Where do we even start with this fun, spunky, and confident girl?

That description pretty much says it all!

 

When our daughter Parabelle, asked if she could choose, keep and train a puppy from Congo and Freya’s litter, I had to think about it for a moment. I ultimately agreed, on one condition: she had to put her heart and soul into training her new pup, and she absolutely has!

 

Parabelle and Vanessa have become an incredible team! Their hard work has already paid off and Vanessa earned Reserve Winners Bitch two days in a row at her first local AKC show! That’s a huge accomplishment, especially considering she and Parabelle were competing against seasoned adult females and experienced handlers. We couldn’t be prouder of them both!

​

Although Vanessa was appraised and scored, we understood from the start that she could not receive official SABBS registration paperwork. The reason lies in her father, WOR Congo. Congo was also appraised and scored exceptionally well but was unfortunately disqualified, not for his quality or structure, but simply because he carries the Piebald gene, which results in excessive white coloring.

 

Despite this disqualification, Congo’s pedigree is rich with exceptional old bloodlines, and he boasts excellent health scores and an outstanding temperament. We chose to breed with Congo, recognizing both his genetic value and the fact that the Piebald gene is recessive, meaning both parents MUST carry it for the trait to appear in their offspring.

 

This thoughtful pairing produced an outstanding litter, healthy, well-balanced, and true to the Boerboel’s loyal and confident nature!
