2011 Boerboel Puppies:
Country of Origin: The Boerboel (‘farmer’s dog’ in Afrikaans) originates in South Africa. It is a guard dog which was created by mixing various African and European breeds, possibly including the Bulldog, Bullmastiff, and Rhodesian Ridgeback. By some reports, the Boerboel was brought to South Africa by Jan van Riebeeck, the founder of Cape Town. Boerboels were used to protect diamond mines by the De Beers Corporation and for personal protection by Dutch settlers during British rule. Today, most are bred in South Africa. The Boerboel is not currently recognized by the American Kennel Club but is registered with its Foundation Stock Service.

It is highly devoted to family and affectionate with children it knows, but can be aggressive toward strangers.

The Boerboel has an unusually high requirement for human companionship—periods of isolation will result in destructive and disobedient behavior.
