South African Mastiff (Boerboel) 1st Protection testing

[SonsOfLiberty65]

16 dislikes come from 16 jealous pit bull owners 

[salemsidelines]

Is this a brachycephalic breed? I'm looking for something that can survive tropical or desert climates with a large jaw.

[Sanghoma]

@salemsidelines I had 2 of them in Zimbabwe in a tropical/ semi arid environment and the coped with the heat very well, they need a lot of water and a load of food and a good deal of exercise, but were bred as farm dogs/guard dogs in a very hot country so I think you'll have no problem there, as for the jaw..... they dont come much stronger than this

[TheAnandaXX]

Just wondering what might happen to the guy with the sleeve if you lost the grip on the lead. Would the dog attack the guy or would it listen to you and stop. Nice looking dog

[Dacpboyz]

nice dog

[Slurig]

The man with the bitearm has no idea what his doing... The dog just open the mouth and the arm is there... The dog shall go for the arm not the arm for the dogs mouth...

[TheShaft1000]

dont mess with anyone holding a dog whoms average weight is 150-200lbs

[Dominique6586]

I hope he doesnt think every person has that bITE PROTECTION on or your screwed lmaoo

[gringasalsera]

This was very interesting to watch as I own Fila Brasileiros. The dog didn't back down which speaks to good breeding and a strong nervous system. The only "negative" comment I'm going to make is IMO the decoy should have had a whip, and as soon as the dog got the sleeve have the decoy come back at the dog with the whip snapping to prevent the dog from getting "sleeve happy". It teaches the dog that the human is the object not the sleeve.

[KybaHaus]

Beautiful Dog. Well trained. Good Job.

[XjessymoeX]

i hope you thought sultan to release on cue otherwise it could get very messy in a real situation.

[SSCUltimateWoman]

These dogs are so beautiful and powerful...you are lucky to have one.

[Taud]

If only these dogs were common, closest thing here is a mastiff mix

[scruffblackie]

Well done for teaching your dog to lash out at new or unexpected events. This is why large breeds are at risk of specific banning legislation. Controlled agression is still agression and what tests do you do to establish the suitability of the owners.

[MrYuusufdheere]

@scruffblackie I developed new breed cross between Bully kutta and boer boel. Bully Boel is the best dog.

[Sayian5]

Wow very impressive! Never seen one in England im from the North West London....any breeders?

[goldfitter1]

yesterday i walked with my american stafford and i saw 3 boerboel and 1 dogo argentino wow it whas amazing to see those 5 playing :D what a perfect dog sweet when your owner trust you but agressive when he you dont trust the attacker !

[Back2Dixie]

Excellent Animal !! I have been planning on getting one and will do so when my Home is built in Tennessee on my 30 Acreas. THX for a great video!

[bazman85]

@itsaboerboelthing What the fuck is this comment about, you cant teach your dog how much of the "intruders" arm to put into his mouth...... what a fucking stupid comment. How about you put all of your arm in your dogs mouth then flick his nuts with a toffee hammer...maybe that will help?

[BluntActivist2008]

@SG02JATT For intelligence and trainability - definitely a german shepherd. I love boerboels, but they are not the most trainable breed in the world, but if all you need is protection in the home, then a boerboel is fine. Although I personally prefer Fila brasileiro or caucasian ovcharka. They are one notch more intense towards strangers in my opinion. Maybe even two notches :)

[shootstrait44]

@bazman85

I see your another one of the many rocket scientist who can't grasp and understand a simple question. If you knew anything about this sort if thing you would have understood the question. Dumb ass

[TheChamberofFarts]

i love boerboles they are so funny mine makes all sorts of funny noises and when he wants affection he sounds like a lil puppy

[titanbuck7]

Look, retards with dogs! They just taught that dog to attack ppl and drag the owner around on the end of a leash. Good work!

[TheMrmadman62]

Please get rid of that awful song so people can watch this without wanting to vomit

[odjazdowicz]

wow rly impressive your dog is walking 1,5 meters in front of your, looks like he is your master and you are his dog, total domination, another example of weak person who cant deal with strong dog breed, gratz, i bet every money your dog is 100% unhappy

[KaptainKnotty]

Two words man Great Job!! this is one of the best Boerboel training videos i have ever seen. Keep up the good training and congrats on having a well trained Boerboel you have deserved it.

[dirtyfunky86]

I've got a 9 week old Boerboel and I've been looking at different types of training for him when he's old enough. I can safely say he'll be trying Schutzhund. The amount of control these guys have over their dogs is amazing!

[toritotuti]

hahahaha! that dog is great! wish my horse could do that! dogs are the best!

[pitbullmad007]

do you breed these dogs if you do please reply and give the next details for next breeding because i am interested in a pup

[GrappyFlappy]

Check it out on google you'll find a breeder. I warn you these dogs get huge

[Typhoon792]

how are they going to tell the difference between some regular guy and a real threat?  This bugs me. I have a Boerboel. Best dog ever. And he's smart enough to know on his own. What you guys are doing I don't know.

[bulldogger71]

@Typhoon792 You don't know, so at least look into it before you tell someone they shouldn't be doing training with their dog.

[Typhoon792]

@bulldogger71 For some reason all that crossed my mind reading your response is "Shut up". That's unusual.. I usually have some feedback to give whether negative or positive. It seems like you were just itching to say something. W/e. Ok, sure I will *rolls eyes*

[Typhoon792]

@bulldogger71 Same here. And the song wasn't really to be a tribute - it was supposed to match the story I was trying to tell between Trunks and Vegeta and it wasn't bad.

I didn't even say so much as for there to be something to respond to. I was just confused on some things, whether they're right, and then what further. At least you don't seem to be stupid either...

[xavinori]

Que manera de joder la boca de un buen perro!!!!!!!!!!

[MrCajun90]

Hey man where did you get that boerboel from? I want one like him

[WorkingBB]

Much Respect to you for taking the time to PP Test your dog, be willing to share it with others that they might be able to learn something from it, then being honest about what the test revealed to you about your dog.

I refer folks to your TESTING Video often.. & you aren't alone w/ people not understanding the concept. LOL -I posted a PP Testing video awhile back & a ton of folks commented on the dog's lack of control too.. they just don't know any better.

Again, Props to you!!

[aytan1malka]

Thanks for your coments, it's nice to know someone understands. Just cliked on ur name and viewed your video's. Great stuff!

[morningwaters]

Awesome video, it was one of the influences that made me get a Boerboel myself. Getting another one this spring, a female though. Not for breeding though, to many people doing it now already.

How old would you suggest they be before you start protection training? My boy is almost a year and so far he is a good protector, but still needs work on his confidence. Just awesome dogs though, I am hooked on the breed for sure. Nice work.

[mrbooger33333]

Awsome dog, we're planning on getting one when buy our dream house way out in the mountains!

[aytan1malka]

Sounds lovely, you can't go wrong with a good Boerboel.

[mrbooger33333]

One question. We have 3 other dogs. A 50lb male pit, a 80lb male boxer/shepard mix, and a 40 lb female coydog all fixed and between 3 and 7 years old. We were think of a boerboel in about a year cuz were buying a house on 4 acres in the mountains and they seem like they awsome dogs in every way. Think the dogs would get along?

[SG02JATT]

@aytan1malka

for intelligence and trainability would you recomend a boerboel or a german shepherd

[cleveland393]

Awesome gaurd dog and a beautiful example.

[aytan1malka]

Thank you very much.

[Suestorm69]

I own dutchies and boels. I do ringsport with the dutchies. This dog had a horrible bite only using the end of its nose and a little bit of canines, not getting a good deep bite, played tug of war and kept loosing focus of the sleeve (when released) to eyeball the person, all a bad combo for protection training. I do agree that this dog should not persue high pressure protection work and should stay at home and guard as he was designed. This is the difference of a thinking and reacting breed.

[aytan1malka]

Hence why this was a protection TESTING. Boerboel's are making the grade as protection dogs we can only know if our own dogs can by testing them.

[bluegama500]

@aytan1malka Is this all natural protection instincts we are seeing in this video?

I would like to know if they are a reliable protection dog. They are very nice looking dogs thats for sure, they look very natural and healthy. Probably due to their natural-selection kind of history.

[edtri19]

@aytan1malka At the end of the day though, that dog will still protect you with a shallow bite + his presence alone will be enough of a deterrent. He reminds me a lot of my bullmastiff

[mitsupitsu44]

@Suestorm69 i am confused with your comment, which breed has no deep bite and looses focus on the sleeve?? And what do you mean with dutchies?? i presume the dutch shepherd,right??

[primate2box]

I am interested in the mastiff and would like to know the basic difference between the South African and the Italian breeds. Which make better guard dogs ,especially when other dogs are involved.

[aytan1malka]

I cant speak about the italian mastiff but the Boerboel was bred from a number of western mastif type breeds and african dogs to specificaly gaurd the whole family without being a vicious dog. The boerboel also worked on the farm with cattle and protected them from wild animals. Its not so much the breed as it is the breeder, the dogs parents and the way the dog is brought up and trained. If you want a gaurd dog you need to be specific with the breeder.

[xXxValiant1xXx]

If it was just a temperment test it doesn't mean that it was unsuitable for protection. You'd need to see how the dog responds to a non-aggressive decoy. The decoy was being v. aggressive and the dog responded. Fact is, it showed fantastic defense, but you'd want to test its stability also. I'm under the assumption that it has had no training before? I don't want to argue but I like the dog already. I have an 11y.o. Belgian Mal. import so I'm not new to this. He's napping at my feet right now.:)

[aytan1malka]

Thanks for your very knowlegable comment. Infact part of the test included Sultan reacting to a non-aggressive decoy. It was here he failed badly as he now recognised the decoy he just wanted to kill him regardless of the threat. this plus other reasons we stopped protection training. As I keep saying he is a superb gaurd and the best freind anyone could have! thanks again for your comment.

[amar455]

How much would this breed cost me if i wanted a male pup on average how much do they cost

[RommelGrim]

Good Luck !!

[aytan1malka]

Ratter15 thanks for your comment. As our video clearly states this was a protection testing not training. The difference being testing allows the dog freedom of action for us to evaluate his behaviour. Based on his actions we decided protection work was not for him. If we were protection training we would of course as standard prioritise control.

[RATTER15]

Im with MrCanine9 with this, I saw absolutely no control over this dog, teaching a dog like this to be aggressive with so little control is a very dangerous dog, Man it was pulling you along the ground!!! Try getting some control instead of just aggression!!! Surely the control of the dog comes before the aggression training!!!

[MrCaninek9]

would have liked to have seen some control. ie recalling the dog off the sleeve instead of the dog winning every time.

[knightmadz]

Great video, great dog, like the website too, just wondering why your dog didn't pass the personal protect grade because he looks to have done well in this video. Im undecided about which one of these 4 dogs i want: Boerboel, Cane Corso, dogue de boardex or rottweiler.

[Stranglethroat]

You just listed my favorite dogs!

I would have all four, but then you need Cesar Milan to come live with you!

;D

[knightmadz]

LOL that was so funny! Good joke :D

[aytan1malka]

hehehe, I second that.  I really lke the Dog Whisperer

[aytan1malka]

Thanks for your comments! Sultan is a great Guard dog but didnt quite make the grade as a personal protection dog. As far as what dog to get all the dogs you mention are good, the key to getting a good dog is researching the breeder. Personally I would always choose the Boerboel.

[MrOolah]

Beautiful lookin dog...tho it looks like a FAT Rhodesian...but with a worse temprement..love Big dogs and its first ive heard of a Boerboel...i been to South Africa n only saw Staffordshire Bulls,Ridgebacks n German Shepards...

[gilfootball]

Boerboels are good, period. Not super as every dog's owner want their dog to be, but Boerboels are good. However, this particular one in the video needs to work on a more balanced and calm bite. Of course he's a young learning dog, but issues such as stability must be addressed quickly. I'd like to see another video on this dog, but for now I think his biting and aggression come from fear.

[aytan1malka]

Thanks for your coment. I agree with what you say. Boerboels are good dogs. Sultan is my dog and so to me he is super. As a protection dog Sultan did not make the grade hence why there are no more video's. As a gaurd dog he has truly proved his worth.

[micschumi2]

somme kak getoets. maak d hond los dan sien ons testing...

[aytan1malka]

? can you transalate please.

[TheChamberofFarts]

im getting a male pick of the litter imported from africa by Baden Boerboels should be here by the 10th of Sept

[aytan1malka]

great! All the best with him.

[BubSmith66]

these dogs are by fall the most badass dog ever!

[Moneygetjealous]

these dogs are by far* the most badass dog ever

[madRHCPfan]

My husband and I have given serious consideration to adopting a Boerboel into our family and have done considerable research into the breed, videos like yours have helped us come to the conclusion that these beautiful and intelligent dogs will most certainly suit the love/protection/companionship needs of our family (My husband works away) the protection testing is necessary, it is paramount that with such a powerful dog that you know what it's capabilities are, cheers Aytan! Sultan is adorable

[aytan1malka]

Thanks for your nice comment. All the best with your search for a Boerboel

[Karadenizpiskopat]

Boerboel is a turkish Kangal [ Karabas] its the 1 dog who can kills leopard, Wolves, and another big cats.. he has the strongest musculature from the dogs ;) africa buyed this kind of dogs because of them ;)

[aytan1malka]

Kangal is a great dog but it is not a Boerboel. Both are good dogs used in simular but still different enviroments. No one breed is best, it is the individual dog, many breeds have great dogs.

[martianluther]

lots of idiotic comments about the boerboel. This is the best breed of big dogs. if you ever owned one, you would know why. Good testing so far. Looks like he's living up to the snuff of a South African Mastiff. bravo

[aytan1malka]

Thank you

[aytan1malka]

No you thick idiot you have no idea. Protection testing, do you brain cells not understand? We are allowing the dog freedom to react how he would naturally to see wether he has the ability to protect we are not making him do anything, he is free to react however he wants. Based on his reactions we would determine wether or not he can become a protection dog. I'm not replying to anymore of your dumb ass comments

cause they are full of crap and I would be wasting my time.

[choosechristianity24]

Protection for what???..............

I know dog psychology. You are encouraging aggressive/excited behaviour and this is wrong. You are going to create problems. This breed is the most protective dog breed and was bred to guard the homestead... So, if any harm were to come to you or your family, the dog would sense this and its' natural instincts would kick in. No need for testing and training sorry. Do your research.

[aytan1malka]

HAHAHAHAHA, well at least you made me laugh.. You know nothing. Did you quickly visit a few boerboel websites to get that little bit of information? Listen you thick idiot although the breed was bred to gaurd amongst other things not all Boerboels excel in gaurd or protection duties, just as some GD's dont make good police dogs. The only way to know is to test them. YES THATS RIGHT, TEST THEM.

[gargola18]

you right there is no need for that...lol...but ithink he was ust trying to show off his dog XD

[CWA1982]

NO!!!!!!!!! u have no idea...theres no need 2 make ANY dog aggressive...no need at all its ppl like u who cause proplems with dogs .

[CWA1982]

all ur doing is making ur dog aggressive u halfwit, and u leting him be the pack leader and thats not good. noob

[aytan1malka]

Listen sunshine watch your mouth. I don't mind people making a point but there is no need for crap like that. If you knew anything about the Boerboel you would know they see the whole family as the pack leader, they certainly see us as that. Take time to read and understand before making dumb ass comments

[sidelinesidelines]

Looks like a Tosa or a Fila and will probably die out like them because American Bulldogs dominant weight pull and Schutzhund. Be American, buy American.

[BrottarbrallanIV]

The Bulldog's a product of Europe. Like Mercedez .

[Karadenizpiskopat]

bulldogs? kangal [boerboel] is so much bigger and sooo much stronger its the first dog who can kill leopards and wolves.. bulldog can kill rats or so.. and then people buys kangals for protection not pitbulls or bulldogs.

[gargola18]

lol those dog arent as great as a boerboel nothing in america is better than stuff from other countriesXD

[gilfootball]

I couldn't agree more with your statment as far as dogs.

[CABSS1973]

sorry, I love the video but in roman numeric 4th is IV not IIII. hahahaha

[lilstaffy]

i wonder if a boerboel can pull more weight then a pitbull?

[aytan1malka]

There are some Boerboel's in USA that do weight pulling but the champs are still the pits when it comes to weight pulling.

[librano]

we have a boerboel... probably the best dog we've had! intelligent... friendly to those who he needs to be friendly with.... i mean i can take a bone out of his mouth... but he is fierce with those he needs to scare away... brilliant guard dog...

only one problem... he hates the heat... so he's always in the room with the air condition haha

[SurfBodDave]

Stunning dog , would like to get one at some point but i think i might get some experience with some smaller protection dogs 1st, because that thing looks like a powerhouse.

[Beer035]

For defence they are perfect. They used to protect farms in South Africa against lions

1 of the most strongest dogs in the world

[67goldtop]

Beer035

"for defense they are perfect." THAT is truly funny.

[ShotCallz]

WHY?

[Back2Dixie]

@Beer035 Not all they protected against...lol

[Tiger786A]

very nice dog man

[aytan1malka]

many thanks

[cardnell55]

how much do these dogs go for?

[dayav07]

Omg, these dogs have power. I have a brother and sister boerboel/lab and they're strong. And theyre anly 10months!!

[TheVillain]

I dont think a Boerboel "needs" protection training, but any dog should be trained. You need to know that in the event of an incident your dog is controllable and you know how to read and anticipate your dog. you have to put the dog into a bite situaiton to 1. know that it will bite 2. teach it where and how to bite 3. teach it to let go this keeps your dog from mauling the hell out of someone for 10 minutes while you scream and pry it off, and then you get charges filed against you for it.

[melo15813]

ha LOL

[EnormousHuntBall]

Nice dog, a bit of a puller but I'm sure he'll calm down as training progresses, he certainly has a good defensive drive.

:)

[aytan1malka]

many thanks

[matt28021995]

We have a boerboel at home and he is so gentle. If someone he doesn't know is the gate he'll bark but when we get to the gate he'll calm down once he knows that it's fine. Good watch dogs. I think that a boerboel is a good choice for a dog.

[dosthillMandem]

iv been thinking about getting a boerboel for ages now

the thing that puts me off is if my mates come round n it attacks them

[jukkaman24]

they the gentlest ( i know i hav one he name is fred fred :)

[AbbyHawkins1985]

wow what a stunning dog! I owned a male bullmastiff and trained him 2lunge and bark if u tensed the lead, wen i was out for a walk with him! 5lads approched me and told me 2hand him over! He barked and lunged on command till they were out of view, I was petrified at the time, after he just developed a thing about men walking past us and would tense up and put himself between me and the male! I trusted that dog with my life!do u no ne uk breeders? Good luck with ur training!

Abby

[jrowe6]

thats a badass dog

[500passwords]

you dont need to train a boerboel to protect your family . i have one . all there doings is making him dangerous.

[aytan1malka]

Thanks for your comment and opinion. doing protection training proved to be a real benefit in our case as it made sultan a much more calm and rounded out dog.  not all boerboels are natural gaurds and also gaurding and protection are actually two different things. Our female boerboel Zeeba is a natural watch dog, neither a gaurd or a protection dog. Do you have an video's or pictures of your boerboel on you tube? kind regards

[kreeperrock]

I agree they are all very different things. And it all depends on the guards generall personality, problems arise when you train a dog that isnt suited to furfilling the task you require.

[kreeperrock]

i.e trainin a dog that has naturaly agresive temperment is probably a bad idea you want to focus on genral obedience with a dog like that,so you can control its natural agresion rather than excentuating its agresive tendencies and thus creating a dangerous dog. basically just leave it to profesionals we get paid well for a reason its not just physically training its understanding their temperment and personality and choosing the ideal tasks for them and the most effective training methods to use

[aytan1malka]

Many Thanks for your coments. I agree with what you say.

[kreeperrock]

Np gorgeous dog btw, don't see them here in Northern Irelnd very similar to bullmastiff in appearance though. Whats the general breed temperment like similar to that of a bullmastiff, rottie?

[BluntActivist2008]

I agree. A boerboel doesn't need to be protection tested. Should the need for protection ever arise, the dog will protect instinctually regardless.

[ElHanko]

But it needs to be able to be called off, otherwise, if it kills somebody it will be destroyed.

[jrowe6]

are you grouping defensive tendencies into the "Aggression" catagory? i agree if a dog has the tendency to attack you shouldnt train it to do so, quite the opposite. but i believe its a good thing to train a guardian type dog how to follow commands during an altercation. otherwise if he/she is ever in a situation where he/she feels threatened or feels like the family or property is under attack the dog wont listen. a good guard dog can be called off without hesitation. do we agree?

[hpfreaksic]

Very nice BB. Got a 15 months old male. No one can get on my property and if they do they never gonna run away. Amazing watch dogs. :)

[aytan1malka]

yes they really are good guards. just their size act as a good deterent. thanks for your comment

[0powerhouse]

BEAST!

[aytan1malka]

he really is a gentle giant. many thanks
