    Sorry if this is in the wrong section, but I didn't know where to put it. :blush:
    Has anyone seen one of these or does anyone own one on dogsey? I only ask as i watched a programme on them the other week and i was amazed at how stunning and versatile these dogs are, I've googled them and there is not much info on them really.
    Any info on them would be great xxx

    I absolutely love them

    Such a stunning breed. There used to be a dogsey member Ash who had one but don't think they have been online for years :-( Don't recall anyone else having one but would love to be proved wrong :grin:

    I know there is a breeder in Scotland but as I am no where near Scotland I was hoping to go see one in the flesh just a bit closer to home :lol: , but then i'd want one :shock: :grin: :grin: :grin:

    A friend of mine has 2. They are very powerful dogs, they were orignally used in South Africa for hunting down animals & people! They have a very strong guarding instinct which if the breeder is repsonsible should make you sign a contract stating if the dog shows any sign of agression then you must have it destroyed. Beautiful dogs but a bit too big for me.

    I had looked into getting one years ago,, we heard about them as my mate came from SA, but we decided to go for the rotties, the pups we had looked into were sadly born in quarantine, they were very nervous, more so of things like, hovers, washing machines, It really put me off the litter,, but not the breed, I just felt there wasnt the right litter for me at the time,,

    Exremely powerful, almost primitive working breed. Definately not for a novice owner, can be incredibly aggressive in the wrong hands, in fact lethal.

    I think they share some history with the Rhodesian Ridgeback, stunning but has to be in the right hands :)

    Oh Shona ... if there ever is a right litter for you I will be camped in your back garden...me OH and Ben and our tent will be your new tenants LOL :lol: :lol: :shock:

    No seriously, LOVE them but I know that realistically I would be a LONG LONG LONG way away from ever having the experience, however next best thing is...a Boerbel in Larbert!!! :grin: :grin: :grin:

    Yes, these dogs are gorgeous, i love the look of them
    but then i have a soft spot for mastiff type and bull breed dogs.

    There is a good UK website,
    it has lots of pics and some vids of the dogs playing, puppies etc...

    There dogs are absolutely stunning !!
