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.

The most lanky Boerboel I've ever seen

[@jadendaniel2379]

Must be a working dog

[@rejanepetersen1046]

I'm south African and prefer the 'lankier' dogs for work. The studier dogs are more for show. Brandy could jump 2m fences

[@carsonthiel9397]

You spelled “well bred” wrong

[@bigboyhova]

Looks like a mastiff mix not a pure boerbull.

[@thefireplacekennels]

@@carsonthiel9397 negative

[@wuspoppinmayne4364]

Breeding for performance creates a much better looking dog.

[@andrewgeier83]

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

[@animalobsessed1]

After living in South Africa for 6 years, I saw my first brindle Boerboel AFTER leaving the country. I find that interesting.

[@jevonshepherd9214]

that's the most skinniest small headed grown male Boerboel I've seen

[@OldDecoy3]

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.

[@timothygarycarolus1018]

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).

[@hunterdolgener5634]

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)

[@hunterdolgener5634]

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)...

[@hunterdolgener5634]

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

[@benm4903]

He is so lucky to own all theses handsome dogs good job on the video keep up the hard work

[@DogumentaryTV]

Yeah he has a great life!

[@viktordewaele8622]

another boerboel video! yeah boy!

[@joycejudd5109]

what a beautiful animal. thank you for the great explanation of the difference between true civil aggressive dogs and 'fearful' dogs.

[@zackgounden7802]

I am from South Africa and personally own a Boerboel.. I can safely say that this is definitely not a pure bred Boerboel..👎

[@pgpg3496]

That was my first thought when I saw the dog.

[@jessetemeng6350]

Cross breed?

[@tonyojiambo3556]

​@@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

[@JJ-ny9jj]

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

[@abscrete]

Nice Brad, feels good to look at Sabir, Tashi and yourself, get some recognition on all those years of hard work. Congrats!

[@leetgif]

No expert, but that doesn’t look like one...

[@Tootisepop]

It’s a working boerboel.

[@Ripplie]

This BB looks like a mix with a Great Dane

[@patches6309]

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.

[@lukepalmer4733]

I'm a BB owner and agree with pretty much everything that's been said. thank you for the video

[@woodsandassociates7077]

Rest In Peace Sabir. He Was A Great Dog. I Know Brad Is Hurt

[@KravMagaKitchener]

I concur, this is a very slim looking Boerboel.

[@HipHopAintDead718]

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

[@celltanic]

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

[@americangraffiti6192]

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.

[@cjking3415]

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!!

[@BradA1878]

cj king - Awesome man, thanks!

[@Drquimbaymatumbo]

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.

[@Drquimbaymatumbo]

Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin i agree. That is not a true bb.

[@Drquimbaymatumbo]

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

[@Drquimbaymatumbo]

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.

What a wonderful environment to walk your dog. :)

[@azdesertrider]

I have a Anatolian shepherd very similar disposition great protection dogs very protective over their owners both breeds are very awesome dogs

[@PantherCrane]

How many dogs does Brad have??

[@BradA1878]

Too many! :P

[@affiliate13]

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?

[@ouroboros7917]

PantherCrane check his blog

[@BradA1878]

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.

[@boatsandhoes3493]

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 👍

[@thenaturebro]

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.

[@LPSpooks]

Damn Brad's Boerboel looks like he's got the shakes!! Haha

[@perodenero]

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.

[@anthonywarren1845]

That looks nothing like a good breed boerboel!!

[@kelvinedsts4352]

One vídeo after the other, can't live without this channel anymore. #Brasil

[@kinggeezy179]

What's good homie much respect from killa Cali 👌

[@scottalbers2518]

Really handsome dog. Exactly the kind of dog I'd like, but not too aggressive. Thanks for such a great video!

[@dlsheaffer84]

There is no other breed like them, RIP Cassius. Perfect description of breed.

[@jimmyt5951]

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!!

[@izzysmomtattoos8274]

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%.

[@cryptojunkies3619]

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.

[@localinhaler]

why are the back legs twitching

[@branmichaluk445]

A Boerboel with a little Great Dane in the mix.

[@francoiswilliams]

Cool and perceptive

[@anyamarais5504]

He says it so wrong. It is pronounced boo-rrr-bull. Not boar-bell

[@youllmakeit]

Long Live The King Sabir! Rest easy baby boy, forever in our hearts 💔.

[@wazh5943]

Beautiful dog, any reason as to why his back leg is very shaky?

[@BradA1878]

Waheed Hussain - Yes, he's was a little over excited about Zeke and the crew being there.

[@MADMANB68]

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.

[@selfmadezay7403]

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

[@mparmpakakis]

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

[@skywalker214tx]

the guy who loves "handler hard" dogs again

[@solesk01]

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

[@BradA1878]

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. :)

[@solesk01]

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

[@BradA1878]

Anyone who surfs (dogs included), are cool in my book.

[@bh-0330]

attitude reflects leadership. Just like leadership reflects the attitude of a dog.

[@Acadian.FrenchFry]

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.

[@BradA1878]

UzeHerName - thanks!

[@Drquimbaymatumbo]

If thats what she's breeding...ahe dont know a good boerboel from a shit one...

[@zerok4222]

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.

[@DreamHustleRecords]

This dude got every breed I swear

[@aiyalidat]

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.

[@SILENTIMACT74]

This guy knows his stuff. Thank you for posting this.

[@devilnite9]

Great video, as always! Very informative.

[@kwamebushman606]

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

Love my Boerboel! He is such a love!

[@eezeegeezaa]

So true, I hope you have good shoulders. Nice

[@casinocashhsac1951]

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.

[@semper7717]

Beautiful dog. I'm thinking of getting one as a playmate for my ridgeback.

[@genecoppola4420]

What do you need protection from?

[@tynanroyhiggins]

This is not a proper boerboel either, looks like a greyhound it's that scrawny.

[@xeftones]

Threats. Generally you need protection from threats.

[@tidepodmusical4173]

You need protection if you live in SA

[@markstallings3675]

He looks like the hound type.

[@hmtmth8481]

Great life. Great video. Majestic breed. Thanks. PS : You have the potential to produce animal documentaries.

[@kamohahe]

This guy's voice, sounds like he's making a gurgling noise to make it sound darker. Nice dog :)

[@jessiegarcia8979]

You're observation is pretty right on about the breed. I liked the video.

[@abscrete]

You should Interview Tashi at Dichotomy Boerboels She knows Tons about dogs, very few people knows as much about guard dogs as she does!

[@BradA1878]

Agreed!

[@allmanslife8482]

So happy to see the full tail Don't like cut tails

[@sandraclemmer2220]

How do you not know your dogs age?? 🤔 unless you rescued him from a shelter ,you should definitely know!

[@HipHopAintDead718]

beautiful dog!

[@joet.3091]

Handsome dog

[@freecheese4143]

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.

[@Reignunlimited]

Sabir is small boned.. Small narrow head. Should be more muscle bound.

[@geewhiz2582]

Boerboel looks underweight bt what do i knw only from south africa and owner of 2 boerboels

so nice to see one of these videos without the ears and tails being cropped

Love the video!! Please do another Bullmastiff video!!

[@jaimegonzalez8515]

Brad??yup lol i typed that before it even started lmaoo

[@marklafollett6266]

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.

[@ljo6657]

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.

[@jhaievincentsavage9976]

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 ,,

[@jimnowak3960]

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.

[@niuebelle1518]

Why is the dog shaking?

[@izzysmomtattoos8274]

Your boerboel does have some slender attributes though. My Jackies very solid and broad shouldered and his face is much wider.

[@ajgarcia5883]

That’s no BoerBoel!

[@andresvida95]

It is a real working boerboel. Sorry but any tosa inu or boerboel approaching 80-90 kgs is an overbred mastiff with too many health issues due to excessive selection and weight

[@darrondelange5403]

A brindle boerboel, thats kak man & thats a mutt, Im South African ive got a. 73 kg male boerboel

[@XclusiveSNAKES]

Great video! Does Toshy have a website? I would like to check her Boerboels out!

[@BradA1878]

www . dichotomyboerboels . com

[@battlegroundone]

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.

[@OldDecoy3]

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!

[@followerofgms8294]

BattleGround One your so lucky I cant to move into the country it's good you got a presa great guardians

[@yashvashistha7804]

This doesn't look like a pure bred boerboel. It's looking more like a mastiff. Boerboel aren't that tall and lean.

[@richardallen7466]

[@Unruly6ixx]

He looks like one of those long legged Boerboels

[@MS-we4wi]

Yeah, looks more athletic and healthy than most.

[@Graveyard_Ari97]

I work at a dog daycare and we had one board his name was Worf

[@utkarshpandey2231]

For a Boerboel isn't he a little skinny

[@codemiesterbeats]

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.
