People that have/had boerboel (south african mastiff)?

Krisley- I don' thave one, but have spoken to breeders at length at various shows I have been to in Canada. I can p on some information they have given me. They tend to be one person dogs, esp. the females. They tend to be same-gender dog aggressive, not necessarily good with families/small children unless they are socialized with them from the first. They need a firm, experienced owner, high levels of obedience training, and constant socialization. They have not been bred to be "pets" (as opposed to working dogs) for long enough for these issues to be resolved through breeding so they must be addressed through behavior training and modification.
