Introducing My Puppy Boerboel to a GIANT Newfounland!

Appreciate the cues about wanting to play and wanting to stop play. Just met a 7 yr old Boerbel who was well behaved and well socialized. And the owner said the same thing, the dog isn’t for everyone and you have to put the work in to be able to control the dog. The owner put a lot of work in and has a beautiful dog. Thanks again for educating!

I appreciate that you are waiting for him to mature for "age appropriate " skills. Awesome Tom! You really are the coolest❤

We love the Burleigh vids! I'm much happier seeing more of these videos regularly, than waiting for extra editting. Keep the Burleigh content coming Tom 🙂

That’s one of the best quality boerboels I’ve ever seen. Little dude is jacked and shizzled from day one

I love watching Burleigh's training and I hope you continue showing his progress...!

These training videos with him are perfect timing and so helpful. My husband and I are currently debating on getting a Boerboel. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

I was lucky enough to meet a boerboel last month while at work. The owner brought him over from South Africa, and his name was Reverend. 3 years old and absolutely the densest dog ive ever pet. I held his head in my hands and it was HUGE! Its not the biggest ive seen in real life, that goes to my friend's newfoundland, but it was certainly the widest head ive seen on a dog. He was so sweet. His lil nub tail was wagging so much it was so cute. I was like "I dunno if I could see this sweet guy taking on a lion like they were originally bred for, but I would trust him with my life." And that gave the owner a laugh. He was a great guy. you could tell the dog and him really loved each other. He was very well groomed and trained.

I loooove this video! I like how you mentioned the maturity level of the dog, a lot of people don’t take that into account!!!! Great job Tom ☺️

Cute watching the big boys rumble & tumble! ❤️🐕❤️

I love seeing Burleigh, my daughter just purchase 2 Cane Corso’s Titan and Thor ( brothers) they are taking them everywhere they go to,socialize. They are also having them trained by a professional that trains their police dogs at the sheriff’s office where they work. They are beautiful puppies that weigh 40 pounds and are I believe they are 16 weeks old. Their ears are not cropped so they don’t look fierce.

Omg he's gotten so BIG SO FAST..LOL GORGEOUS. U DO AMAZING WRK

I have 2 Boerboels a 5 yr old an a 2 yr old......the 2 yr old ran into our couch head first at 5 months wen playing an it pinched his spine an the spine stroked out....he spent nearly 5 wks in nappies an had to learn how to walk again on the back legs but we gave him physio twice aday everyday an plenty of mental stimulation an he came through it after bout a yr....but it left him slightly mentaly slow so hes now known in our town as the BFG...hes so gentle an calm....just as well as he weighs 74kg atm. I simply adore Burleys goofyness.😊😊😊

Good stuff. My Labs that are 2 and 2 1/2 can definately get rough when playing. We taught them "all done" to end play when it is getting rough, let them chill out briefly then break them to start again. Oddly enough my 2 1/2 yr old Corso is more gentle when playing.

I have a 10 year old Boerbel HIs first few years was tough but worth all the work, its funny he is still a puppy loves his toys its fun to see him play in his head he is still a puppy. Thanks Tom for your great videos always alot of help for me, I have 2 gsd same age, yes one of those crazy people ended up with 2 puppies same dad. My Boerbel just ignores them most the time.

Thanks Everyone, Lovely video. Such good boys! Xx

Thank you for explaining mastiff type behaviour! I have a cane Corso and she behaves very differently from every other dog I've had. You've pointed out a few things that normalized her behaviour (slow development, doesn't want to leave her property, very watchful outside and not playful with other dogs)

Tom, Burleigh is doing so well! Great job, Tom. He is adorable, too🥰🐶

Can't wait to see more videos this puppy

I've found this video and the previous socialisation one really helpful. It's good to see it in action with a handler who knows how to read the signs and how to respond. I find it hard to know how to react in the moment when my dog meets other dogs.

I love that you tell about what the dog needs, what kind of owner it needs. Like you say, they're wonderful dogs with the right owners - and very few people are. It sadens me when people get dogs like Burleigh, just to show off. Not only do the dogs get the blame when something goes wrong, they can do quite some damage in the wrong hands. I for sure wouldn't be able to own a dog like him. He's super cute, just adorable and I'm happy for him that he gets an owner like you!
