Dogumentary TV is killing it with these videos, they just keep getting better and better, the quality and work put in on these productions is amazing, I am taking a lot of inspiration from you dude, I just started a small channel for my bullies and frenchies and for sure am keeping an eye on your videos to show me how its done dude. Subbed, recommended your channel on mine and I hit that alarm bell. . Defo one of the top channels on youtube. Keep up the good work.
That is exactly what is happening as we speak!!!!! I can see you have the chance to see what a real boerboel is about!!! I respect what you said Blue Marvel!!! Boerboels are real gaurd dogs, I fear the American bloodlines especially in the show ring will completely destroy this breed. Where I live we have hyenas,lions and groups of thugs armed with guns coming on our property. The only reason I'm alive is because of my boerboels
It’s too late! The American show ring and now show line dogs have already changed the way the dog looks. I’ve only been involved with the breed for the last 10 years and within the past 5 I have seen a change in confirmation and not for the better! It’s sad.... Males have become way too big to do anything physical...
My question is these breeds have been around for a long time and the AKC just took them in.. who gives them the right to give a standard on a dog that they just recognized?
They are giving "their standard".....not "the standard"! The dog supposedly comes from south Africa. So I would say some, south African organization should own the standard. Typical of Americans......if I was to own this breed, mine would be imported from south Africa than you..
@@kennethsmith7002 I understand the difference between the two but if they want to preserve the breed. Then they should educate how they are kept from where they come from and keep it going from there.. hence preservation of the breed of origin. To me that's the true definition of preserving a breed if that's they're real goal
@@SDF1982 Well, preservation of the breed may not be the ultimate goal of these organizations. Seems to me their goal is to change the breed to fit the standard that they develop. Not to say there is wrong in that. Perfect example...English Bulldog. Changed very much over the years. What happened to the original standard?
Just saw a Boerboel this weekend and was blown away by the gentleness of this breed. Temperament was amazing as my kids climbed all over this massive dog. Definitely will be purchasing one soon.
Thank you so much for this.. ive watched every boerboel clip u had and on RU-vid and this one really convinced me to get one but i want one that looks like a boerboel not a great dane face.. thx for everything u do..
Living with a boerboel- Follow all of the guidelines for training and care of any guardian/mastiff breed (early socialization, basic obedience, introducing strangers to the farm or home, etc.). Prepare to be sat on, stepped on, slept on top of, slobbered on. They’re perfect dogs for the right family. You do need to manage them around strangers or surprise guests. They want to defend your property. You shouldn’t own a boerboel if you don’t want or can’t manage that trait. Keep them on a leash around strange dogs or people. They’re not Labradors. That being said my properly trained and socialized bb is extremely gentle around babies, small children, elderly people. They very, very sensitive defenders of your family and property. I can take my bb on leash in public and he behaves perfectly around strangers. Zeke does have several other bb breed videos- search his channel. They’re an amazing breed for the right person.
Who else if from south Africa? 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦 Proud south African in the building!!!! The only breed that matters. I grew up with these dogs and I must say, they are very loving dogs 😍!!! I approve this message!!
While I'm no expert in the boerboel specifically, this is a more generalized response to all the comments on these videos on these types of breeds saying that the dogs are "not big enough". It is confusing to me; these are supposed to be working dogs, and dogs that are bred just to be massive lack the athleticism and stamina to do their job. Of course I don't appreciate what the show ring has done to some working breeds, like the German Shepherd and their deformed backs, but to say that the dogs are not correct simply because they are not massive and chunky is counterintuitive to what the breed needs to do their job... Not saying they should be delicate, but there is a reason for the type of athletic build that working line dogs have, that is neither extreme. I have no more respect for breeders trying to win a new record of biggest dog of their breed than I do for breeders who breed for any other impractical extreme. Working dogs especially need balance, and even people who love their dogs to be huge should recognize that. If you do want a huge dog just because it's your flex to have a huge dog, you do you, they are out there; but don't pretend that breeding for hugeness is what is best for the breed.
I have a 160 lb female Bb she has well over a 5ft vertical and moves like water. As long as you dont bulk them out young (this also bad for growth plates) they are amazingly athletic. Also in my experience as smart if not more then a most shepherds. Climb a ladder, open doors, high vocab recognition. Our little girl leaned to ring a bell, love her crate, 4 non verbal hand commands and 5 in Russian before she was 10 weeks. Check my channel if you want a visual.
@@publicbudcasting4478 I have nothing against healthy dogs that happen to be large, and I am not saying that all large dogs have issues :) I have a problem with the breeding for the primary purpose of hugeness, which is usually at the expense of soundness and health, and for bulking out dogs for the look. My point was not that dogs should not be over x amount of pounds, but that they shouldn't be bred with the goal of making them ever larger as some breeders do, but rather bred to be the healthiest they can be; and that the most massive dog isn't always the best breed example, even in these large breeds. Best of luck with your pup :)
You are wonderful! Thank you for sharing your immense knowledge about this extraordinary breed. My beautiful Boerboel, my big girl Dea, died suddenly and unexpectedly from Mast Cell Cancer 2 years ago. I am still crying every night. She was my best friend, and my family's guardian! She even protected me from danger 3 times, including a potential break-in. My darling took her last breaths in my arms, but what broke my heart the most was that she insisted on giving me "kisses." That is what love is. R.I.P. my darling Dea. I miss you, I love you, I wish so badly that you were still here with me.
I’m so sorry for your loss as I could never imagine losing something you love so so very much. Losing a dog is kind of like loosing a child as they have been in your arms since they were little. But rip Dea and sorry for your loss.
Best to get a Borboel from a Working Line and not a breeder that focuses specifically on "conformation." You want a "pretty statue" this may be the breeder for you; you want a working dog go to a breeder that works their dogs thus proving their true temperament.
They seem to have a very loose breed standard. It seems to allow working dogs to thrive without setting a clear divide between show and working dogs but still a very odd loose standard. Especially for it being recognized by the ridiculousness that is the AKC.
From looking at this video You can already see the difference between AKC dogs and traditional boerboels. The AKC dogs have longer legs, tighter flews and more angulation on their stifles. Further, the AKC restriction on Irish pied dogs is strange. Also, some of the breeds this woman mentioned that allegedly went into the creation of this breed are highly suspicious to me. The AKC and it’s followers have ALWAYS ruined the look and ability of breed after breed. There is no reason to believe that the boerboel would be any different. No. Thank you. I will stick to dogs from other registries.
I am South African living in California now. I am sorry to say but these dogs look NOTHING like the boerboels I was used to growing up. Don't know why these people get to dictate what the breed looks like if they dont know anything. This lady talks as if she is an expert but she has no clue what she is saying
Which other registries? I know SABBS for boerboels is good for them. Akc is like Kelly blue book for people who don't know what to look for... Kbb is how registries should be treated. Remember you heard it from workendog first!
The boerboel is a protected land race in South Africa , thus the SABBS was required by law to provide DNA evidence that Black Boerboels are in fact boerboels. The AKCs refusal to acknowledge black boerboels is sheer stubbornness and nothing to do with the betterment of the breed
Here early before the good and bad comments. I'm in a group on Facebook and kyle isn't liked by everyone in the boerboel community, but her dogs are awesome. #dogumentarytv
I used to see this lady by my old job walk one of these beautiful dogs on the westside of 72nd great looking dog and she was definitely the pack leader.
It's great seeing a woman being able to control a powerful breed but being realistic if something were to go down and the dog got ahold of another dog or person she would not be able to physically control the dog.
Good content bro 👍👍 luv how she explained the boerbole as a breed with the AKC and it's other clubs 👌 what she said about destroying the breed is exactly what's going on with the Am. Bully.... 🙏😔 👊😎
It's funny how specific we humans are about each dog breed and use biological traits to guide competition rules etc yet we can't agree what is a woman 😂
I had the boerboel in 98 we were some of the first people in the states to have the boerboel. They had yellow eyes they were extremely athletic big but not overly big. Black wasn’t a excepted color i kno all about the breed and have papers from 98
I had considered shipping one over from home, but this breeder actually knows what she is on about and and her dogs look very good indeed. Finding a genuine breeder is very difficult, but I’m grateful that I clicked on this. Thank you.
Great video :) Boerboels are awesome, I have a 10 month old black boerboel so I know they exist regardless of recognition of kennel clubs. She is currently weighing in at 45kg and is 23 inches at withers. She owns the sofa because her bed is too small already lol. Interestingly, she has quite brittle nails and is on a supplement to help. I wonder if other Boerboel owners have this issue or is it a random genetic throwback?
This won’t be the first breed standard the AKC absolutely destroys. I would never waste a cent on registering or competing my dogs with them. Absolute bunch of muppets!
@@porcoddiogesubastardo9669 there shouldn't be, a breed should be the same I'm the farm as it is in the show ring after all if we are showing them to admire their natural traits why do we change certain characteristics to suit the human eye?
What's up Zeke?? I missed this one. I don't give much thought to what the AKC thinks. Don't care about any club that restricts any color that was in a dog decades before the dog was in the club. But I'm not a show dog person anyway. The clubs seem to take a good dog then make it look the way they want it to look and call it the same dog. Don't drink the KOOKOOlayed. LOL!!
Yeah sorry but i can't help to intervene here. American Bulldog is not mixed in the breed i can tell you that (the most rediculous thing i ever heard about Boerboele). Secondly she hasn't got a clue when she calls em wardogs. At that time there was no such thing as the Boerboel as it is in current form. But hey, good promotional talk. Boerboels are not prone to many health problems unless you are linebreeding (inbreeding, normal for FCI or AKC dogs). This woman probably does linebreeding and is already making excuses to justify the health problems her dogs will have. Warning people against bad breeders when she clearly is one of em. Please get your ass to SA and see actual Boerboele m'am. You are gonna feel silly about this whole monologue after the visit.
Wow the American standard has it fucked up our dogs so much, she described the all the wrong aspects of how they should be. Shame and sad to hear from South Africa
For a very longtime Boerboel was the top of my list for a Service Dog because i fell in love with the breed . my family friend had two boerboels, and i adored them. i ended up deciding other breeds would be better for service work specifically. My top breeds are Dogo and Newfoundland - I have to Dogo is far above anyone else
Superb animals in the vid.! Totally a protector breed by the mannerism! I’ve had a good friendship with a few kangals and see similar instinct//learning watchmanship of their flock. The flock can be an active family with land , they need a lot of attention. And appreciate being told about your day.
The DNA results are being misinterpreted. American bulldogs didnt exist in their current form back then and neither did boxers. They are the closest living relatives of the dogs the DNA is reading. Those being the old white english and Spanish bulldog/iberian mastiffs
@@wargriffin5 bullenbeiser = spanish bulldog. Am bulldog have some bullenbeiser in them, but the original white english was a separate bulldog strain. Look the up mastiffs from the iberian peninsula. All those dogs have a common ancestor
No one with common sense can say that it will be ruined just because other breeds have there are breeds that are the same way the have been no one can say that
The reason for black boerboels not being accepted is that the black(k gene) is dominant in boerboels. So if black dogs ard allowed to breed, the other colours wil disappear. Please help us to preserve this beatiful dog race. Much love from south africa
Boerboel and the South African Mastiff are now two different breeds. South African Mastiff is a trademark by the Ysterberg group of breeders in South Africa.
I dont like it when they start going on about this should be 9/10 of this and not more than 27” BS. Form should follow function, not the other way around. I don’t believe in such strict physical standards
So you dont understand what creating and maintaining a breed which have to serve particular purpose means. Inches above clearly indicate influx of foreign to the breed genetics. If you follow your own logic there will be no breeds to enjoy whatsoever, not to mentioned the incredible love, devotion and decades of hard highly sophisticate work to create a breed.For those particular dogs the "folks" rejecting the "black boerboels" as representing the breed are absolutely right, the lady in this video is projecting big time describing them as the greedy ones.For anybody who love big black mastiff type dogs there are plenty to choose from.
This is a amazing powerful dog. I hope the dog breaders are very cautious who the sell this dogs too. Very dangerous in the hands of a unexperienced dog owner. This dogs should stay in the farm.
david gonzalez are you dumb? That’s like calling a Doberman pinched and miniature pincher the same breed. If I had a slope back German Shepard I’m going to call it a slope back German Shepard, if I had a long haired German Shepard I’m going to call it a long haired German Shepard
@@troycampbell7131 boerboels are not supposed to be long legged. They are meant to be thick and yet agile for their size. Boerboels are built for power, speed is just an addition.
As puppies my chi and a puppy Boerboel connected like magnets and screamed when they saw the other owners car coming to the dog park. Like teenagers in deep love, they always dived towards each other, but stopped 2 meters away and both did a silly happy-dance for a while. Then they roamed in a 30-35 meter radius from us owners, exploring things together and having a lovely time. Once they spooned while 3-4 dogs where busy whith other stuff, which broke our hearts. If someone my dog didn't like entered the park (like, 3 times in 2 years) he'd bark and holler at them until his big friend ran up real close on the intruders. Soft and tender, but still makes anyone think twice before making any threats. I'm in serious considerations of getting a Boerbol now. I just like both kinds of dogs, and it's kinda nice having one alerter and one enforcer. Just in case.
@@letsbehonesthoney.1038 it still applies It's not uncommon for boerboel puppies (in South Africa) to look like adults even if they're less than a year old
@@letsbehonesthoney.1038 I know that just because it looks like an adult doesn't mean it is one. "You're just guessing" I'm not sure if you've been to South Africa but take a walk around areas that has dogs, specifically boerboels, and you will see that they're generally bigger than the ones in this video. Puppies included. And I'm talking about owners who have boerboels either as working dogs or just for the sake of having them, not only breeders.
Boerboels are probably the healthiest big dog breed exactly cause they are still working dogs. All the health problems this lady talks about are typical of extremely bad bred boerboels. Mine, wich is not one of the best, is 6 years old, she lives outdoor and go to vet once a year just to get vaccins. For me the best breed for home protection, very tollerant with children and friends. Very intimidating with strangers intruders
Max Golant hi, i bought it from a South African breeder. I know it’s not sudgested to buy dogs online, but at that time it was difficult to find a good boerboel here where i live
She's real breeder - her dogs are in right weight, like they should be, because they are working dogs, not like many boerboels around 90kg (they are overweight, only for look aspect). And what i really appreciate and respect is fact, that she didn't cropped ears and didn't docked tail, which is very popular in USA and fortunately banned in many countries in Europe. Many breeders have their dog with crooped ears (presa canario, cane corso, pitbull) and with docked tails (like other breeders doing with their boerboels), when their dogs are show ones not working dogs. Love that woman and breed, one day i will get my own Boerboel :)
Black "Boerboels" don't normally have that gorgeous square blocky head. They look like they've had a black Labrador jump into the mix. I absolutely adore my Boerboel ❤
how to make a working dog into a show dog - give it to the americans im being hyperbolic ofc chill lots of great dogs in the US ofc - but you get what I mean - I got a tonn of examples - like the Irish setter a working dog turned into a joke in america - not all, chill again
Good dogs tho but Not a true specimens.. The real boerboels here where im from in Africa are much bigger and are build a bit different thats just how we know them and why they were used for protection against lions and stuff because of their size..
Akc has ruined just about every dog breed. Thi lady obviously does not know what she is talking about. also she is alright with the boerbel weighting 180 still to heavy. This breed should be very athletic in order to perform in extreme environments
200lbs on a male is fine if there lean on a high protein diet and sled pulling/exercised these are a big breed most males won't get heavier then 180 becuase people don't feed and weight train them for that size these dogs were bread to deter lions and hyenas
Great video! Don’t agree with the breeding philosophy or the AKC influences. More in the Brad Anderson camp but beautifully shot and put together as always! Thanks so much 🙏👍🏻
This video is a MUST see for anyone (especially Americans) who have an interest is these amazing family members. The one shown in the show is probably the closet to perfection I have ever seen. Too many American breeders have ruined their dogs as they breading them too big. There in no need to try getting them bigger than the one shown here, trust me that dog will destroy those overgrown beasts, because though it is lighter it is almost the same strength, but it is more agile, an over sized BOERBOEL is ugly.
I chuckled a little bit when she said the bitches . I know that what they called females dogs just in case someone writes in the comments. I was watching something on tv and was caught off guard.
I got a black female, and I've seen a lot of negative feedback from some breeders about the blacks. She's an awesome example of the breed and a great dog, what more could you want. AKC is all about money. Happy days.
AKC has distorted the boerboel perceptions and standards. also with regards to colors and proportions kindly refine so as not to distort what the actual breed standard is. this is a SOUTH AFRICAN DOG thus its important to have all associations on a global scale follow the sabbs standards (South African standard). also color discrimination isn't good as its like saying an albino isn't a thorough human being. or someone that isn't recognized as a human being. other than that nice video.
also sabbs doesn't agree with the under bite statement you made.they'd disqualify your dogs so please don't ruin the breed as some of your dogs don't emulate what the breed is or standard is.
The problem with "black" Boerboel is that it was achieved by a deliberate cross breeding to change the dog. Some have a problem with Brindel but that is BS Brindel Boerboel have been around a very long time, not very common but is known, even SABBS is at odds with must old breeders *even refusing to recognize farmers as breeders and selecting city breeders instead) because they are city people who have gone out they way to take control of this breed from the original breeders namely FARMERS (who UNLIKE SABBS who are in to the breed for money, farmers are into the breed for protection, often giving their dogs away and swapping with neighbors to stop inbreeding) no one knows the breed better than they do after all they been breeding these dogs for over 200 years when the father passes away he passes on the farm and the dogs generation after generation, whilst the top people in SABBS have less then 15 years and were not born into the breed generation after generation.
@@SJ-wu9zx I'm generalising not that one in particular but every one I've seen. I mean go look up Terrible twins Boerboels. They are lions. No black Boerboels, bred to the African standards.
Even in America, they are less common. It's also not that unthinkable, given the hodge podge of native South African dogs, English, Dutch, and French dogs, that ancestored boerboel, in addition to who knows what else, that some mix of genetics would produce pure breed blackness rarely. It's also not that absurd to suggest black dogs were removed from liters in historic south Africa, a trend we moved away from earlier in America.
And as someone who lives in South Africa, I can tell you that most of the dogs in this video are not true boerboels, they are an americanised version but not a true suid afrikanse boerboel
The AKC in my opinion has in one way been helpful for dogs but in another been detrimental. I have seen them interbreed dog just to make them more Handler friendly. I'm just going to leave it at that
I am picking up a rottweiler puppy in 6 days. The puppy have been mostly been eating canned food (wet fod) will it upset its tummy if i change its diet to kibble. ?
Whatever you choose to switch too, you need to slowly transition it by mixing it's old food with the new food and decreasing the old food day by day with the new food.
@Me vitamin a is fat soluble...this means it can be poisonous if administered incorrectly. Pumpkin is an excellent food source. Dont feed pumpkin everyday or more than a few times a week to prevent a vitamin a overdose.
so much advice here! A sudden change can upset their system, just gradually introduce the kibble a little at a time into the wet food, while removing the balance of wet food. If you do it over a couple of weeks, the dog won't notice and neither will you :) I use a solid brand, know where they source their 'meat derivatives' and please try to avoid fish based foods as they have a seriously high level of mercury which cause cancers in dogs. As this lady said, introduce calcium supplement for healthy bones, even if it's for the first 9 months or so. baked and crushed egg shell is a great alternative if you find vet costs too high (as I do!) Them bones really need support in growth as rotties do get pretty hefty. I personally avoid raw diet as it can give you more issues with parasites and in turn an unhappy dog. Sorry to bang on, I adore dogs and would adopt all of them if I could get away with it!
What are your opinions on finding a Boerboel Rescue as opposed to going to a breeder? I would love to give a good dog a loving home but on the other hand I want something genetically sound that I could raise on my own.
@10:06 she stated "oh you have nice dog, I have a nice dog let's breed them. And that's how a breed gets ruined" she said that after saying it took 10? Breeds to make a Boerboel. It's people like her who ruins the breed.this is a good dog and you breed dogs with other good dogs not smaller dogs not radical wild dogs others good stable dogs equivalent to size. I spoke with her or the other lady one time really disappointing I have dogs from the best bloodlines in South Africa great breeder that sold them to me black iron boerbles don't talk to that lady here on RU-vid she and her friend are nuts
Stop spoiling this breed,,this dog should look like it can work on a farm all day and hold down big hogs ,,big muscled dogs like a true boerboel works all day every day on farms and they're great guard dogs etc, people in s.Africa wouldn't reconise the dogs shown here.
