Hello everyone,

I have 2 female 1 year old Boerboels available to an approved home. I did not produce them, they came from a friend and Friend @ Blazen Boerboels. These two are on the small side, but very athleticlly built. One Red and the other light fawn. Named Cinnamon and Sugar. They can go separate or together as they do enjoy each other.

They will need time and effort. They went almost a full year of life with very limited exposure to things. They have come a long way but will take patience and understanding to help them adapt in a new home. Once you have their trust, they are sweet and affectionate. Will be skiddish at first.

Perfect family pet where they will be a part of the family. They gave showed zero aggression and are quite submissive in nature. Get along with most other dogs, really dominant or hyper dogs so stress them out a bit, but could be worked on I think.

Send me a message for more information.

U.S. ONLY PLEASE.

Good afternoon folks. Throwing out a reminder post that we are still trying to help a fellow breeder find new homes for some nice pups. The "fee" is set to move these guys and is a great opportunity to get a fantastic pup at a great value.

Been quiet on this page, but rest assured we haven't stopped working over here!

In addition to the puppies we are working with and helping to place from a friend and fellow breeder, we have also been continuing our journey with Triton and our goal of a PSA 1 title.

Here are some pictures of the "fun" stuff bite work from our weekend decoy camp two weeks ago. His OB is coming along VERY nicely as well. Very excited to see where he is by next year. Goal is trialing and earning his title by end of next year.

If you have questions about anything, or are interested in learning more about our program or about the available puppies not produced by us, please send us a message!

Thank you Crouse Canine and Vindictive Working Dogs for all the work in helping to build this monster!

“Black” Collar
This boy is a nice well-rounded pup, perfect for the first-time owner and adaptable to a faster or slower household. More independent that much of his siblings, would make a good farm dog. Not the most dominant, but confident. This pup would also do very will with children and other animals!

Hello all, I'll be sharing several videos of puppies bred by a friend and fellow breeder. These pups are extremely well bred and come with everything you'd expect in a quality pup.

Black collar 2:
This Boy will do awesome for someone new to the breed as a first time Boerboel owner as he is going to be less challenging and dominant than most and would do well with kids and other animals. This guy also has the distinct honor of being one of the nicest structured pups I have seen. Very well put together. He will not be your sport dog, or the toughest temperament but will absolutely be your best friend and loyal family member!

Hello everyone!

You will be seeing some update posts here over the next few days and beyond. Very excited to let you all know we are still here and working towards a bright future!

Triton pictures here before his training session this past Tuesday. Many more to come!

Always a good idea. We do this here for every meal.

💦 Sharing again because I think it's super important! 💦

Adding liquids to your dogs kibble is important in helping them stay hydrated, especially with summer weather hot on our heels! 🥵

Not every dog likes soaked kibble (Halo refuses to touch her food if I add water) and that's okay! You can try adding ice cubes if this is the case.

Remember to always have water accessible, whether your dog enjoys soaked kibble or not. All of my dogs have their own pails kept filled with fresh water in their kennels to ensure they have water available at all times. This also makes it easy for me to know who is drinking water (and how much) and who isn't.

Stay hydrated! 😁

💦 HYDRATION 💦

Hydrating your dog is something so simple but it's actually so overlooked and most people don't think about hydrating when it comes to meal times.

If your dog is eating a kibble diet, they are more prone to dehydration. This is because the dry kibble requires moisture for digestion. When your dog is not adequately hydrated, the body pulls water from the internal organs to digest the kibble and this can lead to the state of mild dehydration. Even if they are drinking throughout the day, the digestion process pulls water from their system after eating.

One of the best and easiest thing you can do as a kibble feeder is HYDRATE YOUR DOGS FOOD!

Adding water to kibble softens it for digestion and hydrates your dog's body systems.

Great options to hydrate kibble include
💧Filtered Water
💧Coconut Water
💧Bone Broth
💧Goat's Milk
💧Decaffeinated Green Tea (aids in cancer prevention)

Quick Tip - you can freeze all of the above in trays or silicone molds and then pop out a cube or two and melt with hot water at meal time!

*Always give your dog access to fresh water at all times

*Always rest your dog after eating any meal. Never exercise your dog immediately after eating due to risk of bloat.

Love this dog! Triton is coming along nice, just takes time. Gotta remind myself!
...takes time...takes time...takes time... LOL

Thank you Crouse Canine for the work at Benton Harbor bites with Crouse Canine and thank you to Vindictive PSA and Divinity K9 for hosting! Love you all!

P.S. Sorry Derek Crouse for the "bleeps", love ya brother!

Triton at 20 months old and learning. I love this dog.

This dog right here is a prime example of a dog that cannot be "bought" with a positive only or "force free" training style.

He is not afraid, he is not in any way intimidated. He is dominant, confident through and through, and has grown accustomed to getting his way and has learned that biting gets him what he wants. Notice he in no way avoids the confrontation. Notice his hackles are not up, he's comfortable in his own skin, in an unfamiliar environment, around unfamiliar people. He is clearly displaying "I will gladly show you who's boss". The bite that occurs is forward, not backward. It doesn't bite and retreat.

This dog is a "unicorn" as dogs like this to this degree are more rare than you think, but it's surprising how many Boerboels are "unicorns" in this way.

This dog would be one that the so called "veterinary behaviorists" might very likely tell you to put this dog down. Tools that the positive only community would like to see banned, can literally be the reason dogs like this get a second chance because they safely give us the ability to provide structure, without the need to confront the dog with physically powerful muscles and can remove the association of handler correction (e-collars). We need to stop banning things that simply "could" be used incorrectly, and instead invest into proper education of how to use them to save the lives of dogs like this one.

K9 Pro and Steve Courtney Dog Training are known all over Australia and beyond come see why...

There is a lot of controversy in the dog training community right now regarding training methods and the use of certain training tools that some feel a strong distain for.

Let me say this.... We have a responsibility to our dogs, our community, our family, and ourselves, to do right by how we train our dogs because it can have a range of consequences from very minor, to quite severe. As the size of this breed is quite substantial and holds a lot of power, these consequences are magnified and unfortunately often held up to a higher.... and frankly bias standard because of the way they look.

The "Scientific community" wants to suggest that certain tools or methods are not only unnecessary, but unethical. Let's be clear, ANY tool can be used improperly and be used in a way that is inhumane. However, the proper use of ANY tool, done with the purpose of having a reliably trained animal that is not only a healthy member of society, but an asset to your family, is something that should be encouraged, taught properly, and not looked down upon. The fact that there are so-called "expert organizations" on animal phycology that are trying to tell us what tools we can and cannot use, who have zero experience themselves training dogs for any purpose, and offer no support if you end up on the other side of a legal battle, is someone's advice worth a grain of salt.

After 7 months off, we have been getting back at it. I wanted to share this video of Triton "re" learning some fundamentals.

Too often people only want to show their "impressive" dogs, biting equipment that is worn by the decoy. They are embarrassed to show what led to that point for fear their dog won't look good, or worse, they jumped straight to a sleeve or other, and have created a mess of a dog in the work. Well, to the untrained person, this video will look like we aren't doing anything related to biting a person, but to those who know, this video is poetry. Triton is learning soooo much in this video that will help translate to quality grips, and deep hard bites on other equipment down the road. I will say that the leather bite pillow is probably one of the most underrated and underutilized pieces of equipment we can use to build a dog into a true bite-sport competitor or personal protection animal.

Lastly, this video shows that Triton has the drive we were looking for. He doesnt require agitation to get him engaged in the work like so many of his breed in sport work do. Part of that is quality work he has received from the decoys who work him. The other part is the goal of our program to produce more prey drive in our pups. He is happy to work, without needing to tap into his defense.
