Translating the South African Boerboel Pedigree

An African Boerboel pedigree is a document used to record Ancestry.

In the first place, the pedigree of your dog is the genetic blueprint to how a fine specimen is born. Many people see a pedigree as nothing more than a registration document and nothing more. For the most part, to an African Boerboel Breeder, the genealogy is much more for it holds the keys to achievement. Generally speaking, after you see a Boerboel you like, seek its pedigree and get to know what is behind the dog. We believe in heavily researching and studying a dog pedigree before we decide to use that dog in our breeding program. All of the dogs in the chart is like a recipe for the given dog. It shows where it all started. Initially, the founders of our breed went out and selected 80 or so dogs to be used to create the breed foundation.

Of this original 80, some dogs produced better than others. To South African Boerboel breeders finding out who these dogs were and how they once bred is vital information.

In most cases, the dogs closest to the front (Parents/Grand Parents) of the pedigree usually have the most significant representation of dominant genes. So in effect, it is imperative to have solid facts about the Sire Dam and Grandsires and Grand dams.

The goals of a robust breeding program should be to eliminate faults and strengthen weaknesses and double up on sought after traits.

Finally, our chosen Boerboel bloodlines are off well-known world champion Boerboels phenotypes and genotypes. A guaranteed way to advance the breed is to use these proven lines. Exotic Boerboels foundation stock is directly from the elite champion South African Boerboel breeders in South Africa. We mimic their breeding trends and patterns to produce dogs they have the same desired traits. Before acquiring dogs, we studied the pedigrees back to the original 80 Boerboels. Before importing we had to find out as much as we information as we could. To breed the magnificent Boerboels, we had envisioned we researched and studied everything about the health and performance of our Boerboels uncles, aunts, parents, grandparents, cousins, etc. Furthermore, on our desire to produce well tempered, healthy, substantial bone, big head, broad chest, and beautifully impressive dogs result in our choice Boerboel breeding dogs.
