Ataraxia Sakina - She cant stop moving literally! Its like she takes 4 Redbulls a day. Grand daughter to Lomin Louw! The lines must be close to the old stuff because I havent seen with so much stamina like this! She just keep going and very light on her feet. We are hoping to use Ataraxia Ronin on her one day to solidify rear angulation.

Boerboel Puppies: Exercise and Hip Development

Should we restrict exercise to protect a Boerboel puppy's growing joints?

A veterinary study of 501 large and giant-breed dogs found that puppies regularly climbing stairs during their first three months had almost twice the odds of developing hip dysplasia.

However, puppies enjoying daily off-leash exercise in natural outdoor environments had 69% lower odds.

The lesson? Allow puppies to explore, walk and play naturally on suitable ground, while limiting repetitive stair climbing during early development.

Healthy development isn't about avoiding exercise. It's about encouraging the right kind of movement.

The study did not specifically include Boerboels, and the findings do not prove cause and effect.

Did you know that how you raise a Boerboel puppy can influence the development and long term health of their hips and joints?

Hip dysplasia is not caused by one single factor. It is a complex, polygenic condition, meaning genetics create a predisposition, while factors such as body weight, nutrition, growth rate and the environment can influence how that predisposition is expressed.

One of the most important things owners can control is body condition.

Growing Boerboels should be kept lean rather than heavy or overfed. Research has shown that rapid weight gain and excessive calorie intake can increase the frequency and severity of hip dysplasia in genetically predisposed dogs.

The developing hip is still forming during puppyhood. If there is hip laxity, excessive movement of the femoral head within the socket can place abnormal forces on the joint. Over time, this can contribute to cartilage damage, inflammation and eventually osteoarthritis.

Exercise is important, but more is not necessarily better.

Young Boerboels should have regular opportunities for natural, self-directed movement and play. Grass, soil and other surfaces with good traction are preferable to slippery flooring. Exercise should gradually increase as the puppy develops.

Excessive forced running, repetitive jumping, long-distance exercise, frequent stairs and other high-impact activities should be avoided during rapid growth.

Keeping a puppy lean does not mean restricting movement. It means allowing the puppy to develop muscle, coordination and bone strength without unnecessarily overloading developing joints.

Genetics remain a major component. Good management cannot eliminate genetic risk, which is why responsible breeding and appropriate hip screening are so important. However, the environment can influence how a genetic predisposition develops and how severe the resulting joint disease becomes.

For a large breed such as the Boerboel, our goal should be simple: slow, steady and lean growth, appropriate nutrition, sensible exercise and plenty of time for the skeleton to mature.
