Pups
Our goal is to breed healthy and definitely good-natured dogs according to the original breed standard. Years of background work have helped us to understand what kind of dogs we want in the future to live the everyday life of our large family, and what kind of dogs we want Boerboels to be in the future.
We don't want to turn the breed into a giant, loose and lazy companion breed, but with our own choices we strive to preserve the breed as it has been, an active, well-built farm dog with a strong guarding instinct.
All our breeding dogs are health tested for HD, ED, spine and knees, eyes, heart and hyperplasia/testicular defects.
In addition to these, we also DNA test our breeding dogs for hyperuricosuria (HUU), canine multifocal retinopathy 1 (CMR1) and psychomotor epilepsy.
Despite thorough background research, surprises can always occur because after all, we are dealing with live animals.
Are you interested in a puppy from us?
The puppies are delivered microchipped, properly wormed (at 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks) and checked by a veterinarian, with a veterinary certificate and a puppy package. The puppy package includes e.g. the electronic version 24-page Tuebor Boerboels puppy guide and the 17-page Boerboel breed info.
The birth certificate of the puppies comes from Holland (Boerboel Foundation) and/or Australia (WBBA) and all puppies are primarily sold as pets without breeding rights.
Puppies of will be used to handling, normal household noises, children of all ages, strangers and other dogs.
Our puppies grow mainly on raw food, but we also get used to dry food.
Our expectations for puppy owners:
Have you familiarized yourself with the dog's care, breed and purpose in advance? We recommend that you get basic information about the breed before the first contact.
We require prospective homes to be cooperative and interested in dealing with the breeders even after the puppy is in it's new home.
The owner must commit to having the dog undergo health examinations during its adulthood (+18 months). We recommend examining at least the elbows (ED), hips (HD), back (LTV, VA, SP) and knees (PL).
The owner must focus on the puppy's manners training, handling and socialization from the first days of arrival. We primarily appreciate active homes where dogs are allowed to fulfill their natural purpose as farm guards and general purpose dogs.
Preliminary reservations are accepted before the puppies are born, final reservations are made after the litter is born and the gender distribution is seen, in which case a reservation fee (€500) is also paid. If, as the puppies grow, it seems that we cannot find a suitable puppy for you, the reservation fee can be transferred to a future litter.
Puppies are not sold or given away with partial payment and the reserved puppy must be paid for in full after puppy tests at about 6 weeks of age. If the final payment is not made before delivery, the puppy reservation will be transferred to the next litter.
In order for the right puppy to find a suitable home, we do not let the buyer choose the puppy, but we choose the right owner for the puppy after puppy tests, which are performed when the puppies are about 6-7 weeks old.
Please fill out the puppy questionnaire carefully and honestly if you are interested in a puppy.
All breeders, regardless of breed, should be able to stand behind their own puppies, the dogs they choose for breeding and the lines they choose, and guarantee that they do not deliberately breed sick or otherwise defective puppies. If diseases occur in the breed, all ethical breeders replace the defective puppies they have bred.
For this reason, all our puppies have always had and will always have a health guarantee.
If the dog shows a hereditary defect by the age of two years (24 months) that essentially affects the dog's performance, the buyer is entitled to receive a replacement puppy of the same level from a future litter.
All defects must be proven with a veterinary certificate, which is checked by our own veterinarian.
The health guarantee covers:
Hips worse than D
Elbows worse than 2
Knees (patella) worse than 2
Genetically affected with HUU/DM/CMR1/epilepsy
