Although many different dog breeds exist, all have their own unique faults which plague them. Hip Dysplasia is probably the most common issue that new owners are concerned with when purchasing any large breed mastiff or dog for that matter!
The ways in which you raise; feed and handle a Boerboel pup are very important for the years that lie ahead of him/her. Genetics are not always at fault and I therefore stress to all possible/ future owners to really orientate themselves with the feeding and husbandry techniques associated with raising a healthy Boerboel puppy.
Dogs should be checked for ectropion/ entropion by a qualified vet and x-rays done no later than 15 months of age so that the issues raised can be taken up with the breeder on an amicable manner. I personally feel that one cannot be held responsible for what happens once the pup leaves my property, yet I am a person of good standing and all queries/problems will be dealt with by me and my vet in a professional manner. I strive to put “function” before “form” as by fully following form I am bound to fail early as a breeder.
