Boerboel Addicts Dog Kennels
Boerboel Addicts Dog Kennels is a Southern California operation run by Gabriel Medel, a USMC veteran who began keeping Boerboels in 2018 and established the kennel in 2020. [1] Medel's identity and the kennel's ownership are independently confirmed by a Meta-verified Instagram account (@boerboel_addicts_dog_kennels) with 1,627 posts and approximately 33K followers as of 2026-04-26. [5] The kennel also maintains a TikTok account (@boerboel_addicts_dogs) created 2021-03-07 with approximately 15.6K followers and 101 videos as of 2026-04-26; the TikTok bio describes the operation as a "Boerboel Hobby Breeder located in SoCa," and the TikTok account predates the kennel website by about two-and-a-half years (earliest archived snapshot of boerboeladdictsdogkennels.com is 2023-10-31). [6] The sire and dam roster includes dogs imported from South Africa and the United Kingdom. [2][3] No registry membership (SABBS, NABBA, or AKC) is confirmed in public sources, and no formal health-test documentation is published; the kennel states that puppies include "registration paperwork" without specifying the registry. [4] Buyers should request pedigree certificates, registry documentation, and OFA or SABBS health clearances directly from the kennel.
