Time to get to know the puppies: Six : boy #3

All I can say about six is he is definitely a handful. He is by far the most difficult puppy to photograph I have ever seen in my life. He has a nice wide chest and a big head to match he is going to be a very big boerboel. If you live an active life then six may be the pup for you because he is not the one to be left at home. He totally enjoys being around people and thrives on attention. I think he is the one I will miss the most.

time to get to know the puppies: Forrest : Boy # 2

Forrest started off as the biggest mamas boy. In the beginning I thought he was going to be very timid, boy was I wrong!. Forrest is a big teddy bear but he is also very active, I think all of these pups are so active because it was such a small litter and there is not much competition for food or attention. Forrest has always been a loner he prefers to sleep away from the other pups. In fact he was the one that broke out of the area I ad him in and curled up with me on the floor while I was watching television,... a few weeks ago. Just the other pups Forrest is paper trained so house training him should be no problem. I credit this to the intellect of the dog rather than my efforts.

Time to get to know the puppies: Bubkis:: Boerboel Boy #1

What can I say about Bub. He is a very confident male, a boerboel all the way.

He is the girls running mate where u see one the other is not far behind. Until recently they we very hard for me to tell apart. Bubkis has gotten bigger lately so now I know who is who. Bubkis has always been one of the first to do anything he has no fear and is very sociable. He reminds me a lot of my brothers Boerboel Pluto. Among the puppies Bubkis is the first one to play. New sounds do not scare him they simply get his attention.

Time to get to know the puppies : The girl

Remy's boerboel puppies are now 6 weeks old.....,

Finally, only two more weeks to go so now I thought it would be a good time to introduce you to the pups on a one by one basis. I will start with the girl since she is the only lady of the litter. We really do not call her anything except girl since she is unique in that way. She is a vibrant and outgoing female. She is very alert and active. She likes to get out and explore. So far her favorite spot is under my bed. She is cautious in her movements choosing instead to inspect before she moves.
The girl puppy is paper trained and has been for about two weeks now. It amazes me how smart South African Boerboels are!!! Girl likes to have her belly rubbed and will lay there all day for you.

She is going to be just as amazing and fun to watch grow up as Remy I am sure.

The boerboel puppies are now 5 weeks old. There are only three weeks left until they are ready to go to their new homes. Having a South African Boerboel puppy in the house, is an adventure Having Boerboel puppies is another thing entirely.
