Danny: These dogs are the epitomy of beast mode.
They dont mess around.
Paula: Dogs of war,
they've actually fought in wars
these dogs were born to protect.
Danny: This is Barbarian Fury,
we produced him like 13 months ago.
He's going to be one of our up and coming studs.
175lbs already, still got some growing to do.
Probably going to be over a 200lb Boerboel.
I love his markings, his colouring, he's a really gentle dog, good temperament.
Danny: When I saw my first one I just,
I didn't know what it was and it was just like a dog on steroids.
The dog was working out
24/7 like a body builder.
Danny: This is Cuda, and his temperament is really well,
he's got good temperment.
When I first got him,
he just jumped up on my bed
and stood over on top of me.
Looked at me, face to face.
He has a really scary stare.
He's kind of got red eyes
and should have been called the Grim Reaper.
Paula: Boerboels have always been known as kind of dogs of war.
They've actually fought in wars.
They're like gladiators.
So we like to refer to them as dogs of war.
Boerboels are naturally protective,
but they're also very smart.
They're a very confident dog.
The current heaviest dog we've ever had is Gotti.
He's probably a little bit over 200lbs.
But Fury is only 13 months
and he's already probably 175, 180lbs.
And Boudicca, she's 175lbs.
She's a giant girl.
Danny: I've been breeding Boerboels for about seven years now.
We got our first Boerboel because
Paula wanted a dog that she could walk and feel safe.
Paula: We started looking for a Boerboel.
This was about nine years ago,
and we could hardly find one
but we were lucky enough to find one
and our first boerboel was Kamorra.
So these are three week old puppies
They'll actually be three weeks old on Monday.
Typically our puppies sell for pet registration $2500.
Or full registration with breeding rights is $3200.
We have probably about six litters a year,
three in the winter and three in this spring/summer.
They're adorable.
They got these little wrinkles on their nose and their faces.
And they're just like, little chunks and they already start to show their muscle structure.
They're just, they're thick.
Paula: Boerboels are excellent home guard dogs,
and protectors because they're very, very alert and they're very intimidating.
So I feel very safe.
It's not for everybody. Some people, don't like that type of clingyness, but I love it.
Boerboels are very clingy.
So there is no such thing as personal space.
If I go to the bathroom,
they're following me to the bathroom.
If I don't close the door, they shove their way through
and they sit there.
They always want to be like right up on your lap or right in your face.
Danny: A dog is man's best friend.
And a Boerboel sticks to his owner like velcro.
If you don't like that then
a boerboel is probably not the dog for you.
Paula: People often ask us
what we feed our dogs?
They want to know because they think that we're feeding it something that's causing
its muscles to be big.
Danny: I just feed them dry kibble,
that I buy at Costco.
They eat twice a day.
Three cups in the morning and three cups in the evening.
It's about $1,500 a month,
which is about $18,000 a year.
Paula: Most people get the Boerboel for protection.
So I have a lot of people that call me,
they're truck drivers and their wives are at home alone.
Or we sell a lot of dogs to, police officers that are leaving the dog with their wife while they're working.
I love taking videos of the dogs
especially when they just look like a lion
kind of running across the field.
Danny is the pack leader for sure,
he's the alpha of the barbarians.
I'm more of the play toy
and the lover of the dogs.
He's the boss.
Danny: Have to be that way with this breed.
If not, you will have problems.
