“Hope” mother of my current three “Tallwater, Agressa, Boelbella”
Hope was a pretty good bitch; tough, smart, protective, and eager to please.
She, like her daughters, was constantly looking you in the eye

“Dopper Bafana” Sire of ” Tall Water”, ” Agressa”, ” Boelbella” all from “Hope”
Bafana was an outside male I used; He was well put together as you can see. And I know he had good penn hip scores, for a Boerboel- .37 .37 because I made testing a condition of the agreement, despite being shown excellent hips scores out of S. Africa. In hindsight, I guess I never did trust the owner; but the dog was stable, confident.
The owner turned out to be the most twisted character I’ve yet to meet in the often strange drama I’ve come to refer to as “As the Boerboel Turns,” if not Dogdom on the whole. An individual, turns out, so bizarre I’m disinclined to type his name, cause I don’t want to be associated with it, even incidentally, even by search engine.
if ever I needed an excuse not to give a guy a dog (which was supposed to be the stud fee) his story surly provided it ( chuckle ) The truth however is, we were exchanging threats before I even knew his bio, cause he tried to con me. But it actually worked out to be a pretty good deal, for me. I expect I’m on a very short list of people that managed not to get Bleeped dealing with him. I got a nice litter out of it. Gratitude and or bullets remains all I have to offer in return.
The brindle below was named “Doc” out of “Night Train” and ” Blackwell’s Vegter” and dam to my “Hope”
“Doc” again
Doc again
Doc belonged to a gentleman by the name of Jerry Heater, who if memory serves, said she was the best he ever had, he also said she had exceptional penn hip scores.
Doc was bred to Blackwells Vegter with Penn hip scores in the .3’s if memory serves. A breeding repeated several times by the Kansahoma kabal and Blackwell kept and bred several bitches from it heavily.
” Night Train” sired ” Doc ” dam of “Hope” dam of ” Tall Water,” ” Agressa,” “BoelBella”
“Night Train” ( now deceased ) belonged to a breeder by the name of David Harris who basically built his kennel of him. John Blackwell the founder of the USBA, also used this dog very heavily. A lotta folks in a Boerboel centric circles of the Kansas/oklahoma region seem to think Mr. Harris walks on water, I know better. But what ever one might say about these two gentlemen nobody can deny they bring an extraordinary amount of dog experience and dog knowledge. And they saw fit to build on this dog, like no other. He’s probably the single most bred dog in USBA history.
Night train was purported to have Penn hip scores of .28 .28 which was the best score in Boerboels for a considerable period of time.
