Empowering Boerboel Breeders and Owners With Knowledge
We are in relentless pursuit of the world's best dog. We believe the South African Boerboel is that dog — and we share 20+ years of hands-on experience freely, because advocates who put knowledge first are what this breed deserves.

This is not just a breeding program. It is a mission to find the greatest dog the world has ever seen. The ultimate working mastiff. The ultimate protector. The ultimate companion built for modern life.
Zero shortcuts. Zero compromises. My dogs eat raw food I source myself. They train, run, and live alongside me every single day. They do not live in kennels. They live in a pack, in harmony, with purpose and deep bond.
20+ years learning exactly what dogs need to truly thrive. The mission is not just breeding the best Boerboel on earth. It is helping you build that same unbreakable bond with yours.

The Schools We Believe In
Our Training Philosophy
We don't subscribe to methods — we subscribe to understanding. These three schools represent the gold standard of dog development: structure, clarity, natural psychology, and deep respect for the animal.
Pack Psychology & Calm Energy
Understand the Dog as a Species
This approach centers on understanding the dog as a species — not projecting human emotions onto it. Dogs communicate through energy, body language, and consistent leadership. A calm, assertive owner creates a calm, confident dog.
- Exercise, discipline, affection — in that order
- Be the stable, calm energy your dog needs
- Rules, boundaries, and limitations aren't unkind — they're essential
- Rehabilitation is always possible with patience and consistency
Clarity, Structure & Consequence
Structure Builds Confident Dogs
Dogs thrive on clarity. Vague commands and inconsistent responses create anxious, confused animals. This approach gives dogs the dignity of being held accountable — which builds genuine confidence and reliability.
- Clarity in commands produces clarity in behavior
- Dogs are capable of more than we ask of them
- Consistent consequences — positive and corrective — build trust
- A trained dog is a free dog — freedom earned through structure
Relationship, Respect & Sacred Bond
The Bond Is the Foundation
This philosophy brings a spiritual dimension to dog development — the relationship between human and dog is a sacred bond built on mutual respect, attentive observation, and genuine care. These methods are patient, holistic, and deeply rooted in understanding.
- Know your dog — study its individual personality
- The bond built in puppyhood shapes the adult dog
- Socialization is not an event — it's an ongoing commitment
- Love and discipline are not opposites — they complete each other

What We Stand For
The Dog We Believe In
We are in relentless pursuit of the world's best dog. We believe the South African Boerboel is that dog — and if we hold it in that regard, we cut no corners. We go and get our own raw dog food. We handle the puppies. We raise them as companions. We do the hard work because the breed demands nothing less.
Defender. Deflector. Deterrent.
The Boerboel protects through presence and instinct — not aggression. Their mere observation of a threat deters it. Their instincts are finely tuned to read a room, a person, a moment. This is not an aggressive breed. These are virtues — and they make the Boerboel the ideal guardian for the modern family.
Complete & Balanced
We do not chase a single trait. We pursue the whole dog — correct structure, sound temperament, sharp intelligence, and physical excellence. We celebrate the Boerboel's raw athleticism and muscular physique as a core principle of what this breed must be. Balance is everything.
Companion First
The Boerboel is the ultimate dog for today's modern society. We raise them as family members — companions above all else. A Boerboel that is handled from birth, loved, exercised, and understood doesn't just protect a home. It defines it.
"We celebrate the athleticism and muscular physique of the Boerboel. This is not vanity — it is a reflection of a complete, capable animal. A dog built for life."Jordan Pittman — Exotic Boerboels
Development in Practice
A Conditioned Dog Is A Balanced Dog.
Dogs need a job. They need movement, structure, and mental challenge. Jordan personally runs a bike-conditioning program with his dogs — not for show, but because a physically engaged Boerboel is a psychologically stable one. The principle all three of our training schools agree on: exercise first, training second, affection third.

Our Commitment to You & the Breed
We don't make promises about price. We make promises about standards — the ones we hold ourselves to every day.
Health-First Breeding
Every breeding decision begins with health. Our sires and dams are evaluated for structure, temperament, and genetic soundness before any pairing. We apply a 2-year health guarantee to every puppy we place — because we stand behind our program.
Super Puppy Program
Dr. Carmen Battaglia's neurological stimulation protocol is applied from birth through day 16 — clinically proven to improve cardiovascular performance, stress tolerance, and cognitive development. Every litter gets this foundation.
Honest Matchmaking
We have a conversation before we introduce you to a puppy. We want to understand your lifestyle, your experience, your home, and your goals. The right match is everything — for the dog and for your family.
Education for Life
When your puppy goes home, our relationship continues. Jordan is personally reachable for training guidance, nutrition questions, health concerns, and anything else that comes up. We don't drop the leash at handoff.
Physically Prepared Dogs
All our adult dogs are exercised and conditioned regularly. A Boerboel that arrives having been properly exercised, socialized, and challenged develops into a far more stable adult. We do the work early so you have it easier later.
Breed Integrity Above All
We are advocates for the Boerboel breed standard — not the commercial version, but the true South African working dog. Every breeding decision is made with the long-term health and integrity of the breed in mind.
From Our Community
What Families & Breeders Say
"Jordan is the first breeder I've spoken to who spent an hour just asking about my lifestyle before he even mentioned a dog. That conversation taught me more about Boerboels than anything I'd read online. The dog he matched us with has been everything he described."
"What I appreciate most is that Jordan is honest even when honesty means telling you a Boerboel might not be right for you right now. That kind of integrity is rare in this world. When I was ready, he knew it, and so did I."
"As a breeder myself, I was skeptical. But Jordan's knowledge of bloodlines, his understanding of pack psychology, and his commitment to conditioning are genuinely rare. I've learned more from Jordan in three conversations than in five years of reading."
