It is a history I can never forget, for it has shaped this breed into what it is today and allows me to enjoy all that comes with it. This history fuels my passion to promote the Boerboel in the most positive light, built on the firmest of foundations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1019\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/samson-boerboels.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/533631295_763741159608687_2072911242729008536_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1319\" srcset=\"https:\/\/samson-boerboels.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/533631295_763741159608687_2072911242729008536_n.jpg 1019w, https:\/\/samson-boerboels.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/533631295_763741159608687_2072911242729008536_n-300x226.jpg 300w, https:\/\/samson-boerboels.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/533631295_763741159608687_2072911242729008536_n-768x579.jpg 768w, https:\/\/samson-boerboels.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/533631295_763741159608687_2072911242729008536_n-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1019px) 100vw, 1019px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When Jan van Riebeeck settled at the Cape in 1652, he brought with him a large mastiff-type dog which\u2014together with the hardy Africanis\/Khoikhoi dogs\u2014formed the foundation of the breed. By the 1980s, however, the Boerboel had begun to decline. At that time, dedicated men such as Lucas van der Merwe and Jannie Bouwer, together with others, traveled across South Africa in search of the true old-type Boerboel. Out of more than 250 dogs assessed, only 72 were selected. \u201cMany are called, but few are chosen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1983, the SABT was founded \u2013 today known as the South African Boerboel Breeders\u2019 Society (SABBS) \u2013 and in 1987 the first official breed standard was set in stone. In South Africa, the Boerboel is recognized under the Animal Improvement Act as an indigenous breed \u2013 a testament to its functional heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For me, the Boerboel is more than just a dog: it is a companion, a guardian, a symbol of loyalty, heritage, passion, and living history. When people ask me why I breed, the answer is simple: not for financial gain, not for color trends, popularity, or image. I do it for history, for what this breed means to me, and for the love of the Boerboel.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Egy pillanatnyi t\u00f6rt\u00e9nelmi visszatekint\u00e9s a Tuff Stuff Boerboelt\u0151l.
