set wide head, stocky thick legged, around 80-100kg red in colour, calm temperament, agile, aggressive wen needed. This dog doesn’t seem to be any of these things, which is cool but not a good example of the Boerboel imo.
MADMANB68 exactly this is not even a Borboel all the Borboels I’ve seen are giants the females are like 160 pounds this is a mutt I believe
Sorry to break your bubble but that's how boerboels are supposed to be. Those 200lb-90kg are the mutts. I suggest you check some pictures of early boerboel examples. Biggest is not always better
Very good video..
It clearly looks that he loves boerboels 💪💪💪
Keep it up the hard work man
He says it so wrong. It is pronounced boo-rrr-bull. Not boar-bell
A Boerboel with a little Great Dane in the mix.
Cool and perceptive
What do you need protection from?
This is not a proper boerboel either, looks like a greyhound it's that scrawny.
Threats. Generally you need protection from threats.
You need protection if you live in SA
This guy makes saying "uhm" sound like a bullfrog
Great life. Great video. Majestic breed. Thanks. PS : You have the potential to produce animal documentaries.
Grew up in Ghana with PLENTY of big beats. It's funny when I see these people talk about (not everybody can control this dog) lol. You wouldn't know how to handle a real beast if you one mate
This guy knows his stuff. Thank you for posting this.
the guy who loves "handler hard" dogs again
attitude reflects leadership. Just like leadership reflects the attitude of a dog.
So true, I hope you have good shoulders. Nice
Long Live The King Sabir! Rest easy baby boy, forever in our hearts 💔.
You're observation is pretty right on about the breed. I liked the video.
Love my Boerboel! He is such a love!
This guy's voice, sounds like he's making a gurgling noise to make it sound darker. Nice dog :)
Brad another very interesting video , is it difficult to socialize this breed? Is this a dog when guests / friends come over it is locked up like the Caucasian Ovcharka? Sounds like an intelligent breed. Thanks
Brad??yup lol i typed that before it even started lmaoo
why are the back legs twitching
Beautiful dog
Good information thanks
Very informative. I am considering this breed to live with me in the country for protection. I have owned Boxers, Dobermans, and American Bulldogs. So far I like what I see, but further research is needed. I hope I find someone like you or the lady you mentioned to buy from and talk to about the breed.
Love the video!! Please do another Bullmastiff video!!
damn how many dogs does this guy have?!?!?
This dude got every breed I swear
Looks likes he has a lot of Rhodesian Ridgeback in him.
That is not a boerboel. It is much too long legged, racy and narrow. This animal doesn’t even look like a 50/50 cross between a boerboel and another breed. It looks like it has at least 3 breeds in it’s immediate ancestry. What a crock of a video.
Love how is has that athletic body
You should Interview Tashi at Dichotomy Boerboels She knows Tons about dogs, very few people knows as much about guard dogs as she does!
Agreed!
I think he is right. So many times ...many times...guys think that a good protection dog is a huge overly aggressive dog that is overly protective. A dog that won't out on command is what I see a lot of with these types.
That doesn't look like a pure bred I grew up with these dogs and that isn't a pure bred
beautiful dog!
Most of the comments here are like: "ah! that's skinny / I am from zouth afrika and that-z not a boorbuul / that's not a pure-bred dog / bla bla bla"
read the title: "BOERBOEL A SOUTH AFRICAN MASTIFF TRAINED FOR CIVIL AGGRESSION"
I have looked around for a Boerboel that meets the standard... but then one has to find on who's standar!? AKC's, SAAB's, European's, Russian's?
95% of the Boerboels of Africa and maybe the world are bred to be guard dogs and many show dogs.
This line, for civil aggression, is focusing of self protection dogs which have to be both balanced mentally and athletic in order to be functional, why the "lankiness"... and even like this, it's much more healthier structure wise than those weighing 180lb and above.
It's like the German Shepherd, go find a GS working line and the show line, are both so different and the healthiest is the working line. Why can't it happen with the Boerboel too?
He has a lot of aggressive dogs. Is he in the mob? Lmao
Great video! Does Toshy have a website? I would like to check her Boerboels out!
www . dichotomyboerboels . com
Hope that Toshy gets her website together soon, I want a PP dog, I now have a 7 month old female Presa, she is showing some guarding, but won't be sure till another few months, I wanted another Presa but I'm not sure, I've only found 1 breeder who does imprinting for Presa's. this is my first dog, and we're moving from the city to rural setting w/33 acres, very soon.
Websites aren't Tashi's strongest area, unfortunately. ;) Working dogs is!
Also feel free to look up her dogs on OFA's Database for Health Testing under the kennel name "Dichotomy". She also tests for HUU, although those results aren't reflected on the OFA site. Dichotomy has more health tested dogs than any other breeder -she even tests non-breeding dogs!
BattleGround One your so lucky I cant to move into the country it's good you got a presa great guardians
How do you not know your dogs age?? 🤔 unless you rescued him from a shelter ,you should definitely know!
i have a presa x quarter douge de bordeaux,, rangy like your boerboel,, and would do the same job ,, he moves like lightning to ,,, proper working mastif ,, dosent miss a thing ,,
Your boerboel does have some slender attributes though. My Jackies very solid and broad shouldered and his face is much wider.
Your dog has a problem with his left hind leg. He has a gait problem. The muscles in that left hing legs should not be twitching like that. You might want to see a vet.
So happy to see the full tail
Don't like cut tails
Hello. Could you do a video on the Dachshund Working Type ?
A brindle boerboel, thats kak man & thats a mutt, Im South African ive got a. 73 kg male boerboel
Wife and I like the ‘big fellas’
His Boerboel looks like a Ridgeback from the side. You can see how breeders are changing the breed for personal protection. Not good ruining breed.
It's unfortunate that people often get dogs without realizing the responsibility that goes along with it. These large dogs can be troublesome if not trained/ integrated with your family. Its way more than feeding them and taking them to the vet. Also people do not realize that there are major differences in breeds and some dogs are bread to have a lot of energy and they need to get that energy out... with play/training etc... I have an Alaskan Malamute and this is a pretty hefty task just for him lol so don't go off buying dogs you think look cool etc... because they are much like children in that they need stimulation and learning etc.. to become a functioning member of your household.
Thank you for the voice of reason. Too many innocent creatures wind up dead because people liked the look.
