In this video I talk about why I chose the Rottweiler and not a South African Masstiff for my next family pet.

    I have owned both breeds...& I do agree...mostly in your assessment...I live in a subberb...but in a park system. My Rotties were Awesome family members & great protectors. My Boerboels were also Great family members & The BEST protectors. Non Aggressive but with their size & stature very ominous.. No one would dare challenge them. As far as training.maybe the Rottie was a little more intelligent...but with the Willingness to please his master..my Boels would do anything to please me. I Loved both breeds...BUT... It's BOERBOELS for me All the Way.

    We have a boerboel and live in a townhouse with a tiny yard in Kenya. He is my 21 year old daughter's best friend and while he's very alpha, respects me as the pack leader and does not challenge the pecking order. He's highly intelligent and trainable, the best protector (both in terms of natural instinct and sheer physical size), and a great family dog (very affectionate, wants to be with his people, etc.). He loves all the neighborhood kids and would protect any of them, and is as gentle as a feather with small children. That being said, he does get a minimum of 90 minutes a day of walks, usually more like 2.5 hours. And still has tons of energy to play. For us, we're absolutely in love with boerboels - our Chimo shares a bed with my daughter. Interestingly, his 'girlfriend' is a rottie and they love each other!

    My service dog is a Boerboel. She has many obedience titles (the first and ONLY Boerboel to earn the challenging AKC Rally Champion title!). She is incredibly intelligent and was SO easy to train. (She makes me look like a good trainer!). My 13 yo daughter has a 6 month old Rott pup that is also shockingly fast to learn. She will start competing with her next month and I suspect they will do great together. Both breeds are amazing for just slightly different reasons. I love the Rottie, but the uniqueness of the Boerboel is what will draw me back to them when my current dog retires!

    @@mustafashulqamy1844 - Honestly, it's best to own a 'normal' dog before getting a hardcore working breed because their drives can be more than a newbie can handle. It's not just a simple equation of knowing how to make a dog sit, down, etc., it's about being able to read a dog's behavior and knowing what is going on in their heads. Different types of dogs think differently. Herding dogs get frustrated easily, they tend to nip, and they can be pushy. Working dogs can be dominant, territorial, and protective. When pushed to bite, they mean it. Hounds can get overwhelmed with smells or sights and might ignore you. Each group has its challenges ... and it's important to know how to train using those challenges to create success!

He’s about 28” at the withers with a weight of around 175 lbs. I have a large backyard and also two Standard Poodles. There would never be another breed for me. He loves his Mommie and would stand between me and any threat. His beauty is beyond compare. He is not dog or people aggressive but I do not let everyone who marvels at him reach out and pet him. His vet and staff adore him. I use Petsmart for his grooming and they love to see him coming as well. Good luck with your Boerboel. You will not regret it.

    That is the problem, city people in South Africa found out about our farm dog the Boerboel and now try lay claim to it, starting clubs and associations etc, but they do not know or understand the dog. The Boerboel has barely changed in 200 years it was bred for the farm by the farmer, it is not a city dog was never tended to be in cities with the noise, high congestion of people and smells. This is why you will find that Boerboels on the farm have very different personalities to those in the city or small holdings, they are calmer less likely to attack. They need lots of space and lots of stimulation. Their name says it all BOERBOEL Farmers dog. City people must stay away from this breed because they giving it a bad name due to placing it into stressful situations. The SABBS and all kennel clubs have no claim or right to have any say regarding these dogs as they have had nothing to do with the breed until recently and their only interest in the breed is financial, the breed has survived for hundreds of years almost unchanged with out city people try to dictate who may breed them, what defines them or who may use the term. None of these organisations are from the farm, and they have no idea what a Boerboel is. One look at the majority of the registered breeders will clearly show you that mass production (ie money) not love or understanding is the only driving factor for the forming of the SABBS. The dogs are breed in large numbers, kept in cages for hours per day and have little to no access to the wild. Boerboel through the ages (bred by farmers for farmers) are breed slowly, often years between pregnancies (unlike SABBS members who breed them as often as they can) and from birth they are free roamers, this is important to ensure that the dogs muscles build keeps pace with its growth rate, non farm breed Boerboels have a much higher fat %, live shorter lives and have hip problems due to the idiots at SABBS thinking they are dealing with Rotties not Boerboels, this entire talk of the angle of the back legs is the reason for the hip problems, Boerboels have a very slight angle almost straight, this reduces the strain on their hips from their mass it also allows them more rapid changes in direction and higher jumps, essential tools for them to do the job they were bred for, killings Hyenas, Lions, leopards. SABBS and US kennels try claim 2 walks a day is sufficient for these beauties, what utter rubbish these are dogs who are on the move a lot 2h exercise a day a way below their needs (another cause for their so called aggressiveness and hip problems) Oubaas, my grandfather's Boerboel was a highly protective of us children, if one of the other dogs hurt one of us it was the Boerboel that sorted out the guilty dog. In 1976 my grandfather bought another Boerboel as Oubaas was getting old, Nero was my dog and lived to the age 15 when he had to be put down as my grandfather had moved into the city after loosing his farm and Nero went insane, Oubaas died at the age of 17. I have in the last month been talking to my friends who grew up on the farms in the region and out of 20 of us 18 grew up with Boerboels, NOT one had a dog with hip problems and the average age was 16, proving that the SO CALLED know it alls of the breed are actually destroying the breed.

    In regards to the Boerboel, it depends on the temperament of the Boerboel. My Boerboel is from South Africa from Dopper lines. I lived in a tiny house in the suburbs when I had gotten him, and he lived with 6 other dogs. So if you can imagine living with that many other dogs, cats, chickens, etc, we were all very cramped lol But Boerboels are adaptable creatures. I didn't make a big deal about it so neither did he. I now live in the mountains, but there isn't a lot of space either to roam. The houses are very close to each other and there's not much of a yard. I now have 15 dogs and I just take them out to the park, stores, other mountains to hike, and wherever else I can bring a dog. A Boerboel can live in the city and do just fine as well. Like I had mentioned, it really depends on the temperament of the Boerboel and its energy level. All of my dogs are of medium energy which works for my lifestyle.

    First off, nothing wrong with your pronunciation. I fully understand and respect your reason for choosing a Rotti. Boerboels however don't do too badly in Urbane environments, the vast majority of Boerboels in South Africa are kept in urban areas as guard dogs because of the high crime rates. You do however have to keep them exercised and mentally stimulated. I would say to you to follow your passion in your future and get a Boerboel one day, there is no better companion to be had in the dog world.

    I was very disappointed when you did not get a Boerboel. For those of us who like large breed dogs, it is the perfect companion. I don’t know where you got the rottie is more intelligent because that is not true. The Boerboel is highly intelligent and extremely devoted to his family, especially children. That ball was dropped. Also, I live in suburbia and my 3-year old Boerboel is magnificent. He commands attention EVERYWHERE he goes. He has been so well trained professionally that even trainers compliment him. You know their look is awesome with a longer life span than the rottie. I really thought you were gonna step out there with this still somewhat unknown giant. I’m still not sure why you chose the rottie but if that’s what you like, that’s what you like. I am happy for you. However, it seems like you only made the choice because you say the BB should live in a rural setting. This can be true of most large breeds including the rottie. The BB is, though, able to live in your suburban setting. Perhaps there is a BB in your future. You will NOT be disappointed.

    Well said, l also have a three year old Boerboel, purchased from South Florida Boerboels. They are complete Velcro dogs and can easily figure things out, especially if you are a week owner, for if you are, you will be dominated. They will protect you like no other, and absolutely have a natural affection for children. Rotties bark at anything more or less, when a Boerboel barks, something's up, then the growl, then God help you if he catches you. Look up their bite force, l kid you not... ..

    If I were to pick a dog based solely on looks, I'd probably take a Thai Ridgeback or Boerboel too! Instead I'll be getting a Brittany, because they're much better adjusted to living in civilization. I lived in Cape Town for 6 years, and encountered plenty of Boerboels with perfectly nice temperaments. They were literally walking around off leash, occasionally coming up to people for a cuddle. However, it seems to me that the international community has taken these dogs and turned them into your standard asshole molosser, that looks like a gigantic French Bulldog. The first time I saw a pair of Boerboels in Germany, I didn't even recognize that they were supposed to be that same breed I've met so many times, until the owners straight up told me lol. (Those two were extremely short and wide, one was piebald and the other brindle, both colors I never saw in South Africa.) Based on the videos he did on them, it seems that American breeders are just breeding for looks and aggression, which sucks. The ones in his videos didn't look as bad as the ones in Germany, but their temperament seemed to be worse (based on the description the owners gave). I've never actually encountered one since moving to the US, which is probably a good thing.

  • @JamieVauxnut1
    @JamieVauxnut13 жыл бұрын

    I've had both and personally dont think there is anything in it in terms of intelligence. But that said the Rottweiler is definitely more trainable with the Boerboel being very stubborn and independent especially when under 2 years. After 18 months to 2 years they really do take direction a lot better, very well in fact. At puppy stages i have never experienced a puppy like a Boerboel, the first 5 months you will be torn to shreds as the puppy biting/mouthing is unreal and they loose their sharp puppy teeth very late in life. If you have had any other pup and found the mouthing unbearable juat dont even consider the Boerboel. Once mature though the boerboel is so rewarding to work with and wouldn't be without at least one now. Great video about the selection process for you, glad you found the correct breed for your lifestyle
