If you've read the articles on this site, you'll notice that the mentioned old dogs breeds have roots dating back to Roman times. The one that I'm about to talk about is also an
, but having a different root of origin. That my friend is the African Boerboel, which has existed for a long time, but said to have come from Africa - how's that for change? This monster of a pooch can weigh anywhere from 154 to 200 pounds and stand 23 to 28 inches, thanks to the Mastiff in its blood. Though the breed is still being refined (for improvement), it still does manage to perform the main task that was entrusted to it very well – that is guarding.
Like many of the giants out their, it too plays guard dog; they are protective by nature and at the same time territorial. For this canine, there are some lines that should never be crossed. One would be “don't harm the family” - in general, the African Boerboel dog breed forms strong bonds with each member of the household, and makes it a habit to keep an eye out for each one of them. This dog breed has the “gift” of being able to sense the emotions of people – when it senses that the person you're talking to is getting anxious, it'll respond to that by getting ready to attack.
(if necessary). That can be a problem if that type of behavior is not “refined” or made to be better. So if ever you decide on
dog breed as a house pet, it's best that you get it as a pup. At an early age, have it meet the other pets and people and town, and give it canine behavioral lessons. Those are the building blocks of its behavior, and when things are done correctly, it'll become a lot friendlier. If you're a first time owner, you're probably gonna have a hard time keeping it under control.
Again at an early age, establish you're superiority over it – this dog breed has the tendency to be pushy, which also makes it not want to listen to you. So for your own sake (amateur), learn basic dog training methods. Canine grooming for this pooch won't be much of a problem; they have short coats that only need occasional brushing and bathing once a month. This is great for those who feel that grooming shouldn't take so long, or are simply lazy.
must be kept nutritious and given in the right amounts as prescribed by a veterinarian or according to the research you've done.
My advice would be to give it three meals a day (there are some people out there that give it only once daily) to help it digest better. That in turn will also help lessen the odds of it bloating (a potentially serious dog disorder). The African Boerboel is not recommended for indoor living, so for those living in apartments, this isn't the dog breed you're looking for. They need large yard that's secured with sturdy fencing to prance around in, or hang out and chill. And on top of it all, it'll need love and affection to be given by its proud human owners – there's no such thing as a pooch that doesn't.
