Diane J Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 I've just moved back to Australia after 10 years living os and now that I'm back home would like to start looking for a new family member. I've owned rottweilers since my late teens and for the last 8 years have owned Dogo Argentinos. Moving back to Perth meant leaving my beloved 3 dogos back in Spain with a good friend. My 6 year old daughter is really missing her 'brothers & sister', so I wanted to start looking for a breed with similar personality traits to the dogo. While my daughter is keen for us to have a rottweiler, I'm really interested in the boerboels. Just something about them gives me the same vibe that the dogo argentino originally gave me. Owning 5 dogos (and personally knowing many individual dogos) over the years, I've (as well as my daughter who knows no other breed) been blessed to have owned the most amazing beautiful dogs. If anyone here owns boerboels or know of where we can physically meet them in person, I would really appreciate it. Di Our last rottweiler Nasser and first dogo argentino, Casper.

Nekhbet Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 not in WA but email Ataraxia Kennels in NSW, they'll be able to give you info on the breed in Australia http://www.ataraxia.ozehosting.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poodlefan Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Can't help on Boerboels but I wonder if the Italian Corso Dog might be another possiblity for you. Sorry to hear you had to leave your Dogo's behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lic_82 Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Send a pm to Ashley. He will more than likely be able to point you in the right direction. Good luck. Boerboels are lovely dogs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lab_Rat Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Hey Diane, I have seen one Boerbel in Perth, but cant help you out about where to get hold of one sorry. Im guessing it would be from the above mentioned Kennel, Ataraxia. They sure are a beautiful dog! Rat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldogz4eva Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 There are several Boerboels in WA already not all from Ataraxia but all come down from their dogs originally obviously.No litters here yet to my knowledge but it wont be long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diane J Posted April 29, 2010 Author Share Posted April 29, 2010 (edited) Thanks everyone for your replies. I'll definitely be contacting the breeders and getting my pup from interstate - not the first time I've had to import and I doubt it will be the last. At least my pup won't have an 11 hour flight to deal with like my female dogo did Just can't wait to see these dogs in person ;) My two pups in Spain with my daughter.....
