🟥 Dogo Argentino Wild Boar Test 🇦🇷

*Viewer Discretion Advised*

📜 «El mejor perro entre todos los perros de presa y el de más presa entre todos los perros del mundo.» —Dr. Antonio Nores Martínez

ℹ️ It is not a “hunting dog” in the truest sense of the word (many breeds out there have a superior “nose,” etc.); it is not a “fighting dog,” per se; it is a Dogo Argentino—the best catch dog ever created in modern history.

📖 In Argentina, hunting wild boar and puma (also known as cougar or mountain lion) with the Dogo Argentino is a traditional practice rooted in cultural heritage. These animals pose significant threats to crops, livestock, pets, and, occasionally, humans, causing both direct physical damage and the spread of diseases.

🟥 Presa Canario vs. Boar in South Korea — Part 2 🇰🇷

*Viewer Discretion Advised*

ℹ️ Even under controlled conditions and against a relatively unchallenging opponent, the Presa fails to gain any type of control—it never truly engages.

📜 Though a handful of people around the world use Presas for catch work and promote them as catch dogs, these dogs don’t excel at it. This is because, despite bearing the name “Presa” (meaning “catch,” “capture,” etc., in Spanish), the Perro de Presa Canario was never truly a catch dog historically—and it shows.

🟥 The Presa Canario: A “Presa” Dog in Name Only? Presa Canario vs. Docile Boar in South Korea 🇰🇷

*Viewer Discretion Advised*

ℹ️ The Presa Canario featured in this video is King de Álvaro, a dog imported from Tenerife to South Korea. The clip showcases what’s labeled a “wild boar test.” However, the boar used in this test is tame, nonaggressive, and never once attempts to bite or defend itself—traits entirely contrary to those of a truly wild boar put under such conditions.

Even under such controlled conditions, and against an unchallenging opponent, the Presa fails to gain full control and makes repeated mistakes—errors that would be fatal in a real hunt against a genuinely wild boar, an animal known for being extremely aggressive and dangerous when under stress.

📜 Though a handful of people around the world use Presas for catch work and promote them as catch dogs, these dogs don’t excel at it.

This is because, despite bearing the name “Presa” (meaning “catch,” “capture,” etc., in Spanish), the Perro de Presa Canario was never truly a catch dog historically—and it shows.

🟥 The Boerboel: A Living Piece of South African Heritage 🇿🇦

📖 Origin

This breed was developed by White farmers (Boers) in South Africa as early as the 1600s, primarily to protect their remote farms and families from predators and intruders, and to assist in big-game hunting—all while enduring harsh conditions. Centuries later, beginning in the 1920s, Boerboels were also employed to guard diamond mines.

📜 Denomination

The name “Boerboel” derives from the Afrikaans/Dutch words “boer” (farmer) and “boel.” In this context, “boel” is primarily understood as a shortened form of “boelhond,” meaning bulldog.

📜 Ancestry

The Boerboel’s ancestry is somewhat debated, but it is believed to have evolved from a mix of:

• Large guarding dogs brought by White farmers from Europe to the region, including mastiff-type dogs like the “Bullenbijter” (the Dutch term for the extinct German Bullenbeisser, also called the German Bulldog or simply bull-biter), which arrived with Jan van Riebeeck in 1652, as well as English Bulldogs and Bullmastiffs introduced in later centuries.

• Indigenous African landrace breeds.

• Its lineage likely includes the Great Dane in its early functional form and other dogs, though exact origins are unclear due to limited historical records. All these dogs were interbred and adapted to the harsh environment of South Africa.

Through centuries of selective breeding for various qualities and attributes in a harsh environment, the Boerboel became the formidable “farmer’s dog,” as it came to be known—until the breed’s worldwide popularization led to negative consequences for its quality.

📜 Breed Recognition

By the 20th century, the breed faced decline but was revived and formalized in the 1980s by a group of farmers who sought to preserve its unique characteristics through dedicated breeding programs.
