If you are thinking of importing a Boerboel from another country,
there are certain things to be aware of. You could import directly
from South Africa, however the dog would have to be isolated in quarantine
for six months. Not very nice for the dog, especially for a puppy
and of course you will incur fees for the kenneling.
Some people have to do this of course and If you are considering this
it is always a good idea to involve one of the recognised South African
organisations such as the SABT
or HBSA.
Most breeders are reputable but some are not. You will not necessarily
know how to tell them apart so seek professional advice.
There
are however a number of countries that are included in the new Pet
Passport scheme. Using this method you can avoid the quarantine
period.
Remember that these are large powerful pack animals and we would
strongly recommend obtaining one from
a pup, so you may train & socialise it correctly. A puppy that
goes through quarantine misses vital socialisation at a crucial
developmental stage.
