Written by Anemari Pretorius Someone once told me that they had read in some dictionary or other that the boel part of the name Boerboel means a lot of dog. I was unfortunately unable to trace this particular definition, but if I were to create my own dictionary I am almost positive that this would be my description as well, only more so. According to the 1987 edition of the Verklarende Handwoordeboek van die Afrikaanse taal the meaning of the word Boerboel is given as a farm dog of uncertain origin. This is most certainly no longer true, as I am sure you will acknowledge once you have read through this chapter. According to information…

Here is one of the most important Boerboel photographs that I have ever taken. I have a ton of impressive photos on my phone of our Boerboels… some of the photos are even stunning and make people go ‘wow!’ Some even have impressive trophies and awards…and we are grateful for all of them. But this photo here is one of the most important of all. Because this photo captures the Soul of the Boerboel. This photo shows Egoli Betty out with our daughter at Egoli Ranch. When Opal is out exploring the land, Betty absolutely will not leave her side…ever. When I came up over the hill on my tractor…
