Boerboels by the "Score"

In my opinion, the appraisal system for Boerboels is being over-used to sell puppies.  If you are looking at Boerboel puppies, don't get caught up in the arbitrary score assigned by an appraisal system, a hip score or health score.  These are only numbers, and are not indicative of the dog that you will be getting.  At the end of the day, assess your requirements for a dog.  You won't be living with a piece of paper or a score sheet.  The Boerboel was meant to be a working dog, not a score.


A quick Google query of "Boerboel Puppies for Sale" shows the heavy advertising of Boerboels based on their score.  The score doesn't make the dog, it's a way to advertise puppies and brag that your puppies are better than the next guys.  Form follows function, not the other way around.
