New Zealand Boerboels

NZ Boerboels Welcome to New Zealand Boerboels!! Wow we are so excited that you have found us! We have been breeding giant dogs in New Zealand since 2008.
(1)

We are a family of Mum, Dad and three young children living on a 20 acre lifestyle block about 45 minutes out of Auckland. Over the past few years, we have been discovering the incredible breed named the Boerboel. We have been drawn to the guardian nature, the family bond and functionality of the breed. These are seriously strong, healthy and big dogs. Over the past year, we have taken our interes

t in the breed to the next level. We decided we wanted to start one of the first breeding lines of the Boerboels in New Zealand and begun our journey. For the past few months, we have lived and breathed the breed. To the extend we have been dreaming about them at night : )

Through all our research and contact with the very top breeders in the world, we have now started our program and landed our first breeding female. With the second to be arriving over the next couple of months. We have decided to keep our breeding dams from completely separate bloodlines so we can have at least two completely separate genetic lines going in New Zealand to begin with. Firstly, we have the beautiful Koningin Kira who has safely arrived from Sydney. She has been bred by the famous Ataraxia Kennels. Craig Bloom the breeder, was the first person to bring the Boerboels into Australia many years ago. Kira has been bred for functionality and conformity. We are very excited for our first of many to arrive in New Zealand and now be here with us. We have been blown away by her structure and beauty and her incredible temperament. We are beyond thrilled to say the least. Our second female who will be arriving in the coming weeks will be flying in from the beautiful Brisbane. She is coming from the phenomenal Skystorm Kennels. Her amazing breeder Angela de Villiers has been breeding in Australia for quite some time. She is a very intelligent women with an incredible wealth of knowledge of historic Boerboel bloodlines and fantastic contacts with breeders in South Africa. Our new beautiful girl will be named Te Whakaruruhau Papatūānuku with a call name of Nuku. Her bloodlines from some of the highest appraised Boerboels in the world. We are absolutely ecstatic to have her come and join us here in NZ and help start this incredible breeding program. We have lots more to say about this, after years of research and our absolute love of the breed. So please like and follow along with us on this new journey we embarking on. More details on everything to follow shortly. All the best, Thanks

We are beyond excited to share the pennhip results of our beautiful girl Gladiator Nimhu A Perfect Storm of New Zealand Boerboels.

The reason we’re so excited is….. drum roll please!!!! She got a 0.26 this is a phenomenal score. You will see on the paperwork the green line with the dot is her compared to the grey area which is where 90% of Boerboels worldwide fit.

This means she is officially in the best 5% for hip laxity of any pennhip Boerboel in the world!!!

Watch this space!!! ❤️🇳🇿

Tennessee Whiskeys hip scores are in!!

He has come in at a respectable 0.4 with pennhip they score each hip separately and the overall score is whatever is the highest of the 2 hips.

We’re very happy with these results 😀

Pennhip scores have been done! 😀 Here’s a little bit of information for those of you who are not familiar with hip tests. There are different types of hip tests that are usually performed on dogs. There are the OFA style where a dogs hips are x-rayed in a single position and the X-ray is sent into a panel of specialist radiologists who will look and advise their score. Alternatively there is pennhip. This was developed at Pennsylvania University in the states. This has to be completed by a specialised vet, they take 3 X-rays in particular positions, send this through to Pennsylvania University who inputs the data into specialised software which runs an algorithm and provides a score of hip laxity between 0 and 1. We decided to go with pennhip to make sure we’re getting the most accurate data, to ensure we’re starting out with the best possible dogs. I read recently, to not look at hip scores on a dog is like buying a car without looking under the hood. You will see in nuku’s results the grey area is the average score for the Boerboel. She come in above average for Boerboels so we are happy with that! If you would like to know more about this check it out on Google there is loads of information out there. Stay tuned for more results 🧫🧪

Wow 2024, happy new year everyone! Hope you’re all out enjoying the summer ☀️ This is the big one for us! The next stage of our program. We have started out with the absolute best females. The next stage now is to finish all of our health testing and look for the best males to bring into the program. We have been in talks with breeders internationally to work in together and get the best quality bloodlines from around the world all the way over here to NZ and start producing some pups. We will keep you all posted, all the best and here’s to a great 2024 ❤️🇳🇿
