The Boerboel is one of the last dog breeds I’d recommend to a first-time dog owner.
I own one, and I know firsthand what it takes to train and maintain a dog like this.
Boerboels are natural-born protectors. That protective instinct doesn’t need to be created—it’s already there.
Then add the size.
The strength.
The power.
And the stubbornness.
That combination can make this breed extremely challenging for someone who doesn’t have experience handling large, powerful dogs.
In the wrong hands, that size and natural protectiveness can become dangerous very quickly.
This is a breed that requires someone who understands what they’re working with, especially if you’ve never owned a Mastiff or another large, powerful breed before.
