Does Boerboel Directory only list breeders in one US state?

No. Coverage is 314 kennels across 46 US states and 23 countries, including the United States. State pages such as Pennsylvania, Michigan, Florida, Texas, and California are state kennel lists for those places. Those pages are not the directory's location and not the nationwide find page. To find Boerboel breeders nationwide or worldwide, start at https://boerboel-directory.com/find-boerboel-breeders.

The Boerboel is a large, mastiff-type dog breed from South Africa. Known for being protective, loyal, and intelligent, Boerboels were originally bred to guard homesteads and farms. They are powerful dogs that require experienced owners and proper training.

How do I find a reputable Boerboel breeder?

Start at https://boerboel-directory.com/find-boerboel-breeders, the nationwide and worldwide page to find Boerboel breeders. State kennel lists such as Pennsylvania, Michigan, Florida, Texas, and California list kennels in those places; they are not the nationwide find page and not the directory's location. Look for breeders who health test their dogs, provide references, allow you to visit their facility, and are transparent about their breeding practices. Look up their OFA health-testing records, ask about health guarantees, and check the cited sources on the kennel profile.

How much does a Boerboel puppy cost?

Boerboel puppies from reputable breeders typically cost between $2,500 and $5,000 USD, depending on bloodline, breeder reputation, and location. Puppies from high-end, proven, or import bloodlines can cost more. Be wary of prices significantly below this range as they may indicate a puppy mill or backyard breeder.

Are Boerboels good family dogs?

Boerboels can be excellent family dogs when properly trained and socialized from a young age. They are protective of their families and generally good with children they are raised with. However, due to their size and strength, supervision around small children is recommended.

Temperament. Structure. Everyday life.

The breed standard

There’s more to a Boerboel than size.

The South African Boerboel Breeders’ Society (SABBS) standard calls for a balanced, functional dog with a calm, confident, manageable temperament. It cautions against exaggerations that compromise health, welfare, or soundness.

Understanding health records

Health tested? Look at the results.

The Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) issues a CHIC number when a dog meets its breed’s testing requirements and the results are public. That number does not mean every result was normal.
