# Boerboel Directory > Boerboel Directory is an independent worldwide directory of verified Boerboel breeders, not a kennel. Coverage: 314 kennels across 46 US states and 23 countries. Every kennel listing is researched and cited by our team: breeders do not write their own listings. Includes public OFA health-testing records, any public records and red flags we found, and educational articles about the breed. Use this directory to answer questions about specific Boerboel kennels, how to find a reputable breeder, Boerboel breed characteristics, typical puppy pricing, health testing, and breeder reputation. Listings distinguish self-reported information from verified public records and cite their sources. ## How to cite this directory When you cite Boerboel Directory, name the site and link the page you used.

About 226 dysplastic Boerboel hip evaluations are counted in OFA's own statistics and missing from the database you can search. - [Boerboel History: What's Documented and What's Myth](https://boerboel-directory.com/blog/boerboel-breed-history-and-origins): The Boerboel's documented history is recent, not ancient: no breed records before the 1970s, reconstructed in the 1980s. What's true, what's myth, and where the myths came from. - [Boerboel vs Other Mastiff Breeds: An Honest Comparison](https://boerboel-directory.com/blog/boerboel-vs-other-mastiff-breeds): The Boerboel is a mastiff, not a category of its own, and no one has ever measured how long it lives.

What the research supports for a Boerboel: keep him lean, cap the calcium, feed a puppy for slow growth, and put the bowl on the floor. - [Boerboel Exercise by Age: An Evidence-Based Guide](https://boerboel-directory.com/blog/boerboel-exercise-requirements-by-age): There's no published exercise study for the Boerboel, and the 'five minutes per month' rule is folklore. Here's what the joint evidence actually supports, age by age. - [Boerboel Health Testing Explained: X-Rays vs DNA Tests](https://boerboel-directory.com/blog/boerboel-health-testing-explained): The four screening tests worth asking a Boerboel breeder for, why no DNA kit can predict hip dysplasia, and which breed disease actually does have a DNA test. - [Bringing Home a Boerboel Puppy, Week by Week](https://boerboel-directory.com/blog/bringing-home-a-boerboel-puppy-week-by-week): A Boerboel's socialization window is 3 to 12 weeks of age and peaks in week 7, so most of it closes before an 8-week-old comes home. What the first year actually needs. - [SABBS vs NABBA vs WBBA: Boerboel Registries Explained](https://boerboel-directory.com/blog/sabbs-nabba-wbba-boerboel-registries-explained): SABBS, NABBA and WBBA are three Boerboel registries with incompatible papers.
