| Grooming Like most short haired breeds that are bred to work outside, the Boerboel requires little more than a regular bath to keep his coat healthy. |
|
| History Research has revealed that the ancestry of the Boerboel can be traced as far back as the time of Herodotus and to Tibet, Assyria and Babylon. In Assyria the dogs were used as soldiers covered with reinforced material to protect them when Assurbanipal conquered Egypt. Later, Alexander the Great was responsible for taking them to Europe. Apparently in 326BC Alexander received a present of 156 of these large dogs that had been specially trained to fight lions and elephants. |
|
| Positives Boerboels are active, athletic dogs. They will run, jump and play like no other mastiff breed that you have seen. They are not hyper like a Jack Russell Terrier but they are not lazy couch potatoes like most mastiffs either. Ideally you should plan to take time everyday to train, play with and exercise your Boerboel. In return you will get a very loyal family member. |
|
| Negatives The Boerboel, given it's size and athleticism, are definitely not suited for apartment life! |
