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 is in heat

Although the timing could have been a little better Remy is in fact in heat.
I would have like for her estrus to have started after the appraisals but based upon preliminary information from mock appraisals, I am going to put Remy & Moe together to produce one of the most anticipated Boerboel litters in North America. Remy & Moe are in top physical condition so the mating should be quite simple. Moe and Remy both come from excellent pedigree so this pairing should produce some noteworthy offspring.
More info about this pairing will be available here and at Exotic Boerboels If you are looking for a south African Boerboel based upon pedigree I think you will be quite please with this pairing. Remy and Moe compliment each other in so many ways this pairing is sure to be legendary, particularly here in North America.

Boerboel obedience

This video was extremely fun to shoot. Darris and Remy did a fantastic job. Of course we did it all in one take. Darris has been working with Remy quite a bit and sometimes she gives him a little trouble, I think it has to do with him being the smallest in the house but I am very proud how far both of them have come.

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.

It has been a long summer

It has been a long summer Remy has grown a lot and from what I can see she has really started developing a real personality of her own. Most of the summer was pretty ordinary we spent time at going to the dog park and generally just hanging out. Remy is very well behaved in public and at the homes of out family. When she is at home she has a different mode all together. She is still very well behaved but her protective instincts take hold. On one occasion over the summer I left my front door wide open and I was in the back yard with Remy a friend of mine came over and was at the front door and Remy heard him before I did and it seems like she did and Incredible Hulk transformation, her muscles were rippling as she took off for the front door. When I got there my friend was off of the front porch and easing out of the yard. Remy had taken up her position at the edge of the porch barking and growling like she was possessed. My friend finally got to the sidewalk and Remy turned to me as if to say " I took care of the problem." Needless to say my friend was hesitant to come in the house but he was a good sport and came back onto the porch Remy did not take her eyes off of him she maintained a cool but distant demeanor. From what I have read she acted very Boerboel about the situation and I was very proud of her. All of the things I have read about Boerboels and their temperment had me wondering what type of dog I had. I think I can describe Remy as having a very good if not exceptional temperament, she is a big softy at home with the family and a intimidating beast to those who violate her space.
