Top Tier Boerboels

St. Louis, MO

Top Tier Boerboels is a South African Boerboel kennel run by NaVondyl "Von" Young, based in St. Louis, Missouri, with a second location referenced in Chicago, Illinois ^[1]. The kennel breeds to South African Boerboel Breeders Society (SABBS) and North American Boerboel Breeders Association (NABBA) standards, states that its dogs are DNA tested, vet checked and microchipped, and lists SABBS membership #0688323 ^[1]. It publishes named breeding stock and per-dog appraisal data, including its brown sire Ghost (by Concrete Boerboels STL Tuff out of Nobles Lady Annie), who carries a SABBS appraisal score of 83.6 recorded at 23 months, above the 75 percent mark that admits a dog to the SABBS breeding register ^[2]. A public-records and reputation review found no lawsuits, animal-welfare actions, or verified buyer complaints naming Top Tier Boerboels or NaVondyl Young. The kennel remains active: a litter is recorded with a puppy born October 28, 2025, and the Facebook page states the program continues to produce Boerboels to meet the SABBS standard ^[2]^[3]. The kennel's website was confirmed live and current as of February 2026, the most recent verifiable public activity ^[1].

OFA Health Testing

View all records →

Public OFA records for dogs bred by this kennel, identified by the kennel prefix in each dog's registered name. A dog may have been owned by someone else when it was tested, so these records reflect what the kennel produced rather than what it currently owns. Counts include all-time history; scoring uses the past 5 years only.

Date range

Hip result disclosure

Hip results are public for 2 of 5 dogs screened for hips or elbows. Across all Boerboels in OFA's database the figure is 78%.

OFA screens hips and elbows on one application, and that form lets the owner keep a result off the public database if it comes back abnormal. 3 dogs have an elbow evaluation on file with no matching hip evaluation. That usually means a hip result exists and was not released, though hips screened through PennHIP also stay off OFA unless the owner files them there as well. Either way the grade is not public, and the choice belonged to whoever owned the dog at the time, who is not always the kennel that bred it.
