SABBS-registered · Family-raised South African Boerboels

Boerboels raised in our home, for families who keep them there.

Welcome to Mass Boerboels. We're a small breeder focused on breed standards and health testing — breeding quality dogs that are forever pets and family guardians.

The homestead record

Plain talk about our program

The breed

South African Boerboels — a heritage guardian breed, bred to standard and steady with its people.

The registry

Registered with the South African Boerboel Breeders' Society (SABBS) — the breed's official registry in South Africa.

The dogs

All of our dogs are SABBS appraised and health-tested to be in our program — no exceptions, no shortcuts.

The pups

Born and raised in the house and the yard with our family — not in a kennel run.

Litters

Why our program

Small breeder. High standard.

We're a small kennel on purpose. Every litter is planned around breed standards and health testing — hips, elbows, eyes, and temperament — because a Boerboel is a serious dog: big, loyal, and built to guard.

Every dog in our program is SABBS appraised and health-tested before they ever join a pairing. Our goal is simple: quality dogs that become forever pets and family guardians. Puppies spend their first eight weeks in our house and yard, around kids, guests, and everyday noise — so the dog that comes home to you is the dog you met here.

SABBS appraised

All of our dogs are SABBS appraised — structure, type, and temperament scored against the breed standard.

Health testing

Hips, elbows, eyes, and temperament evaluated. Health testing to be in our program is the bar, not a bonus.

SABBS registered

A registered breeder with the South African Boerboel Breeders' Society — pedigrees and appraisals you can verify.

Forever homes

We breed for quality, not quantity — pets and guardians placed with families for life.

Steady dogs aren't made in a kennel run. They're made in the yard, with the family, day after day.
