Basic Description: The Boerboel is a large, strong and intelligent working dog that has been bred in Africa since approximately the 16th century.
Various mastiff-type dogs from Europe as well as large dogs from Africa contributed to the development of the boerboel breed. Typical breed
qualities show remarkable resemblance with the Syrian dogs of the period up to 700 BC.
The Boerboel has a long and illustrious history as one of the outstanding dogs of Africa. Whilst the most recent developments in the breed have
been recorded as having taken place within Southern Africa over the last three hundred and fifty years, the typical characteristics of the breed are
very similar to those demonstrated in contemporary pictures of Assyrian dogs of the period prior to 700 BC.
