Well, after looking at your website and reading about boerboels, I now know why I haven't heard of them. Very interesting. You may post your website here, if you like. Other readers may also be interested in this breed. Can you give me a price range for a boerboel puppy? I know, if you ask, then you can't afford it, but I must ask. I would appreciate contact information for a boerboel kennel in the US. In the meantime, I will Google it and maybe I'll come across their website.
Thank you
Mick

Mick,
Not 100% sure of the prices over in America.
Over in the UK it can be quite wide spread between £1,250 - £2,500
I'll try and get the link on later on today.
For my website for anyone interested please visit www.zionboerboels.co.uk

Jip,
I actually did some googling and found a few US breeders. It looks like the prices are anywhere from $500 (300UK) for a spay female to $3000 (1850 UK) for a breeder. Anyway that is what I came across with a cursory examination. I did find a mention of a kennel in Ohio, which is only a few hundred miles (650km) from us. There was also a mention of kennels in Colorado and Alabama, 2000 plus miles (3000km) which is a bit too far to check out a dog. By the way, assuming you are not particularly knowledgeable of US geography, put our address in Google earth or Google maps, 178 Fitch St., St. Ignace, Michigan 49781. We live on what is called the Straits of Mackinac, where Lake Michigan and Lake Huron connect. In fact, I love one city block from Lake Huron and 5 city blocks from Lake Michigan. These "lakes" are really inland seas that are fresh water, not salt water.
We'll be leaving within the hour to go to a motorcycle swap meet in the Detroit, MI area for a few days and won't be home until Monday. So if I don't respond, I simply am not here. Keep posting. I enjoy them.

Well I must appreciate your appeasing my ignorance. I do confess to knowing very little of the geography of America. It has always seemed a huge place to me. I can't imagine being able to drive without stopping for over a week???
If I drove in any direction for more than 14 hours over here I'd be in the sea. Though I guess that would technically no longer be driving, more a sort of aquatic automotive experience. Either way I think my point stands.
Hope your swap meet went well?
Sorry for the silence, I have been a little flat out at work so haven't had the chance to waffle for a bit.
I'm very excited though. I've decided I'm going to put a poem together and add it to the litteracy section. Though again this is somewhat work restricted so will do my best to be speedy with it.

Jip,
I know this is off topic, but the USA is huge and because of that, it is difficult for anybody to make assumptions about Americans. We are varied and different in so many ways. Many of our states are larger than most of the European countries. The state of Michigan I live in is 400 miles, (600km) from North to South. I live in what is called the Upper Peninsula. Recently, a friend of mine from Pennsylvania sent me some pics of Moose and wondered if they had been taken near me because they were from the UP. In reality, they were taken 200 miles (300km) west of where I live. Michigan is about 400 miles, east to west as well and because of the Great Lakes, Lake Huron, Lake Superior, Lake Michigan and Lake Erie, it isn't rectangular. It is shaped like two hands.
I travel in my business, but I have only been in about 35 of the 50 states. Many people never see more than the one they live in and maybe one bordering state. Anyway, we are gone most weekends and so we are not around too much. I was going to pick up a laptop this week, but auto repairs came along and they have to come first.
