Barbarian Boerboels - The 200lb ‘Dogs Of War’ | BIG DOGZ

[@laurentodd2701]

Update on Ace - I have gotten him involved in playing some of the games kzbin.infoUgkx1_veP7CApJK_GWy_TczaMciuG64PqJeU and I can see a difference in his confidence already! My other dog played along and he became intrigued - now its a daily part of our routine - about 3 times a day we do the shell game and the muffin tin game. I am so grateful for coming upon your training techniques!

[@smcardiac]

I have one. They call them velcro dogs. They feel their main duty is to protect their loved ones. He sleeps by my bed, sits right next to me on the couch, and is laying by the door when I come home. Excellent temperament. Doesn't bark much. He knows who he is. He will let a person know if he senses something he doesn't like in them. And yes they can be stubborn as 10 mules when they want to. I've had 3 Rottweilers and 2 English Mastiffs which I loved. But I will never own any other dog but a Boerboel.

[@air-drive]

I grew up with Boerboels they are a South African breed that were bred for their menacing looks and ability to protect cattle from predators hundreds of years ago. They have changed over the years to cater for the pet trade but some farmers still got them for protection inside their homes. A dog that size will keep an intruder busy long enough for you to get hold of a gun. I saw a Boerboel take down a Hyena in a few seconds and trust me there is no dog that will even contemplate getting into a argument with a hyena.

Ive had dogs all my life and am in my 40’s. A mate had a Boerboel pup and i have to say, at 11 wks old that pup made a bigger impression on me than any dog ive ever had or met before. They 100% have a special “thing” about them. Gorgeous dogs

I personally prefer more agile boerboels, in which the males are around 130-160lbs. Boerboels were bred on the farm to work all day with the family. I question how long these dogs can work. Bigger isn't always better.

[@lawlessfarming9878]

As a south african farmer i must say,this has always been my favorite dog breed. i have owned 4 in my life time. You should just make sure to socialize and train them well as they are naturally a stubborn,protective and a dominant breed , specially if they have piercing yellow eyes(according to what i have experienced). A friend of mine had to put down his boerboel due to it being to aggresive towards anyone who wasnt part of their house hold(and the only thing it did wrong is that it wanted to keep his family safe from people he didnt know or trust).....its very sad. So before getting one, please do your research as they can get very possessive and protective over their owners and they would sometimes attack other members of the family if they get to close to the person they like the most. I can also say that they get even bigger than the dogs shown in the video...depending on the breeder. My biggest dog was 93kg(205lb) and didnt look like he had an ounce of fat. They are the most beautiful and loyal dogs if you do your research and give them enough of your time.

[@fantomnite2528]

100% agree with what u say. This is an extremely dominant breed that needs a strong and firm leader. Not a dog for everyone.

Males weigh 70-80 kgs but have a mutch better temprement and dont have the light yellow eyes"dont know if its just me but i find that boerboels with light yellow eyes tend to be more agressive(protective,jelous).what area are u from

[@tuffybaxton6162]

So this isn't a dog for single female working 8hrs?

[@lawlessfarming9878]

@@tuffybaxton6162 i would not recommend a male boerboel if you are a single female as they can be very dominant and stubborn. Specially if they see you as "their" female. No one would be allowed to enter your house or control him if he doesnt have a dominant"alpha" figure in your home. Im not being sexist but in my experience most "untrained" females are not physically able to handle these dogs on their own. If you want a boerboel, you should get a female dog, they are not as dominant and far less stuborn.

[@adamroodog1718]

Word1ist. Alexander the great had a Boerboel? Citation needed. I do know the story your talking about but theres no Boerboels in it Here i'll even help you. The only surviving accout of Alexanders life is called 'the anabasis of alexander' written by arrian. He also has the treatise 'on coursing' which is close to my heart and strangely enough had alot of the rules about hunting with dogs my grandfather taught me, not bad for a 1800+ year old book. But i digress. Arrian wasnt an eyewitness to alexander's life, he lived around 450 years later, but took the surviving books that were by eyewitness's and wrote up the bits that to him, sounded like the truth or were attested to in multiple sources.

@@adamroodog1718 History of the Boerboel Source: Anemarí Pretorius (The Boerboel - South Africa’s own (2007)) Date: 7 April 2007 Someone once told me that they had read in some dictionary or other that the boelpart of the name Boerboel means a lot of dog. I was unfortunately unable to trace this particular definition, but if I were to create my own dictionary I am almost positive that this would be my description as well, only more so. According to the 1987 edition of the Verklarende Handwoordeboek van die Afrikaanse taalthe meaning of the word Boerboel is given as a farm dog of uncertain origin. This is most certainly no longer true, as I am sure you will acknowledge once you have read through this chapter. According to information portrayed in the Syrian rooms of the renowned British Museum in London,two Assyrian kings, Asarhaddon and Ashurbani-pal, were already using large dogs to hunt wildHorses and lions in the 7th century before the coming of Christ. The stories depicted by these murals in the museum’s displays show that the Syrian dogs were much bigger and heavier than the dog breeds we are familiar with today. The author, Darwin, also makes mention of a large dog being shown on the grave of King Asarhaddon’s son, which dates back to the year 640 BC. In one of Philemon Holland’s works, translated from Pliny’s Natural History, 1601, there are several references to prominent persons who used large dogs for various purposes. For instance, a Germanic king who returned from exile used 200 dogges to reconquer his dominion. Reference is also made to the Cimbrians who used dogges to guard their belongings whilst they where engaged in bloody battles. In the same document reference is also made to the King of Albania giving Alexander the Great the gift of a dog. Alexander was very impressed with this giant animal, until he tried to use it to hunt bears, wild boar and deer - the dog did not show the least bit of interest or inclination to participate in any way. Alexander the Great, mighty king and conqueror, was livid at the dog’s “laziness” and subsequently had it destroyed. On hearing this news, the King of Albania immediately sent a replacement dog to Alexander with the instruction: “Do not waste the dog’s time with minor things.Give him a lion or an elephant to fight.” The story goes that Alexander first pitted the dog against a lion, and the lion’s back was broken within seconds of the fight starting. An elephant was next. In a panic it tried to evade the dog’s continuousattacks and ended up falling to its death down an embankment. Other narratives of dogs killing lions are to be found in the writings of Megasthenes, Aelien, Diodorus,Siculus, Strabo and Plutarch. A monk in the service of King Louis IX of France describes (in hisTravels of William de Rubruquis) how enormous the dogs of Albania were - large enough to fight against lions and bulls, and even large enough to be harnessed like oxen in front of wagons. These dogs of Syria and Albania were eventually introduced as far afield as modern Europe, the Far- andMiddle East and the British Isles. Various documents explain the origins of today’s modern breeds from these ancient dogs - from a time well before the coming of Christ. The Canis Molossus (during the time of the Roman Empire) played an important part in the derivation of modern large breeds. The activities of the Romans resulted in the importation of these dogs to the British Isles. However, there are major differences of opinion about the order of events. Some authors are of the opinion that the Romans took this Canis Molossus to the British Isles, whilst others maintain that the Romans took some English dogs back with them to Europe. Both these claims could well be valid. Various documents also report on trade that took place between the East and the West and, of course, the British Isles. In time, our very own Cape of Good Hope inevitably became a very important sea route for trade purposes. As we have all learnt in our history lessons at school, the Verenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie (Dutch East India Company) sent Jan van Riebeeck to establish a trading post at the southern tip of Africa. On arrival in the Cape in 1652, his trustyBullenbijter was at his side. This was a big, strong Mastiff Type breed. (Strangely enough, the bilingual dictionary of Bosman, Van der Merwe and Hiemstra,1999, indicates that the termMastiff means, amongst other things,Boerboel and bul(le)byter - biter of bulls.) The colonists that followed Van Riebeeck to the Cape also brought their biggest and strongest dogs with them, and over time only the toughest of these survived this new, harsh and rugged land of ours. With the arrival of the British Settlers in 1820, the Bulldog and another Mastiff-type dog were also introduced, amongst many others. It should be noted that the true Bull Mastiff was only imported to South Africa in 1928, by De Beers, to be guard dogs on the diamond mines. It is told that after the Anglo-Boer War in 1902, these various dog breeds were crossbred with the English long-legged Bulldog, and subsequently also with the Bull Mastiff in the late 1940’s and early 1950’s. At this point in the history of the Boerboel breed, most people would like to end the story because part of the further history includes the crossbreeding of the colonists’ large dogs with the dogs (mongrels) of the black inhabitants of Africa. But, truth be told, this is how the Boerboel, as found on countless farms and which later trekked north with the Great Trek, originated. There is, however, also some interesting information available that gives rise to alternative viewpoints regarding the Boerboel’s origins. A well-known writer, E.C. Ash, claims that there is evidence ofmassive dogs with Mastiff-like appearance that existed during ancient Egyptian times. Ash maintains that one illustration dates as far back as 2000 BC. During the time of Kings Saul, David and Solomon,Tirus was King of Phoenicia. At this stage, a very busy trade existed between, amongst others, Syria,Persia and King Solomon. All these snippets of information seem not to mean much - until one reads the following ... the King of Persia, Artaxerxes Memnon, had a private doctor in his court who was very well read and well travelled. This doctor wrote that a barbaric tribe in the south of Ethiopia (known as the Cynomones)had dogs described as Indian dogs, which were descendants of the Babylonian dog. These dogs were considered a tradeable commodity and were described as big and strong - the size of Hyrcanians and suitable for fighting lions. Pliny’s Natural History also refers to them, but confuses them with Cynocephali. The Cynomones bred large numbers of these dogs to use for hunting, as well as to act as a means of diverting the hordes of wildebeest that would often destroy the tribe’s simple shelters and otherpossessions in their passage and stampedes during the late-summer migrations. The Cynomones also used to milk their bitches, just like other tribes milked their cattle and goats - hence the name Cynomolgi (dog milkers). This information is supported by writings of Diodorus, Siculus, Aelian and Polydeuktes. Aristotle also wrote some fascinating things about this Indian dog. He said they were a cross between a dog and a tiger, and man could only start using the third generation of this crossbreed becauseearlier generations were too aggressive. When on heat, bitches were tied up in remote places, but many of them were eaten if the tigers did not feel like covering the females. It is noteworthy that Plinyrepeats this selfsame information. Today, of course, we believe that it is impossible to cross a dog with a tiger. According to Aristotle, the breeders of these dogs made the most of such stories for “advertising and marketing” purposes. Nevertheless the Indian dog was grey or brindle. Makes one think, doesn’t it? Further proof of the Indian dog can be found in documents stemming from the time of the then King of Persia, Darius

Its in their DNA. Prior to bullmastiff, English bulldog, dogue de Bordeaux, alaunt, em, neopolitian, great dane all being bred down to the show dog standards of today, they were once working dogs (i.e. guard, hunting, catch, attack work). Boerboel breeders picked only the best of the best at a time when the breeds mentioned were still in a true working class. Hence, besides the Presa, dogo, and Rottweiler, the Boerboel is the last true remaining working class mastiff type dog. Excluding all eastern breeds like boz, cao, co, tm, and bully kutta, of course.

I live in South Africa, I have a Boerboel that works for his food and water. I can assure you this is real Boerboels in this video. The breeders seem to be breeding for massive size. With more exercise these Boerboels would look abit leaner and muscle will be more visible. However Boerboels in general is known for their large size and strength even in South Africa where the dogs is commonly found on farms or guarding homes There is atleast 5 different types of Boerboels each line is better suited to certain types of work. Some lines is bigger and heavier with shorter stocky legs some lines has longer legs, more defined muscle more athletic etc. Some lines is more protective. Just depending what the farmer, security company wants or what the show ring wants there are more variety in Boerboels than in other breeds of dogs that is more standardized.

[@la7era1u54]

The South African Boerboel is much more independent and much less clingy than the American dogs. In S. Africa they are still bred for guarding the whole farm independently so they have less attachment to their owners. It's amazing how different you can change a dog's line within such a small number of generations, considering how recent the breed's arrival to the US has been. These US dogs are beautiful and make great pet's if their owner is not a pushover. Strong breeds need strong owners. This can lead to a very bad outcome if this breed is allowed to do whatever it pleases. They are not meant for every one. Owners need to have experience with powerful breed dogs or must be completely committed to learning from a professional

He was crossed with other dogs of European origin, but also local breeds. The Boerbull has mainly been used as a farm dog, with the mission of protecting the herds and the structure itself from wild predators.

Cause the last line covers your answer..and yes i dont own one NOW, neither do i own my Corso anymore...both have passed...but thankyou for your reply...neither are "new" breeds, so yes there are people out there that have owned both before it became fashionable..

These dogs seem to get along well with one another and look really obedient, but if these 200lb dogs ever got into a serious fight how would you be able to stop them

These are beautiful animals, the only thing I don't like is the spit flying everywhere

[@EricOWilliam]

I was thinking💭🤔the same thing

[@chettiarsbc6592]

I'm S African and had this breed as a pet and family guardian but not all boerbulls are droolers some a little and some a lot it differs from breeders to breeders.

Beautiful Dogs.. Love my Boerboel as well. When I am ready to buy another one I will definitely look you guys up. I currently have an 8 year old male pet and have absolutely fallen in love with the breed. Thanks for posting and sharing your gorgeous dogs with the world.
