Meet our Boerboels—beloved members of our family and trusted guardians of our property. Boerboels thrive with plenty of outdoor space, proper exercise, and a balanced diet to support healthy growth. Excessive time indoors or on slippery surfaces can negatively impact joint and structural development. We’re fortunate to provide our dogs with ample land to roam, play, and mature as strong, well-balanced Boerboels.

Betty is a sweet and loving girl! She comes from an impressive list of dogs in her pedigree. Betty was appraised at 88.1%. During the appraisal, the appraiser complimented not only her rear angulation but also what a great temperament she has! Betty loves her family and wants to be wherever we are. She’s friendly when she’s out in public but more protective when she is home. She’s always ready to go do something but also content to just hangout with her people. She is 24.5” at the withers and 135 lbs.
