Garth likes to run, Like A Nut!

Blurry picture. Garth still looks like a puppy

Garth got on the scale today!

Garth weighed in today at 93.7lbs. He is about a week or so past his 9month birthday. I must say that Garth is not as leggy or long as my other boerboel. Garth is a little tank. Garth played with Nero last Sunday and they had a great time. They even killed one of my chickens together. I did not want this to happen, I did not get mad either. I think it was a bonding experience of sorts. I am happy with Garth. More pics tomorrow when the sun is out. Life is Boerboel Good!

New photos of Garth

The Mighty Sampson

OK everyone, time to get jealous. Just look at that pup. His name is Sampson, he has come all the way from South Africa. This is yet another example of a Spitsvuur pup. This is one lucky dog, the new owners are very good parents. This dog will be well taken care of. Sampson's new family tells me he is an impressive puppy. Temperament is right on track. Tough little guy survived the journey and is settling in to his new, loving home. I am so happy that a boerboel pup is in the right home. I must say I have adopted Sampson as a nephew. I will always be his Uncle Paul. My own funny way of connecting with a dog that is not even mine. It must be a boerboel thing.

7 months and 82lbs, The Garth

Garth is learning

The reason I posted this stuff about Rex. This is something Garth needs to learn, that I can bring other animals onto the farm. This is a good thing for Garth to learn at a young age. The younger the easier.

This is Rex

Well, this is Rex. He was dropped off last Friday and left on the street to survive in this condition. I was contacted Sunday Morning, I got him and took him to the emergency vet. Rex needed 6 baths to get the urine and feces smell out of his fur. Rex has just about everything wrong with him. Mange, worms, pressure sores, skin infections. The worst thing is that he was starved as a growing puppy. Rex is only 5 months old. Some human starved a Puppy. I will have to end this here. I do not have anything else nice to say at this point. Rex needs a good home! I will heal him, fatten him up, and do some leash work. He should be ready for a new home in 60 days. Garth is just dying to play with the little guy. I can't let him, Rex is only 18lbs and fragile. Rex has very weak bones right now. Here I go again. Oh well, this is what I do. I didn't go to church on Sunday. Well, maybe I was in a real church??

One more Action Shot on Garth's Birthday

This is very hard to get. Two dogs running together. Assero and Garth.

6 Months old and 68lbs on Empty!

More pics of Garth Mid April

This dog is so damn cute. He does have an Evil streak in him. LOL. He really pushes things to get attention. Garth is a really good Boerboel. Not an easy boy, but that's ok. Garth has a lot of spirit. Life is boerboel good.

Garth is 5 months old now.

A Christmas Gift!

Click on the link above. This is a video a Very Good Friend of mine did as a surprise for me over a year ago. My first two boerboels. There is more to this story. This same friend gave me Maccabee. I am so lucky. Check it out, they are so young in this production.

Assero and that back

Assero's back is usually straight/flat. He seems to be a little tense, or ready to play when he is with his newest brother Garth. I will get some pics of Assero looking normal, by himself. Assero can go for 6 miles at a run. He is very sure footed, and he can Hunt. He is my personal guard dog.

Forgot these two pics from the 12th

Nero, the not so easy boerboel!

Yes, this dog is the kind to give your patience a test. What we consider a not easy to handle animal. I have him under control, happy, and his spirit is in tact. Nero was supposed to go to a loving home Jan. 1, 2008. Nero went lame on me Dec. 31. I will be his last home and keep him comfortable. He is my special boy. I will always have the scars on my arms to remember him, lol. I love him dearly.

My runt, little Maccabee!

This is my little Maccabee. He is a very good dog. Easy out in public, but responds quickly to danger. Maccabee has one leg shorter in front. This is a result of an operation to save the leg. He can really run on it when he wants and does play rough with his brother still. Maccabee barks and Assero comes running. Assero is the one who guards the fence lines.

Life is Boerboel Good!

Here are some pics of Garth and Assero on March 12, 2008! Assero was not in the mood for the little fellow today, but he tolerated him and they did have fun. Check out that action shot, so hard to get. These dogs are very fast for their size.

March 12, Assero and Garth
