Well gertie is our newest addition to our family and we simply adore her. I was a vet tech for 5 years and did a lot of research before getting my big girl. She is my first Boerboel and I'm in total awe of the breed so far. I'd read that they can be prone to dog aggression so she has been on an intense socialization regiment. She goes to the dog park on a daily basis and I try and make it a point to have her meet as many people as possible. This breed is known for there guarding ability and at 6 months she has already started to show that the house is hers and when people come to the door she waits very cautiously until dad or mom allow them in at which point she becomes all tail wags and kisses. Well sorry for the novel but here are some pics enjoy.
