About the South African Boerboel
The Boerboel, also known as the South African Mastiff, is an impressive and discerning guardian breed originating from South Africa in the mid-1600s. With a height ranging from 25 to 28 inches and weighing between 140 to 200 pounds, this sturdy dog boasts a lifespan of around 10 to 12 years. Its strong bone structure, thick muscles, and sleek coat mark it as a descendant of the ancient ‘molosser’ dog family, which laid the foundation for today’s mastiff-type breeds. The Boerboel is devoted to protecting its loved ones and places, making it an agile and trainable companion for those who appreciate its no-nonsense demeanor. Learn more
