Why the Boerboel?

03/08/2025

For us, this breed is not just a physical mold, not a collection of show titles, and not a memory from decades past printed on paper.
The Boerboel is part of our life – in our everyday routines, in our decisions, in our yard, and in our family.

The Boerboel is not an easy breed, nor should it be.
It is a large, powerful, and independent dog that requires understanding, time, and consistency. It doesn't give itself lightly, but when a bond forms, it runs deeper and carries more meaning than most can imagine.

This is a breed that looks you straight in the eye – and expects you to be present.
It doesn't live halfway, nor does it give half effort.
But when given direction and trust, it offers more in return than any other dog: protection, strength, presence, and a loyalty whose value can only be fully understood once experienced.

To us, the Boerboel is not just a dog with a certain structure or color.
What matters is how it lives alongside people. How it moves, functions, interacts – especially with children.
How it responds in moments that demand calm decisiveness – and how it holds onto its natural essence in a constantly changing world.

The Boerboel is not a compromise, and it should never be bred as one.
At Tuebor, every breeding decision is carefully considered – not just based on looks or pedigree, but above all on temperament, health, and the overall quality of the dog.

We don't breed quickly, and we don't breed lightly.
We breed Boerboels rooted in heritage, yet shaped with a vision for the future.
Our lines carry the spirit of the original – while living in today's world, with today's demands.

For us, the most important thing is to preserve what makes the Boerboel a Boerboel:
its balance, strength, gentle heart toward its own family, and unwavering readiness to protect what matters most.

At Tuebor Boerboels, breeding is not just a process – it is a long-term commitment, a responsibility, and a presence.
We do this work because we believe in what this breed represents at its very best.

That's why our dogs never leave with just papers and vaccination records.
They leave with the breeder's support – and a piece of our heart.

Boerboel is a choice.
And we make that choice, time and time again.
