Boerboel Farm Dogs: Mizpah Pups for Sale

Boerboel Farm Dogs: Mizpah Pups for Sale: I wanted to post this very cute photo of a pup nicknamed River from the authentic Mizpah Boerboels in South Africa.  As of December 3rd,...

This beautiful Boerboel puppy was posted on  http://boerboelfarmdog.blogspot.com/. I hope he finds a great home he is a beautiful pup. Follow the link for contact info

  Unfortunately River has  risen a little early for me. 

 As a side note and update: Remy's last pregnancy was a false call. I am currently looking for a prime mate for Remy's last breeding attempt.  If you are a Boerboel owner with such a male I am willing to travel and pay for the breeding. 

South African Boerboel in the news

This video is from Cleveland Ohio's local Fox affiliate Fox8. 

The story was about Ohio's push to get tough on puppy mills. The video features Jordan Pittman with Boogaloo a South African Boerboel male. Jordan is my brother and breeder of Remy. 

Remy is due to come into heat very soon and Boogaloo is the Chosen One Come...drift with me, while I dream of the beautiful puppies Remy and Boogaloo will produce. It seems like this is a match made in heaven, as this may likely be Remy's last litter,and Boogaloo is a dynamite stud. 

Caring for Boerboel puppies.....

  As I mentioned in the previous post Remy just had a litter of four puppies. I thought now would be a good time to relate my tips for caring for new born Boerboel puppies.
 As of today the puppies are two weeks old this week and so now they are becoming significantly more active.Up until now I have been leaving the care of the pups up to Remy, after all she is a very good mama. The best thing I for me to do up to this point is to make sure Remy and her pups are kept warm and semi secluded. We used a closet in an unused room for a whelping box, it provides Remy and the puppies a place to relax without disruption from our normal household activities, while at the same time it is still close enough that Remy knows we are not far and have not forgotten about her.
  It is very important to remember that Boerboels are very protective dogs, taking this into consideration we selected a space in our home that is not in a frequently traveled part of out home, so that  Remy is not disturbed by guests that come over to visit. Remy's protective nature is understandably elevated since now she is now looking after her human and k9 family. Keeping Remy calm is imperative for the safety of her puppies. In a fit of excitement Remy could possibly trample a pup or drag one or two who may be feeding. Those puppies have an iron grip when feeding.
  For the first two weeks our primary responsibility was to make sure Remy had enough water and food. It is very important to make sure there is plenty of water available so that she will be able to produce the milk to feed the pups, since they are entirely dependent upon mom for nutrients. As followers of this blog know Remy is normally fed raw meat and bone. Since the puppies have arrived I have switched her to Puppy Chow supplemented with chicken gizzards and beef liver. I switched from raw feeding because I did not want to risk not provided enough of anything that was necessary for the puppies. Finally I have also made sure that Remy always has fresh water and food close by, so she can have her needs met while staying close to the puppies.
  For the first couple of days it is normal for Remy not to want to leave the puppies alone at all, in fact she is not too thrilled when we came by to check on the puppies. You should see the look on her face.
  The decision to cut or not cut the tails should be made before the pups arrive so that you are prepared to have it done in the first five days. You do not want to hurt the puppies so it is best to do it early before the cartilage hardens. We cut the puppies tails at 6 days. If you have a Boerboel, or any dog for that matter take her far enough away so she does not hear the puppies cry out. 
As week two approaches it is time for the puppies to be wormed, wal mart has a good dewormer, but these pups will be wormed by our vet since Remy is do for a post delivery check-up.
I will continue to update the whelping process as the puppies grow so please follow me to receive all updates.

Remy Pups are on the ground 11-27-11

Well the time finally arrived on Sun November 27, 2011. I was watching the Cleveland Browns throw another game away to the Cincinnati Bengals. Definitely not how I hoped the day would go. Thankfully Remy was able to bring a little joy to my Sunday. I was dozing off at about halftime when I heard some whining in the closet. I got up to take a look and lo and behold there were four tiny little Boerboel puppies in there with Remy. I did not hear a thing to indicate she was in labor or delivery. Maybe she heard me yelling at the T.V. and decided to keep it quite. In any event when I made it over to the closet there were three boys and only one girl. The crying that caught my attention was from one of the males my son calls Forrest. It was a turning out to be a pretty good day spite of the Cleveland Clowns loss.

All four of the puppies looked pretty good and I could tell there would be more to come. I made sure Remy had plenty of water and let nature take it's course. Unfortunately the next four pups did not make it, they were all still born as far as I could tell. Sorry Remy!!!

The puppies are doing very well and are growing rapidly I noticed yesterday that all four had their eyes open and they have been crawling around a lot, almost since day one, which is why it has taken me so long to post this birth announcement.

These puppies are from big Moe so I am anticipate to see some very big things from them. I expect these pups will be very sought after, so if you are interested please let me know as soon as possible. They will not be ready to go home until late Jan. so you still have time to get everything prepared for your puppies arrival.

Watching Remy grow has been so fun!!!!!!

I cannot believe it has been 3 years since Remy has been part of our family. As I look back it has been an absolute priviledge to raise Remy. South African Boerboels as a breed are known to be very intelligent and Remy is no exception.  She has a very good memory, she remembers extended family members even after long absences, and greets them with exhuberant jubilation, often times to the sheer delight and relief of everyone.  My mother-in-law, who has been scared of dogs all of her life loves Remy and in fact they have thier own special relationship. Of course Remy loves Grandma, after all she is a true grandmother, always ready to spoil the "baby".  Remy is now 3 years old and has had a few litters, but to us she will always be "the puppy".  I only wish that I had been more vigilant with my posts so that everyone could marvel at the experiences and adventures we have had. We recently decided to welcome one of Remy's pups into our home as a permanent member of our family. Candy is now 4 months old and is growing like a weed. Candy looks  a lot like Remy but definately has her own personality. I think having Candy around has made everyone reminisce a little about how fun and tiresome it was to have a boerboel puppy in the house. I promise to make a better effort to post some of our adventures for your enjoyment.

Video of one and Moe and Remy's finest

Here is video of Tiberius from Moe and Remy's litter in this video he is 13 weeks. Hopefully soon we will have more updates. It is a very amazing thing to see a puppy from Remy looking like I remember her like yesterday. I think he is a very good looking pup and I am excited to see him grow and mature

Remy & Moe had puppies!!!!!!

The puppies were born December 10th I will post more photos soon

Moe a proud Boerboel Pappa

Remy the South African Boerboel Princess!!!

Lets hear it for Exotic Moe

As I mentioned Moe from Exotic Boerboels
was recently appraised at the SABT appraisal in Columbus, Ohio and was scored an astounding 89.9 which makes him eligible for the SABT's elite registry. This registry is reserved for Boerboels of exectional quality. So Moe,to you and your breeder Exotic BoerboelsI raise my glass congratulations.

Regestered Boerboels

Now that the S.A.B.T appraisals are complete Remy and Moe are officially register as South African Boerboels. The S.A.B.T. is very strict about which dogs are accepted for registration. Unlike the A.K.C. a boerboel is not registered at birth, instead they must wait until at least one year of age before they can be considered for registration. The logic behind this is, the S.A.B.T. will only recognize dogs that achieve a minimum appraisal score of 75%. That means that in order to be considered a breeding quality Boerboel a dog must exhibit over 75% of the perfect Boerboel qualities. Remy scored 80% and Moe was an 89.9% they have both been found suitable for breeding purposes as they contribute exceptional Boerboel qualities. This is wonderful news as I mentioned Remy came into heat right before the appraisal so in effect the appraisal day served as a wedding day of sorts because right after the event Remy & Moe went off to begin forming a perfect union. We will know soon if the pairing was successful. visit Exotic Boerboels for info on Remy & Moe liter info and we also have other boerboel puppy liter info available.
