Hi Paul and welcome to the board.
Hope you'll enjoy it even though most of us probably can't live up to your experience!

Thank you for the welcome . I always expect to learn new things about a variety of breeds, in the hope that what i learn can be of use to me when ever i have dogs come in for training.
What disappoints me , is the fact that many NBowerboel breeders/owners do not do more training with their breeds. There are many venues out there that can be used to test your breeding stock or your dog . By venues i don't mean CGC @ 6 months , that proves little as to the character of a mature Boerboel, or the ATTS teperament test , that also doesnot prove much , when the dogs sre young.
I have tested many Boerboels , some good & many more not, but the unworthy are still being bred , i assume $$$$ is a=the main concern.
I must realize i cannot help those that do not want to be helped.

Paul; I think your last post is an interesting discussion and therefore I will copy and paste it onto the general board instead were I believe it's more appropriate.

Hope you don't mind!
