I stole this pic from the interwebs because I was much too excited earlier to think of getting pics…. Today I did nails on a whopping 4 South African Boerboels (and at two different houses)! I have not seen a Boerboel in many many years and so of course I was giddy like a school girl and they were all super sweet and well behaved for their pawdicures. I do love me some gigantic dogs, especially the mastiff breeds 🥰
The Boerboel is a large, powerful South African mastiff known for being a loyal, protective, and courageous family guardian, requiring experienced owners for early and consistent training and socialization due to its gigantic size, and dominant, strong-willed nature. They are intelligent, calm, and affectionate with their families, including children, but are naturally wary of strangers and will fearlessly defend their home and people. This breed needs space, a fenced yard, and a confident leader to manage their protective instincts and ensure they are well-adjusted.
