I'm Mary J., the breeder behind Askuwheto Boerboels located in Lakebay, WA. We are a small hobby breeder in the Lakebay area of Washington State. Our goal is to produce quality Boerboels that have excellent health and temperament while still following the breed standard. All of our breeding dogs have been DNA tested for genetic diseases and have undergone hip and elbow evaluations (PennHip, OFA), OFA cardiac (echo), and CERF eye exams. We do occasionally use outside studs with similar health testing done.

Askuwheto Boerboels was very communicative through the whole process, and is breeding some beautiful pups! Our new puppy came to us very well socialized, and at 11 weeks, she was already trained in several basic commands, and was basically potty trained. She is a keen observer of the world around her, and is totally fearless. She's not spooked by other animals, people or loud noises. It's clear to me how much work Askuwheto Boerboels has down with our puppy, and I'm so grateful! I'd recommend Askuwheto Boerboels to anyone looking for one of these beautiful dogs, and we'll definitely be back when we're ready for another!
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
