First Boerboel Breeder in the UK to start creating their own line, i.e a Sandaharr bred dog being mated to another Sandaharr bred dog. In this way we have a tighter control on our own health database and can start to see what dogs are producing what traits rather than using guesswork and prayers. We have bred and owned 6 generations of dogs now.
