Black Iron Boerboels LLC

Becks is a big, gorgeous Bostu Zakishu son with a very loving, gentle and sweet personality with his people despite his now significant stature at just 27 months old. He is still just a baby, and likes to calmly “walk himself” anywhere we take him. He would prefer a bridle instead over a collar, which would be fitting given his pony-sized self😆. Becks is now 220lbs and close to 30” tall at the withers. We are looking forward to seeing him develop over the next 2-3 years! His pedigree goes back on Bostu Zazu, MES Askam and Cabaret Pavarotti in the first 3 generations. Becks’s dam is Outlaw Halle Berry who is sired by Middlepos Rowdy. Rowdy is an awesome producer and he crosses beautifully with KS Judge genetics. Halle’s dam is Outlaw Annie Oakley. Annie is a littermate to Outlaw Creed(Riff’s sire), Outlaw Drax, and so on which were a result of a breeding between Black Iron Tucker x Barbarian Athena(Blitzkrieg Dexter x KS Smoochi). Proof that some accidents are great ones! Black Iron Tucker is from our KS Judge x KS Bikkiejoi litter from many years ago, and I highly suspect that is where a majority of Becks size is coming from despite being generations behind him.

KLEIN SANDFONTEIN JUDGE There is so much to be said about Klein Sandfontein Judge(now 7.5 yrs old)! Few would argue that this amazing dog will make a positive impact on the Boerboel breed for years to come. For over 6 yrs Judge held the title of Highest SABBS Linear Appraisal score in the world of 93.4% from April 2017 – April 2023, and was later outscored by his daughter! To this day, Judge still remains the highest appraised SABBS linear male globally. In September 2018, he also won Senior Champion Male, Grand Champion Male, and Dog of the Day at the 2018 Fall USA SABBS Show during the Boerboel Expo. However, his purpose here is as a farm and family dog and not a show dog. Judge is my personal protector, and my heart dog❤️. I imported him over from South Africa as a puppy in 2016, and this dog has held a huge piece of my heart ever since. My kids refer to him as my favorite child, lol. Judge turned 7yrs old on Jan 20, 2023. He is a large and substantial male at 29.5”, typically weighing in at 195-200 lbs. He puts a whole new spin on PRESENCE. He is a dog that looks right thru you. He is sound in all public environments, but is by no means a push over. He takes his job of guarding very seriously as many can attest. The bone, front and shoulders on this guy can’t be captured in photos. He is a completely different looking dog in person, and is a very dominant producer of these traits. In addition to his amazing temperament and structure, Judge has PERFECT health scores which put him straight into the elite SABBS Stud Register at just 14 months of age. He passes on all of these traits to his offspring. His first litter hit the ground in July 2017, and we are truly blessed with what he has produced not only for our program, but for the Boerboel breed. His full impact will be known in the years to come. He adds significant bone, substance, his signature chest/shoulders/rear end and angulation, as well as his fabulous temperament onto his offspring. Judge is a fast natural breeder, and unlike many in this breed he has maintained phenomenal fertility and is producing big healthy litters at 7.5 yrs old. He is a proven producer of very good health scores. Judge is a dominant producer…regardless of what he is bred too. Today, you will find him in the pedigrees of many of the top scoring dogs in the breed. NOTE: Judge’s Optimal Selection Genetics Report is available via the NABBA Pedigree link (to be renamed soon). The report covers testing for 150+ genetic diseases and more than 20 traits including coat colors, coat types, and morphology.

Keeper is our top KS Judge son, and we are beyond excited to see what he can bring to the table. He made the SABBS Stud Register at a very young age, which is obtained by a combination of appraising highly and having good health scores. He is an extremely athletic and agile male which I feel this breed needs desperately. At only 2 years old he has a lot of developing still to do, but so far we are quite pleased to say the least!
