WHY A BOERBOEL?  
THE BOERBOEL AS A FAMILY COMPANION/GUARDIAN

The Boerboel is specifically bred to guard and protect.
A cranky, temperamental dog that stays surly after being reprimanded, is not a Boerboel.

You should purchase a Boerboel for their even character.
   This was and always should be their main quality.
Your Boerboel should qualify themselves as your best friend.
They should know what you are thinking, when you feel threatened.
They should know when your approve or disapprove of a stranger and share your feelings.
They should, with a growl, be able to tell you: "I'm here, always. I will guard you.


    The Boerboel is definitely a child's friend and playmate.                   
    They do not only accept one person as their master,                      
    but accepts the role of guardian for the whole family.
