The Boerboel is a massive South African Mastiff bred for protecting farms and property. Known for their intelligence, strength, and independence, they require extensive training and leadership.
Boerboels are banned in Denmark and Romania, where concerns over their protective nature and aggression have led to restrictions. Without firm guidance, Boerboels can become territorial and overly aggressive toward strangers.
Why They’re Banned: Extreme guarding instincts and strong protective nature. Where They’re Banned: Denmark, Romania, and parts of Europe.
