The Boerboel’s gentle-giant nature and low-maintenance grooming needs can be misleading for first-time pet parents. Boerboels can actually be challenging to manage, thanks to this breed’s confident nature and independent thinking.
The South African Boerboel is highly devoted to their family and can be good with children, but they can put their guard up around strangers, whom they might perceive as a threat. If you bring home a Boerboel puppy, know that early socialization and consistent training are vital for helping this breed be comfortable in new situations.

Despite their docile nature at home, Boerboels are quite agile for a Mastiff-type dog, and need to be kept physically and mentally stimulated. Their needs can be met with daily long walks (always on a leash!) or playtime in a fenced yard. If their physical and mental needs are not met, they can become destructive and have been known to chew.

The Boerboel’s docile and gentle demeanor makes this breed a loyal, lovable companion—but they need early socialization to help them learn that new people, animals, and situations are not scary or threatening. A home with experienced pet parents who will dedicate themselves to socializing and training their Boerboel puppy is a must for this breed.
