Black has been rejected for the Boerboel by the Registrar of Animal Improvement in South Africa. The Boerboel is a protected landrace in South Africa through the Department of Agriculture, Forestries and Fisheries.
"The Registrar of Animal Improvement‚ Joel Mamabola‚ has ordered breeders of black Boerbul to bring him “scientific proof” from an internationally accredited institution that the colour is as acceptable as fawn‚ brown‚ or brindle for the breed‚ which is widely considered the most agile of the mastiff-type dogs."This is important to know since it impacts registration of black Boerboels. Currently black dogs are not eligible for registration with AKC or UKC in the US, and now registrations are currently being withheld for black dogs by SABBS in South Africa.
