Boerboels weigh between 120 and 200 pounds and frequently underestimate their own strength. Bred for family protection and game hunting, they demonstrate courage and loyalty. Boerboels will defend their family at any cost and can become aggressive when sensing danger. They may revert to survival instincts if their humans appear threatened. Early socialization and training are strongly recommended for new owners.
