Welcome Bakari South African Boerboels. Located in Spartanburg, South Carolina, we have over six years of experience breeding and exhibiting champion dogs, and we consistently produce quality, well bred, healthy, home-raised puppies that will become an irreplaceable part of your family. We are currently home to two wonderful South African Boerboel Imports, with another two on the way (pending passing hip testing). Please explore our web site to learn more about our Boerboels, Boerboel puppies, our goals, and who we are.

With the wonderful dogs we have had the privilege of importing as the foundation of our breeding program, we feel quite fortunate and excited as to what the future holds for us and our Boerboels.

Translated from the African language of Swahili, our kennel name "Bakari" means "Showing great promise", or, "One who will succeed". We feel our dogs speak for us in the area of their promise and our success, and our kennel has been aptly named because of them. Take home a Bakari Boerboel to join your family, and join our success!

Boerboels are intelligent, reliable, and obedient, with a strong watchdog instinct. They are self-assured and fearless, but responsive to the needs of the family. The Boerboel was specifically bred to be protective without being aggressive. They are loving, playful, even-tempered, athletic and intelligent. At the same time, they have strong protective instincts. It is a unique combination which blends into an overall wonderful character. A Boerboel in your home instinctively becomes the family pet. They especially bond to children - usually deciding that the smallest child in the family is their own special personal responsibility, and is to be looked after under all circumstances. They become the child’s best friend, playmate, guardian, and companin. When a Boerboel is not actively playing with a child, you will find him in the yard "watching" over the children, ready to alarm and defend as needed. He feels the whole family belongs to him and his sole purpose is to protect them, with his life, if necessary.
