Boerboels weigh between 120 and 200 pounds and often underestimate their own power. Bred to protect families and hunt game, they are courageous and loyal. Boerboels will defend their family at all costs and can become aggressive if they sense danger. They may revert to a survival mode if their humans appear threatened. Early socialization and training are recommended for new owners.
