ATARAXIA JOAN JETT:

Back in the day when we stupidly believed that a black dog could actually be a Boerboel we imported a black bitch puppy from a breeder in Australia.The import process went well,she arrived safely in Edinburgh and she grew well and all was good until her first season when she developed a major VH,something we were not warned about in the lines by the breeder. Would we have paid more attention if we had been told specifically,probably not at that time in our Boerboel journey......Unlike many breeders out there ,and yes they do exist all over the world as we now know,we absolutely will not use any bitch with any grade of VH in our breeding programme and she had to be spayed and rehomed with a lovely older couple up North. All we lost on that was the very expensive shipping fee,the time,the energy and the loss of a good girl............
