Boerboel Obesity

Often I hear of people requesting the largest puppy. Let me tell you that is worrying because in the back of my mind I am wondering is this person going to try to grow this puppy as big and fast as possible. Extra size does not add up to a better dog.

Is a one hundred and fifty pound dog large enough. If not how big do you need your Boerboel to be. Let me warn you that this is the best way to ruin your puppy. there are numerous health risk that are associated with dogs being overweight. It almost as bad as it is with people. Actually the statistics mirror those of people. Diabetes osteoarthritis high blood pressure heart disease are ailment just to name a few that obese dogs suffer from.

I have heard of some outrageous things that people do to make the dog feel as if they are loved. you heard it hear first the dogs love is unconditional. there is nothing you can do to make the dog love feel extra love. Including feeding your puppy food that you should not even eat like Macaroni and cheese.

The truth is that your are doing the dog a huge disservice and even could go as far to say that you are shortening the dogs lifespan. It can be a hard pill to swallow but the truth is this type of spoiling that you may apply to your son or daughter is just as counterproductive. Any person who is under the school of thought that only the largest dog will do let me point you in the direction of our latest post on our updated website. Have a look before you decide to over feed.

Matter of fact let me be the one to recommend fasting your dog one day a week. for more in depth information please visit our post dedicated to eliminating canine obesity.

Boerboel pedigrees

After looking at boerboel pedigrees for a few years now what i am beginning to be a bit concerned. A very high percentage of boerboels here in the untied states have the names Lourina Mac and Donkerhoek Kaalpoot in the pedigree. These were very popular sires in their day. The blood was so highly valued that Lourina Mac boerboels and Donkerhoelk kaalpoot dogs bred to the brothers and sisters back and forth on their sons granddaughters and grandsons back to the grandmother.

Fast forward to today and you see the offspring from these matings breeding between each other. Look up any of the pedigrees of your favorite boerboels and I bet you that they end up mentioning the above at least 2 times.

Now I hope that we are not already suffering from inbreeding depression in this breed but it is the truth. as we begin to lock and settle in type history has shown us when breeding dog that you also lock in bad traits sometime hidden disease or illness that cannot be see by the eye.
