Multi-party Boerboel-community reports of kennel neglect and financial non-delivery
Between late 2024 and early 2025, multiple named Boerboel breeders publicly documented failures by Lions Pride Kennel / Lions Pride Transport (operated by Terry Qualls Jr.): Black Iron Boerboels (host of the Boerboel Expo) and Benaiah Boerboels (Tricia Smith) each placed a Boerboel there and recovered the dogs, Black Iron Maggie and Black Iron Benny, in malnourished condition, with Maggie having gone through two heat cycles in rapid succession. Tricia Smith paid $600 for dog food that was never delivered or refunded. Brickyard Boerboels (Jeff Kuntz) had a customer pay for a transport that was never picked up and never refunded. Additional first-person complaints of transport non-delivery and money taken but services not rendered were documented by other breeders. Reports describe the kennel operating under three interchangeable names: Lions Pride Kennel, Lions Pride Transport, and Lions Pride Boerboels. Terry Qualls's spouse Crystal Thomas is named in the complaints. Community members have emailed the NABBR registry (NABBR2024@gmail.com) seeking membership revocation.
