Why the S.A.B.T appraisal is important to me

   Many people attend the appraisals for many different reasons, here I will detail my own.
The number 1 most important reason to for me to attend the Borboel Appraisal is the opportunity to see other Boerboels. The South African Boerboel is what is known as a rare breed, here in the states, it is so rare that very few people have even heard of the breed let alone seen one.  I really like Boerboels and I would like to see more of them around. I think more Boerboel specific events should be planned. I n fact heeding my own advice I am going to start looking into something for the spring '10. So be on the look out for Borboelpalooza
    The appraisal are a very intregal part of the plan for anyone who breeds or is thinking about breeding South African Boerboels. It is the only way U.S. breeders can see how their dogs measure up against dogs bred in S. Africa. My dogs have made the commitment to come in in the best shape of their lives.

House training

Wow!! It seems like things are happening so fast.
We have been working on housebreaking Remy using the crate method as I mentioned before, things were going well then not so well but that is what I expected but I blame us (the family) because when she started doing so well we got away from our program of taking her out at scheduled times and did not pay enough attention to the signals she was sending at potty time. So I should rename my previous entry people and puppy training. I now know it is just as important to develop and stick to expectations for everyone in the house. i have not noticed anymore of the involuntary leaking around the house and my assumption is that Remy has become more comfortable and confident in her own environment and the people she shares it with.
To clean up the spots where Remy used the potty in the house we have been using a product called Urine Off and I think it has help prevent her from marking and peeing in the house. That along with the praise when she performs her business properly has made things begin to roll along smoothly again. Hopefully things will continue and we can call the housebreaking a success.
Remy has been spending more time outside of the crate as a result of her good manners and last night as I was laying down on the couch to watch t.v. she seemed to be tired and automatically went to her crate. I am going to leave the crate in the house for a few more weeks and then I am going to remove it and leave her bedding so hopefully she will know that is her spot.
